Overview

A moderate paced walk along Highcombe Ridge, descending to the depths of the Punch Bowl then climbing to Gibbet Hill for the views. Then the long way back to the main car park via the other side of Hindhead Common and the Greensand Way. Good paths but there can be muddy areas after lots of rain. No stiles. Several steep ascents & descents. 

If you have any queries, please contact the Walk Leader by text on their mobile number.
