Challenge Walks Archive

Surrey Group has undertaken to catalogue its past challenge events. This is an ongoing project the scope of which may extend with time. We are doing this for two main reasons:-

  1. to make the route descriptions of our Challenge Walks available to all and, importantly
  2. to record them for posterity!

Where available, they are all downloadable. Use them as you will. Older members might like to take nostalgic trips down memory lane, newer members might like to see how they were written and learn a little of their history. Some may wish to try to follow them on the ground. Whatever the reason we are making them available for general interest and enjoyment. Note that older documents may have been scanned from original paper copies with a corresponding reduction in quality.

Health warning, disclaimer & copyright

Can you help?

If you have any route descriptions, results, reports or any other documents like maps & (especially) pics etc for the events listed below (particularly for the older events) we would love to hear from you! Please email me. Also email me if you have any problems downloading any of the documents.

(Those documents underlined in black I already have and am in the process of scanning. All others I'm hoping readers can help us with!!!!).
