St Matthew’s Redhill is organising a Walking Treasure Hunt on Saturday 30th September, along similar lines to the Weald Walkers Wander. The plan is to have a relatively easy morning session, geared towards families and children, but in which everyone can take part, ending with a pub lunch at ‘The Stepping Stones’ pub next to Boxhill and Westhumble Station. The more seasoned walkers will then have an afternoon route to follow which will be more challenging, both in terms of clues and the route itself.

The walk is 5 miles in total, 2.5 miles in the morning and 2.5 miles in the afternoon. The cost to enter is £1 per person. The maximum number of people in a team is 5. The Stepping Stones pub is serving barbecue/street food/sandwiches and there is no need to book lunch in advance, see: The Stepping Stones Pub Dorking, Box Hill & Westhumble (steppingstonesdorking.co.uk).

The start is Rykas Cafe, Box Hill at 09:45, which has plenty car parking, see: Home | Rykas.

However, there is going to be a rail strike on Saturday 30 September. There is no limit to the number of teams COPSE can enter, but we will need to know final numbers by Friday 29 September at the latest.
