General Notes

Commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the walk led by Keith Chesterton (member number 81 and one of the first chairs of the LDWA) from the north to south of Surrey. Keith originally bypassed central Woking, going through Brookwood in one day, but this time the walk is spread over two days and centred on Woking for travel convenience. LDWA membership card has a space on it for adding emergency contact details, all members are encouraged to carry this during the walk. It would be helpful to contact the walk leader to confirm if you wish to come on this walk (LDWA membership number required please). This is a joint walk for London and Surrey groups
