What we’re about
Surrey Young Walkers (SYW) is a friendly walking and hiking group aimed at people in their 20s-40s, based in and around Surrey. We put on a range of walks, from 3-mile gentle rambles to 20-mile strenuous hikes. We have weekends away, across the UK and abroad. We also have social meet-ups, visits to local landmarks and sights as well as live music venues, pubs and other activities.
Whether you are new to walking or an experienced walker who is looking for a group to walk with, you are more than welcome to join us on any of our walks.
We'd love to see you on any of our upcoming walks - just register for a place at https://surreyyoungwalkers.org.uk

Please RSVP at our website (green button) and not here, thanks!
The "Brockenhurst to Beaulieu Circular" hike offers a scenic 20 mile adventure through the heart of the New Forest. Perfect for experienced walkers, this route takes you on a journey through picturesque woodlands, heathlands, and along quiet country lanes. Starting from the village of Brockenhurst, you'll encounter a series of peaceful paths leading towards the historic town of Beaulieu.
As you walk, you'll pass through areas rich in natural beauty, with opportunities to spot wild horses, deer, and other wildlife. The route also showcases the New Forest’s charming villages, including Beaulieu, home to the famous Beaulieu Abbey. A highlight of the route is Buckler’s Hard, a fascinating maritime village on the banks of the Beaulieu River that played a big role in the Napoleonic Wars.
The route is labeled as strenuous due to the length of the walk. Please note the earlier start time as I do expect the walk to take 8 to 9 hours. Please bring plenty of food and drink as there will be regular shorter stops to hydrate and a longer lunch stop. Optional final stop at the pub for those who wish to join as well

Please RSVP at our website (green button) and not here, thanks!
It is that time of the year where we leave winter behind and we do what all young people do and drink and party!! But fear not as surrey young walkers is hitting the pubs on this most epic adventure!!!
The plan is meet at Godalming train station at 6.30pm, walking to a pub (usually the closest to the station) where will have a drink or two. From there we will have a chance to get some food whether healthy or not before we walk along the canal to guildford as the midway pub is still closed!! There are amazing choice of pubs and bars to welcome us as we wind our way into Guildford and unfortunately the end of the walk!!
Or is it?
Who knows, the night is ours and hopefully you can all join us on this very social walk!!
Now for the important bit! As a group we do not promote drink driving, so it is recommended that you get a train or taxi to godalming and back from guildford!
