A ramble in memory of Rosemary Gibson

THE WALK: Ten miles. This is a varied walk offering fabulous views of the beautiful Surrey Hills and taking in three pretty villages: Abinger Hammer, Peaslake and Shere.  There is a mix of farmland, wild meadows and woodland with some steep sections, where walking poles will be useful.
