Time Out Country Walks near London Volume 1

Walk 27 : Milford to Haslemere

Updates and Feedback

Summary	No major changes.

Updates	No Major Updates. This is a lovely walk, with remote heathland with some pretty lakes in the morning, and Devil's Punchbowl in the afternoon. Good in high summer, as there're lots of trees for shade. By late summer : The vegitation at the start is quite high (but you can get away without long trousers), the woods are full with bracken, and the heathland a carpet of purple heather. The heathland seems to have changed (route needs walk checking), but keep heading vaguely south west (230°), and you'll be fine. The lunchtime pub in Thursley is now a gastropub with a large beer garden. Gastropub prices but service and food were excellent. There is an NT Cafe in Thursley, on the rim of the Punchbowl. The downloads sections has 2 alternative routes for this point. The pub by Haselmere station has had a facelift (terrace and garden), and is now a good alternative to tea in the town centre on this walk. By car : Milford Station has a free car park, its 2 stops down the line from Haselmere.

	red				The [!] bit on page 209, line 9 should say 'left-hand side of the tarmac path' not right-hand side.
	blue	Jun-02	208	col 2, para 4	There are new shops on the right including a farm shop on the right which may be useful to buy a belated picnic. There are also toilets nearby.
	blue	Jun-02	209	col 1, last para	As you leave the nature reserve over the earth bank there is a notice facing backwards that prohibits troops from going beyond that point.
	blue		211	col 1, 2nd to last para	The bridleway that you pass down to the left goes backwards.
	blue	Jun-02	211	col 1, last para	At point 8 the wooden waymark has gone and there are new gates. So go through a wooden field gate and ignore the second such gate ahead, to take a kissing gate to the left beside a third wooden field gate, downhill.
	blue	Jul-01	211	col 2	Line 32; the small stump is only very faintly marked with '3' and the arrow, and tends to become obscured by bracken. so watch out for the steep upward path on your right at this point.
	blue	Jul-01	212	col 1	Line 6; this footpath may not be signposted and the one to the left of it IS prominently signposted, so the direction 160 degrees is important.
	blue		212	col 2	Line 1; Just before you come out onto Farnham Lane you now go through a kissing gate.
