New Year's Day walk

It started as an offer to Guiding volunteers but then my (non-Guiding) sister mentioned walking on New Year's Day - and then thought her brother in law and his family might be interested and then my daughter and her boyfriend came along so the Guiding friends (Madeleine and Jane) were rather outnumbered.
15 of us enjoyed a walk from Waverley Abbey along the Greensand Way north-west past Moor Park then North East along the North Downs Way through the nature reserve to Sands where we stopped at the Barley Mow for an all day breakfast. We ended with a walk up Crooksbury Hill to benefit from a fabulous view. It wasn't a long walk (4 miles probably) but very interesting. I hadn't realised that the gun emplacements etc were there because Moor Park was important in the war. All in all a good walk and it didn't rain.
Next we are thinking of walking round Frensham between the two lakes. Same pattern probably - stop at a dog-friendly pub some of the way round. Why not join us?
