Walking with SWSW
South West Surrey Walkers "SWSW" is an informal group who get together for walks twice monthly. We ask members to organise and guide walks. We do not have professional walk leaders, and each person participating in the walk is responsible for their own safety. New members are welcome but please read our information and guidelines before you join us for a walk.

Sunday 20th - around Chobham
Leader: Julie Daborne
Start: 10:00 AM
Our meeting place: Chobham Car Park (behind Chobham Rider - postcode GU24 8LZ)
Details: 5-6 miles on lesser used footpaths around Chobham. All paths are fairly level, sadly some parts might still be wet, even by May! There are quite a lot of stinging nettles, so shorts only for the brave! No dogs please - I will be taking Flo with me and we walk through sheep fields plus a few with horses in.
