Overview

Time to re-visit the Wey and Arun canal two years on from the wonderful canal boat outing that Nick C organised. This time we shall just be walking, on a 7 mile route along the canal to Drungewick aqueduct, then circling north through attractive woodland, where we can expect to see spring flowers, to Alfold Bars and back along the canal. No hills! Option of refreshments or lunch at the Onslow Arms pub after the walk.

Car sharing worth arranging if possible. Contact the leader if could offer or would like to take up a lift.
