Route starts near to the train station and entails walking along a busy road but you soon leave this for quieter roads. Walk follows North Downs Way through beech and oak woods. There is a bunkhouse at Puttenham for accommodation....

A few short sections on some very quiet country roads and a small number of busy road crossings. We walked it in June 2022 and the last section into Guildford was closed part way along the river wey. However you could cross a bridge to the main road and follow that the last few 100 metres into town...

Some of the route is very pretty (it traverses some beautiful woodland and fields), however, many of the paths were overgrown and almost impassable....

This route has lovely scenery and was easy to follow for most of the way, especially as a large section of it is along St Swithun's Way, which is clearly marked for the most part. The only trouble I had was with the various lanes I was supposed to be walking once I'd arrived in Farnham - these perhaps need to be reviewed (or maybe I'm just terrible at map-reading!)....

I enjoyed walking this route a lot; the scenery was lovely on the whole and it went through a couple of very pretty villages. The biggest downside is the length of time you have to walk along a road when going through The Sands. Also, there are quite a lot of wooded portions, which may make some lone walkers feel a bit unsafe....

The route crosses army training grounds but no army personnel were observed, and there were no signs of any closures or warnings of any regular closures. The routes heads west of Tweseldown, but many other routes across the army training grounds exist....
Graham Field
This route contains stiles, gates, kissing gates, over grown sections, flights of wooden steps cut into the slope, walking alongside dangerous roads, crossing planks and muddy sections. The route requires a detour to avoid private land. It was nice to explore somewhere new, but I would not walk this route again....

I live locally and I took this route on Wednesday 9th June 2021 using GPS.. This walk was a pleasant surprise for me. It runs close to the A31, along side a railway line, passes a quarry and appears to have a long urban stretch through Wrecclesham and Farnham. None of this matters. The parts along the river are delightful and the route picks its way through pleasant paths and green areas of Farnham.. 1) The route is fairly safe...

I live locally and I took this route on Friday 7th May 2021.. 8) The route is fairly clear but there are a couple of junctions where I would have taken the wrong direction without GPS....

This route crosses the A31 dual carriageway at a place where I expected a crossing but there is none....

A nice part of the world, this route passes through a good mix of countryside and villages whilst avoiding busy roads....

It's a very flat and direct walk and one could easily access it by following the North Down signs....
