7 mile walk from Theydon Bois to Loughton via High Beach. 15 places (must be booked in advance) Members only Saturday Aug 8, 1 pm - 2 pmCLANDON & THE DOWNSDear Cloggies, This is a 7.5 mile circular walk, for a limited number of people (to be determined, in the light of Jim’s recent email). Please look out for a further email confirming the number and with the Jotform link. From Clandon station (actually situated in the village of West Clandon, near Guildford), we start across the golf course to East Clandon, then head south were you can enjoy the thrill of walking along part of the 2012 Olympic Cycle Road Race course, as we ascend Clandon Downs. A shady stretch of the North Downs Way takes us to Newlands Corner for the views and a lunch stop. We then descend Merrow Downs, bringing us to the magnificent gilded gates that used to be the main entrance to Clandon Park house, which we pass by later, under its plastic ‘cocoon’ while it awaits rebuilding following the disasterous fire of 2015. It’s then back to the station. Please bring a packed lunch and be prepared for thick undergrowth, ferns etc. Travel details (from Waterloo) to be sent to successful candidates. Sunday Aug 9Berwick (Sussex) to Southease, 11th August, 8-9 milesOn Tuesday 11th August I am leading a walk of 8-9 miles from Berwick (Sussex) to Southease, mainly on the Vanguard Way and South Downs Way. It will be on downland and on the ridge of the South Downs Way and will involve a steep climb up and a steep climb down. This is a socially distanced walk, with 5 places available (+ me). Please email me if interested (see email sent to members) Katharine Locke Tuesday Aug 11 Beat the Heat Cycle rideAs it is going to be stupidly hot for the next few days, I am planning an easy cycle ride by rivers (Pool, Ravensbourne, Thames) parks and marshes.

Effingham Junction to Dorking walk - SurreyI will be leading a socially distanced linear walk of approx. 11 miles from Effingham Junction to Dorking in the beautiful North Downs scenery. This route passes through woodland, farmland, several commons and offers various panoramic views. The morning section starts on a fairly flat terrain across Effingham common, through Great Ridings Woodland and crosses a golf course (watch out for flying balls!!) before arriving at the Polesden Lacey estate. Here we will stop for lunch only at the self-service Granary café (variety of hot and cold dishes, drinks) or bring a picnic lunch. The house is currently closed and a visit to the gardens requires pre-booking. The afternoon is slightly hillier with good views back to the house after climbing the first hill. After Ranmore Common, there are fine views from the North Downs Way of Dorking before the walk descends through Denbies Vineyard into Dorking. Drop out option at Westhumble & Boxhill after 9 miles. Travel arrangements: Meet at 10.45 at Effingham Junction station. Buy a return to Effingham Junction and then you need to get a single from Box Hill & West Humble station/Dorking to Leatherhead (one stop) for the return journey. Take the SWR Train at 10.03am from London Waterloo (Destination Guildford), calling at Clapham Junction (10.11am) and Wimbledon (10.19 am). Return trains are twice hourly to London Waterloo or Victoria.
