ResultsAnyone for a walk around Reigate?
by M1960
There has been some discussion recently about the lack of invites on the site, and the purpose of this post is just to highlight something that I have said previously within various threads on the forum – that I could lead a walk around Reigate.
I'm very flexible, which is why I'm not posting this as a specific invite at this stage. I'm happy to walk any distance and to go cross-country (which I guess most people would prefer) or follow roads (which is what I normally do), and, being retired, I'm available almost anywhen.
If you are interested then please suggest a date, and say how far you would like to walk and whether you prefer mud or tarmac. If necessary, I could lead more than one walk or the same walk on different days.
I won't be the slightest bit offended if there are no takers.

Sorry it’s too far for me to travel but I hope that you get some takers for your kind offer of a made to measure guided walk! 👍
GlGlyn2M1960, I do hope that you get some takers, but for me it's over 400 miles away and 7 hours continuous driving, so it's a bit far for me. So, not for me, but I do hope that you get sufficient interest as we do need more invites on the site, cheers, John.
😮 I'm absolutely amazed that people think it's not worth travelling from North Wales or Scotland for a walk in Surrey, particularly as the walking available here is obviously so much better – I could offer you the North Downs! 😂

on 25/11/23 @ 20:35If anyone wants to go off road 😮 I was thinking of perhaps starting from Earlswood Common (free car park, or street parking nearby) and including some or all of the following: Reigate Park, Reigate Heath, Colley Hill and Reigate Hill (both part of the North Downs), Gatton Park, Wray Common and Redhill Common.
The North Downs and Surrey Hills cover quite a big area, and I posted Reigate to indicate the intended location. Leading a walk around Reigate, I would be unlikely to get lost (I hope) and I could walk to the start, so I wouldn't worry about perhaps not getting there and letting anyone down. However, I know some other areas reasonably well, and I'm open to suggestions.
M1M1960As far as I can see, it's not possible to edit a forum thread (and, anyway, you obviously didn't realise that I'm trying to put people off 😂).
I just wanted to pop on and say thank you for offering. It is not a hike I'd be able to get to easily unfortunately, but I do travel a lot for work, so will keep an eye out, if I am down that way.
