Walking the North Downs Way [part one]
Stage 1, Farnham to Guildford
(Photos/words © urban75, Saturday 12th February, 2011)

The urban75 walking club heads out of London for a wintry weekend walk.

The walk was fairly easy - around ten miles in length - and with both the start and end points being connected by rail, it's a good distance for a weekend stroll.

Here's some photos from the trip:
