Ramblers Working Party Basic Background Details FARNHAM RAMBLERS....NEWSLETTER 62....SPRING 2014 Hello everyone - Our very wet winter has been followed by an even wetter spring not the best walking weather!!! But our walks continue apace .... .... but not perhaps over Bishops Meadow on Christmas Eve. John Hemsley, Chairman Walk Leaders and Training Thanks to our walk leaders for their continuing support and particularly new leaders Dennis Barker, Neil Clements, Jenny Colquhoun, Mo Cregan, and Ann Watson - we all need you!!. The walks programme would not happen without you! We are encouraging leaders and prospective leaders to go on a Walk Leaders Training Course. One was run locally in September last year and a second in January 2014. Both highly successful. Based on the reports I have received, these courses were much enjoyed and are found very useful. Surrey Area are running the next course on Saturday 29th. March - see details below. New ‘RingGo’ System for National Trust Car Parks The National Trust have introduced a new cashless parking system at some of their car parks that we occasionally use for our walks. Car parks affected include the Devil’s Punchbowl Café at Hindhead, Harting Down, and Ranmore Common (also known as Denbies Hillside). We understand that ‘pay and display’ machines are still available at Hindhead and Ranmore, but that at Harting Down payment must be made via RingGo, either by phone or on-line using a debit or credit card. The simplest way round this is to ensure that one person in your car takes their National Trust member card, as parking is still free for NT members!. Our WEBSITE As you know the new Farnham and District Ramblers website went live last year www.farnhamramblers.org.uk. It shows all our walks available in many formats. If you click on a given walk, further details appear including a map to the car park. There is a Home Page Notice Board and moving banner which will immediately show changes to or cancellation of walks or other urgent items. There is a members only area which requires a user name of SR03 and, from January 2014, a NEW PASSWORD which is FR2014 ( for Farnham Ramblers and the year hopefully easy to remember ). This will give you access to social events, walk leader phone numbers etc. A section of the website shows pictures and news items linked to our walks and social programme. So if you have one or two good pictures linked to the activities of the Group that you’d like to display, please email them, with some text / captions to our Publicity Officer, Mike Desborough, on [email protected] or to our web master, John Cregan on [email protected] COMING UP Our Spring Social - Saturday March 8th. We meet in South Farnham Middle School for a prompt 7.00 pm start. Graham Parlett who will talk about the Geology of where we walk around Farnham - so a date for your diary. Why is it called the Greensand Way, what is the Weald and how was it formed, how old are the Caesar's Camp gravels, how was the Devil's Punch Bowl formed etc. All the questions you want to ask on a walk but usually don't get an answer. Graham is a Rambler and runs the Geology classes at the U3A. This is a free evening but please bring a plate of food and your own plates and cutlery as usual. Drinks and glasses will be available. Any raffle prizes will be gratefully received. Walk Leaders Training Course - Saturday 29th. March. Surrey Ramblers now have several venues for these courses. For 2014, there will be a course in Croydon on 29 March, If you need details or wish to attend, please contact Peter Roud on 020 8689 2622 or 07969 988493 or email [email protected]. To help organise these courses, we have set up an application form on the Surrey Area website. In addition, there are 2 courses at Wotton on 29 April and 23 September, and we, here in Farnham, are running one in late October. We are encouraging anyone who leads walks or is interested in doing so to attend the courses. Many have said how helpful and interesting the courses are.

    point your feet on a new path Box Hill, Ranmore and Denbies Distance: 12 km=7½ miles moderate walking Region: Surrey Date written: 2-jan-2017 Author: Fusszweig Date revised: 30-dec-2019 Refreshments: Last update: 18-mar-2021 Box Hill, Burford Bridge, Westhumble Map: Explorer 146 (Dorking) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. High hills, green slopes, views, village, woodland trail, vineyard trail, long climb with steps In Brief This walk was originally done to work off the Christmas excesses and it did the job magnificently. The two beauty spots that feature here seem to be so well known, but somehow the walk shows up a number of surprises, so that you may feel that you are discovering something completely new. In the tradition of walks on this site, the route takes some unusual paths, familiar to locals but less known outside the area. The last stretch includes a bridge over the Mole, followed by a very long series of steps: not for the faint-hearted! Starting on the top of Box Hill gives you a good chance for an early snack and a refresher at the end and makes sure you don’t opt out of the steepest part of the walk. But you could equally well start at Denbies Hillside (begin from section 5 ) with the idea of a lunch break on Box Hill.

  • Islington U3A Longer Walking Group
    Islington U3A Longer Walking Group Walk Guildford to Gomshall or Westhumble Walk No. 151 Area North Downs (Surrey) Type Linear Date Thursday 3rd August 2017 Distance 7 miles, 11 or 14 miles (you can choose on the day). The 11 mile option will require you to complete the last 2 miles without the leader (unless no-one wants to do the full walk), but it’s straightforward and I’ll provide a note giving directions. Timing Between 3½ and up to 7 hours walking time, depending which option you choose. So you can plan to get back to London any time from about 5.30 pm onwards. Those doing the full 14 miles should not expect to arrive home before about 7.30 pm. Meeting up Meet at Waterloo mainline station outside the main ticket office by and travel 09.30am with train ticket, to catch the 09.45 South West trains service to Guildford. Journey time is about 35 minutes. You can catch the train at Clapham Junction (09.52) if you wish. Please let me know if you plan to do so. It does not stop at Vauxhall. Best ticket option is an Off-Peak Day Return from the Zone 6 boundary station (Surbiton) to Gomshall, but make sure you get it via Guildford. The cost quoted on the website with a Senior Railcard is £6.45. There are two trains an hour back from Gomshall to London (the quicker one via Guildford, the other via Dorking). There is also a half- hourly service from Box Hill & Westhumble, which goes to Victoria (calling at Clapham Junction).

BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Realising BOA aims will contribute to UK commitments to halt biodiversity declines, and their recognition directly meets current National Planning Policy Framework policy to plan strategically for the enhancement of the natural environment; to be achieved by providing net gains for biodiversity and establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 170). Designation of BOAs also fulfils NPPF requirements to identify, map and safeguard components of wider ecological networks, and areas identified for habitat management, enhancement, restoration or creation (para.
