Group Walks

Its now about 10 years since I led my first group walk. They started as training walks for pilgrimages but have since become a regular local walk I run most months (with a bit of a gap in the winter). There are lots of reasons to walk: a chance to look at our lovely Surrey Countryside, a great way to get to know new people and catch up with old friends and, of course there are health benefits both physical and mental. If you need more information just contact me on monica@monicadyer.net but here are a few questions that everyone asks:

How long are the walks?

Most of the regular walks are between 4 and 6 miles. At least once a year we will have an ‘away day’ and this may be longer.

Do I need to be very fit?

No. But you do need to be able to walk steadily for 5 miles. If you would like to join us and you feel you can’t manage this just let me know and we will work something out.

Do I need any special equipment?

The most important thing is what you have on your feet. A good pair of walking boots or shoes is best. Even in the Summer mud and stony ground can make walking in trainers difficult and uncomfortable. I would also advise you have a backpack, water bottle and lightweight waterproof jacket.

How do I get to the start of the walk?

All walks are easily reachable by car. But, if you don’t drive, or would prefer not to, just let me know and I will arrange for a lift.

Can I bring my dog?

A definite yes. We all like having dogs with us. But you will need to be prepared to put it on a lead near roads and livestock.

I’m always very happy to have guest walk leaders. This will be led by my good friend, Ken Shepherd. The walk explores the Dorking Deepdene trail - the site of an old estate with lots of history, elegant gardens and romantic follies. Quite hilly with one steep hill with 200 small steps.

We will meet at Dorking Golf Club visitors car park. Directions: A25 to the large Dorking roundabout, turn left A24 for a little less than a mile, On the left there is a small lane ( with a small notice saying Dorking Golf Club. Drive up here 200 yds & go straight on to the visitors Car Park.
