Walk details

A leisurely circular walk that starts from Egham train station (outside the Main Entrance, platform 1 side.) We start the walk by walking towards Runnymede. We continue on to the Thames Path with its pretty array of boats. We shall pass the willow sculptures (which are relatively new to the area), the Jurors (the chairs), and we will also visit the JFK memorial, the Magna Carta memorial and pop into the Writ of Water before heading back to the station via Cooper’s Hill. Possible pub stop at the end.

Notes

If you or someone else from your household has COVID-19 symptoms, please do not attend.

It might be muddy – please wear suitable footwear.
Please feel free to contact the leader with queries about the walk, or if you are delayed on the day.

Booking onto a walk

Most walks do not require advance booking, and you can just turn up on the day. We encourage those comfortable with Meetup to indicate there that you plan to come though, so that others can see there will be plenty of people there – this really helps to encourage new members to come along.
For the few which still have limited numbers, this is handled via Meetup. Follow the link to a walk’s Meetup page (or press 🎟 Register / 🎟 Tickets / 🎟), and mark yourself as attending.
Social and other events may have their own booking system – please see the event description.

Pace Guide

Gentle: led at a gentle pace with regular short breaks for water or rest. Should be suitable for anyone capable of the distance. (Expect 2–2.5 mph.)
Medium: led at an intermediate pace with fewer breaks but still suitable for most walkers. (Expect 2.5–3 mph.)
Fast: led at a quick pace with minimal breaks. May be a challenge for those with less fitness. (Expect 3 mph+.)

Speeds quoted are only a rough guide, including time spent on short water/rest stops and negotiating stiles/gates/roads etc. but not that spent on longer lunch or pub stops.
