A flat easy walk, at an easy pace, from Woking to Brookwood. The towpath may be muddy –poles will be useful if there has been recent rain. There is some road walking in Woking Town Centre and Brookwood. Parking in Woking is difficult and expensive so we begin in Chertsey with a bus journey of ½ hour to Woking.

Parking/transport: Park in Staines Lane, Chertsey KT16 8PS (free on-road parking) at ± 09:45 to catch the 446 bus at 10:10. Allow ± 5 mins walk to the bus stop at Colonel’s Lane, by Abbeyfields.
