Overview

Our annual walk with the London Blind Rambling Group will take place on Sunday 13th April starting at 10.30 at Guildford main line station GU1 4UT.  One option for LBR is a train leaving Waterloo at 0930 due in at Guildford at 1010.

The walk will take us along the Wey Navigation tow path to its starting point in Godalming. The walk is approximately 6 miles in distance although it is on easy level ground. After excessive rain the path will be muddy in places but nothing to bother good footwear. Lunch stop is planned after the walk in a park in Godalming where seats and tables are available. Good public facilities are available close by which are free.
