West End and Esher Commons Short Walk (AKA Oxshott Circular)
Distance: Approximately 6.2 miles or 10 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 3 out of 10
Travel: 18:03 South Western train from London Waterloo, arriving at Oxshott at 18:39 (if you miss this train, take the next one 30 minutes later and catch us up at the pub). Return trains run every half hour on the hour and half hour until 23:00
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 .
I look forward to seeing everyone who comes!

Just fyi there is an 87% moon this evening, which will be in the sky during the walk so long as skies are clear
n=6, including some old familiar faces on a w=mild-dry evening. After quick formalities, we set off at a good clip across the heath where some heather still in color greeted us. We arrived at the pub with ample time to enjoy drinks and an evening meal -- some even had 2 courses! We set off about 9pm and enjoyed the light of a nearly full moon on the way back to Oxshott, arriving in time for the 10:30pm train (with 7 minutes to spare). A fun night out in good company! Group cohesion excellent!
