6 August 2022. Eight people started (and finished) this walk, all of which is on the north side of the railway line. After a brief detour to avoid a path blocked by brambles and nettles, we joined the “Brenda Parker Way” for the whole of the rest of the walk. Read more…
30 July 2022. Thirteen people started out on this mostly flat Hampshire walk. Predictably the leader got confidently lost at the first opportunity. Following the line of pylons crossing Bartley Heath she came back on track when she spied the intended – and only – footbridge crossing the M3. Once away Read more…
23 July 2022. On this very hot day, some people did the morning only (up through Hadleigh Country Park, past Hadleigh Castle and then down to Leigh-on-Sea). Some did the afternoon only (back alongside the mudflats to Benfleet). And the author did only part of the afternoon (following fish and Read more…
5 July 2022. In our 110th birthday year, Morley Ramblers celebrated with an outing to Bletchley Park, the centre of British decoding work during the Second World War. The picture at the top of the page is of the famous Bombe machine which was used to help decode messages from Read more…

Six of us met at Sevenoaks station expecting it to be another very hot and humid day but thankfully the heat had abated a little and with a bit of rain and some sunshine along the way nothing could dampen our spirits. We started up along the narrow pavements through Read more…
Saturday 4 June. After a rather ominous weather report and still some drizzle in the air, seventeen of us set off from Oxshott station on the nine mile walk across the Elmbridge Commons to Claygate. The first climb up to the war memorial came within five minutes and thereafter we Read more…
Saturday 28 May. It was with some trepidation that I placed this walk on the programme given the last two attempts in last year’s programme when both walks were rained out by 1.00 pm. But this time, the sun, the breeze, the air, and the changing colours of The English Channel Read more…
Saturday 21 May. Eleven walkers ventured out to explore the beautiful countryside just outside Guildford. We were blessed with good weather as we made our way towards the Chantries Woods. Some years ago, I took over this walk from one of our longstanding members, Barbara, and I am still keeping Read more…
