Overview

After a storm-impacted attempt last year, a second go at swapping the city for the Christmas countryside, as we visit locations from the hit festive film The Holiday! Places include the site of Iris's cottage and The White Horse pub in Shere, Graham's Mill House near Wonersh, and Amanda's shopping destination in Godalming. Between which we'll also take in the lovely landscape of the Surrey Hills. Please bring a packed lunch. Pub stop at lunchtime (for drinks only), and at the end.

Terrain: Tracks, Country Lanes, Woods, Fields, River Path
