Overview

Come and join John for an adventurous ramble with steep ascents and descents. Moderate pace. We walk near Farleigh Warlingham before heading back, passing Fickleshole. We walk along various parts of the Vanguard Way, London Loop, Greenwich Mean Time paths with plenty of nice views.

Stiles:- The last few miles have 10 stiles of various heights and general states of repair. This could be seen as strenuous. A good level of fitness is required. Please bring a picnic and fluids. No opt out points. Toilets on East Croydon Station platform.
