West End and Esher Commons Short Walk (AKA Oxshott Circular) T=Short.17
Distance: Approximately
6.2 miles or 10 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 3 out of 10
Travel: 18:03
South Western Train Guildford bound train from London Waterloo, arriving
at Oxshott at 18:38 (if you miss this train, take the next one 30 minutes later
and catch us up at the pub). Return trains run hourly on the half hour until 23:30
This is one of my favorite evening walks….just a
short train journey from London brings you to Oxshott from where you magically
step from the train platform directly into heathland….. The walk explores two
adjoining common lands, both with a fairly wild wooded feel….We will stop
midway through at the Prince of Wales pub in the pretty village of West
End Common for a quick drink and bite…
More information about the route can be found here.
Enjoy the walk!

n=6 on this w=fine-summer-evening. The group size was perfect for the booking that I had made at the pub....It was fortunate that this walk was done this week as we learned that the pub is closing this weekend for an extended period for a serious make-over.....As the trains were only hourly due to industrial action, we timed our departure carefully (and perfectly as it happened), arriving at 10:20 to easily catch the 10:30.... A fun night out!
