This is a special walk to dig in the plaque beside the London Group Memorial Tree for departed members, planted near Pitch Hill in 2020. 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

General Notes
The walk will be at a fairly gentle pace. Take a picnic lunch, but there will be a short pub stop at Shamley Green. Email leader Colin Saunders to say you intend to go. Any issues on the day, phone 07768 453159
