Overview

Chris led the Fox Way, a 45 mile LDP, at the height of his powers and this proved to be the most challenging stage, not because of the terrain which is mostly flat but because of various public transport disasters on the day. We will walk from Worplesdon Station to Ripley Village  where we will probably take a bus ride to Esher Station.  At the pub stop in Cartbridge we will raise a glass to Chris who passed away one year ago on this day. Buy a return to Guildford as we might return from Clandon depending on the buses at Ripley (also a possible drink stop).Text me to book by Monday 6pm
