Moderate 5.5 miles / 8.8 km (Estimated finish time: 13:30)
This undulating countryside walk encompasses woodland, pastures, common land, farmland, a tree plantation and lakes. It progresses from the tops of the Greensand Hills with a steep descent southwards into Jelley's Hollow gulley, eventually returning via Lapscombe Lakes and a section of the noted Greensand Way.
There is a very minimal amount of road/lane walking and just a handful of stiles to negotiate.
Winterfold is a wooded area of the broadest plateau of the western Greensand Ridge. The Hurtwood is a stunning mix of magical pinewoods and heaths, ponds and glades, wildlife and wilderness.

Moderate 6 miles / 9.7 km (Estimated finish time: 13:00)
This walk is a kind of pilgrimage, not only because it takes you along the Pilgrim's Way in Surrey but also because its central point is the church of St Martha on a hilltop near Guildford. This is a walk dominated by enduring views but there is also a long stretch in the deeply forested North Downs. The placid waters of the Silent Pool make a fitting start and end to the pilgrimage.
