Elstead walk on 7th January 2026

Our first group walk of the year assembled at the Moat Pond Car Park on Elstead Common for a 5 mile walk led by Jay and Lindsay.  Because the terrain was flat and we made faster progress than normal, Jay added a detour at the end to make it 5.5 miles.  The cloudless blue skies and sunshine had not been able to overcome the recent frosts so there were plenty of puddles to crunch the ice on and even a few ponds for the bravest amongst us to walk on.  We walked alongside Pudmore Pond on the Elstead Common heath, through woodland up to Guinea Common where we turned east through more woodland and a pond crossing Royal Common reaching Bagmoor common.  A perfectly placed felled tree trunk provided a suitable perch for our coffee break.  Our rapid pace past Borough Farm and onto Okley Common allowed Jay to include the boardwalk on Thursley Common around Pudmore Pond.  Returning to the car park, we changed and drove to The Three Horseshoes at Thursley for a delicious lunch.
