Guildford to Gomshall - 25th May 2014

This was the second section of the North Downs way that I walked. I had been intending to walk to Westhumble, but got a little bit lost in Guildford, so left the trail near Gomshall instead. The walk was still 11 and a half miles in total, taking me about 5 and a half hours, including a few breaks to admire the scenery. Photos!:

Hampstead Heath - 26th April 2014

I went for a wander around Hampstead Heath a week ago on Sunday. The walk was 9 miles altogether, including walking to and from my flat. About 6 miles was around Hampstead Heath itself. Photos:
