Around 7 miles of walking in the popular Surrey Hills, on a pleasant Winter's day.

Shortly after leaving the station, the walker is passing the vineyards at Denbies, and, shortly after that, crossing the River Mole. This is then followed by a fairly steep ascent of Box Hill, which is rewarded with some decent views. The walker then passes Salomons' viewpoint, and so on through Ashurst Rough.

However, instead of following the new route via Juniper Top, this walker elected to take the original route, via the valley, before steeply ascending White Hill.

Lunch is had at St Michael and All Angels, Mickleham, prior to another crossing of the A24. At this point, the walker chose to take the higher path back to Box Hill station. This repeats some of swcwalk 64, in reverse, done earlier this year.

A decent work-out for the shorter days, albeit when it's not too wet underfoot; the chalky paths might be hazardous.
