Details: Dropping down into Tilford village and then following the River Wey to the west, we then double back to Hankley Common Golf Course and take the Greensand Way to Lions Mouth. After walking along the ridge which is Kettlebury Hill we drop down to Houndown Bottom before crossing the road onto the nature reserve at Thursley Common. A mix of sandy tracks, and boardwalks across the boggy bits, takes us around Pudmore Pond to The Moat, from where we re-cross the road and traverse Hankley Common back to the car park via Stockbridge Pond. Going is generally good, although with some bits of soft sand, and despite some of the names there are no serious inclines.
