This is option C of the Guildford circular via Chantries walk which goes via Chantries Hill and the North Downs Way to St Martha's Church. Albury for lunch and through mixed woods to Shalford.
Length: 17.5 km (10.9 miles)
Toughness: 4 out of 10
Trains: London Waterloo 10.00, Clapham Junction 10.09, Woking 10.33, arriving Guildford 10:40
Return trains from Shalford run hourly at xx.15. Buy a return to Shalford (or Chilworth if you want an even shorter walk). The train fares for both are the same as for Guildford.
Lunch: The Drummond at Albury (01483 202 039). Best to book if you want to eat here.
Tea: Shalford has a tea room, the Snooty Fox, which closes at 4pm on Sundays. It also has two pubs, the Queen Victoria and Seahorse pubs, the former a more traditional pub and the latter a more stylish modern one.

N=9 including a couple of people not seen for a few years one of whom took a shortcut near the start and wasn't seen again. The rest took a leisurely stroll to Albury where one caught a bus back to Guildford to go to a cricket match.Four dined at the pub, three had a picnic at the monument in front of the church. The afternoon stretch was lovely with lots of blackberries for refreshment. Five finished at Shalford, two continued to Guildford. Weather was perfect w=sunny-with-a-nice-breeze.
