If you want to join
us only at lunchtime and then, at the end, be
ferried back to the lunch stop please phone the
walk's organiser in advance, both to find out
roughly when we will arrive at the lunch stop and
also so that we know that we need to look out for
you when we get there! Allowing for stops and
a pub or picnic lunch (your choice), walks are
intended to finish by 4 p.m. If you need
a lift to the walk's start, usually from St Nicholas
car park in Guildford, telephone the organiser,
again at least by the day before the walk and he or
she will try to arrange one. Remember that you
can walk with us up to three times before deciding
whether or not to join.
