The hillside path is always interesting either from the views afforded looking south or the flowers and butterflies to be seen.

Among some butterflies seen in a different area on the way to Crabtree cottages I saw a Silver-washed Fritillary

There are two large fallen trees across the path after leaving Woodcote lodge. I have reported these to Surrey County Council. The vegetation on this path has also in part developed a growth spurt.

After leaving the Tillingbourne Brewery and walking through the woods to the Fox way on reaching the field, beware the holes near to the path are covered by grass and some of the cereal crop.

The footpath running down the side of the access road to the golf club was being cleared of the undergrowth and the path not taken on this walk from West Clandon church had been cleared. otherwise stinging nettles along this path would have been chest height.
