Service was efficient and we found we had time to do the long option before dark so we walked the whole way and got back to Guildford in time for the 16:05.

Lovely walk with the group splitting into little sub-groups; 3 doing the short-cut without visiting the Percy Arms; 3 doing the long walk to go to a more favoured pub (the Percy Arms deemed to be less than friendly) with the intention of picking up the rail replacement bus service at Chilworth and the rest of us who had an atmospheric picnic lunch at "the church on the hill" listening to the Rememberance hymns filtering through the church walls. <br /><br />When we reached the Percy Arms none of us felt we really wanted a drink there - its the sort of place where someone greets you at the door to show you to your pre-booked table and there was standing room only at the bar. We pressed on to Guildford using the Downs link route(must walk all of this in the summer if possible) where 4 of us found the lovely deli on the hill just off Guildfords main drag where welcome tea and cakes were consumed. Then a slow 4pm train back to London ending a fine day out.PeteBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02135468832090264900noreply@blogger.com
