Rambles and Ambles
I lead an ambling group for Milford U3A and so have to prepare ten short walks of between three and four miles for each year.
I also belong to the Godalming & Haslemere Group of the Ramblers and occasionally walk with them or, more frequently, with the Guildford Group, usually on one of their Wednesday walks.
In the past, I have mapped many routes using a dedicated SatNav but these days I record routes using GPS and the Ordinance Survey App on my phone.
This section is mainly for sharing routes but I have included some photos where I have taken some. I have only added a few so far but will add more.
