The Fox Way Walk Link 7: Warplesdon to Ripley Village

June 26, 2017 @ 1:13 pm

The Fox Way Walk is a 39-mile circular walk which takes in the lovely countryside around Guildford and can be completed in 7 key stages (links). Fresh Air Outdoor training have arranged to complete a different ‘link’ of this walk on the first Sunday of each month – it’s a great way to explore the great Surrey countryside in a friendly group!

 

Link 7: Warplesdon to Ripley Village (returning by taxi)

** WE WILL BE WALKING TO RIPLEY AND RETURNING BY CAR/TAXI TO WARPLESDON**
We intend to start the walk at Warplesdon Station and finish at Ripley Village Green, allowing roughly 3 hours to complete the walk, aiming to be finished by 12.00 noon. We will aim to pre-order taxis to save some time.
