From Gomshall Station we walk via Peaslake up to the tree, where the plaque will be ceremonially dug into the ground, then continue up to Pitch Hill to admire the view from the Surrey Group topograph. We then follow the Greensand Way to Shamley Green before continuing along the Wey South Path into Guildford. There are several shorter options: (a) 5 miles, return self-guided from Pitch Hill to Peaslake for bus to Guildford; (b) 7.5 miles, return self-guided from Pitch Hill to Gomshall; (c) 7.5 miles, bus from Shamley Green to Guildford

Out and About
This is from my recent holiday in Bulgaria, a pleasant walk up from a remote village to the point where Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Serbia meet. A walk around the marker involves a time zone change as well as crossing 2 international borders.
