(This walk was postponed from July when it did not take place due to poor weather).

Today's walk is in territory rarely if ever visited by GOC London. A large area of land is reserved for military use in northwest Surrey and north East Hampshire. Most days this is closed for military training exercises but it is generally open for walkers at weekends.

This country contains mainly well-grained heathland, with peaceful coniferous forests. Though not achieving any great altitude a number of low hills offer surprisingly far off views, including the famous Caesar's Camp. There are also several “secret” lakes. The whole area seems much more remote than it is.

Our walk starts from Farnham station in Surrey. We walk through the town centre of this handsome Surrey town of Farnham past the Old Town Hall. We then proceed uphill through Farnham Park and through a few suburban streets, to reach the military lands. We ascend to the well named Windy Gap and then climb yet further to Caesar's Camp, on the Surrey Hampshire border, where we will pause for a short rest. Although this prominence is only 180 metres above sea level, it has fine views for many miles in all directions. You would not think you were in such a densely populated part of Southeast England. Leaving Caesar’s camp we follow west along a ridge, passing a shimmering lake to our left, before turning sharply north and descending into an area with a very different feel; this is quiet forested country. We either climb Beacon Hill with a steep descent, or avoid this to proceed past a natural looking reservoir.

We then proceed north across more heathland, with the opportunity to stop at the Foresters country pub for a drink and snacks. We will eventually reach the impressive Fleet Pond on the outskirts of the town. There will be an opportunity for social drinks and food at the station at journey's end, or alternatively people can then catch a train home from the adjacent Fleet station.
