This year's walk, as last year, was in two stages:  1 - 10 miles from Dorking Hospital to Newlands Corner

and then 2 miles from Newlands Corner to the Guildford Spike.

Starting out; 20 including Ellie the dog (bitch) gathered at the portico of the old Dorking Workhouse to walk the 12 miles to the Guildford Spike.

Straggling out of Dorking ..............

....... and into the countryside

Bluebells were promised and there were carpets of them outside Dorking offering a mass of colour.

After the long haul up the side of the downs it was time to regroup before pushing on for Newlands corner.

A time for father to have a long talk with son.  One of the pleasures of walking.

The first 10 miles undertaken it was time to stop for a picnic and meet up with those walking stage 2.  The group size increased to 31 (including 4 dogs) for the stretch to the Spike.

A quick break on Merrow Downs waiting for the stragglers to catch up.

Charlotteville Jubilee Trust do believe that fund raising should be fun and arrival at the Spike was celebrated with sparkling pink wine

IN the end the marquee wasn't needed the weather was perfect all day but ..............................
