There is very little to no street parking nearby. The main station car park will cost £10.50 a day whilst a short walk away is the Heathside Road car park which costs £7 a day on Saturdays

A circular loop of 12 miles starting & ending at Woking taking in a section of the Wey Navigation, & then linear of around 9 miles along the the first half of the Basingstoke Canal to Farnborough. This will complete the full length of the Basingstoke Canal for those who did John Goody’s walk a couple of years ago. Possible to cut short, leaving at Woking Station (~12 miles) or Brookwood Station (~16 miles)

General Notes
Mainly flat with a couple of minor hills at the start, mostly towpath. Bring your own picnic although there will be cafes along the way for refreshments. At a moderate pace. Bring a head torch, just in case
