Day Walks

When is it? Weekdays or weekends.
Where is it? Based near Haslemere, Surrey but available throughout Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire.

The day walks are suitable for up to 10 people at a time, so suitable for groups of friends, families or perhaps as a treat for the work crew!! Take the train into the countryside and I’ll pick you up from the station or meet me on site. We will then undertake a beautiful 4 – 6 hour guided walk with a combination of good views, wildlife sightings and, of course, plenty of fresh air and exercise.

The walks can be varied according to physical requirements so don’t be put off if you feel a little unfit – just let me know and I’ll choose the route accordingly. Bring your own packed lunch or you may wish to include a pub en route where you can choose for yourself.

Whole Weekend Walks

When is it? Weekends throughout the year
Where is it? Based near Haslemere, Surrey but available throughout Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire.

These walks are again for up to 10 people and will provide the ultimate countryside break. Travel arrangements are the same as for the Day Walks but the additional day means that you can enjoy two 4 – 6 hour walks or you may wish to do just one and then visit a local beauty spot or event: keep an eye on the forthcoming newsletters for upcoming events.

Local Bed and Breakfast can be arranged for you, or you may wish to sort this yourself. The 2 day break has so many possibilities – I hope that clients’ feel free to make the event bespoke for their own requirements: just give me your ideas and I’ll suggest an itinerary!

Walks In Your Area

Sometimes the mystery of the countryside is closer to home than usual! If you have found yourself wondering around local woods or through fields behind your house and never truly felt like you have discovered the beauty of the countryside, then I will happily travel to a location of your choice and offer insights and thoughts about the surrounding countryside whilst you guide me along a favourite walk of yours.

Identify that mystery plant, that bird song you hear in the woods or sometimes the most obvious scenery needs pointing out to provide another perspective on what you thought was just the norm!

What a fantastic day, lovely birds and lovely birdsong, beautiful carpets of blue, white and yellow flowers and a bit of sheep husbandry thrown in for good measure!
JKApril Walk
Not just a bird walk at all: timber extraction, coppicing, badger setts and arable farming went alongside 21 species of bird recorded!
HNJanuary Walk
Brilliant all-round naturalist, infectious enthusiasm, effective educator and easy-going raconteur. Total environmental entertainment.
Prof. Chris FeareHaslemere
With his acute hearing, he is often able to identify a bird before it is seen – as with the crossbills that flew overhead.
MHDecember Walk
It was a joy and a relief for 25 members to hear the birds of Frillinghurst and Grayswood giving their spring songs and calls on 13th April.
Haslemere Natural History Society
We resisted Jon's invitation to sample the yellow crab apples strewn over the path – he warned that they were the sharpest he had ever tasted.
MHDecember Walk
Jon passed on words of wisdom at the start “birds are put off more by wind than rain”, “humans hear more when ears are cupped”, “a group leader is more likely to share his sweets with a quiet group!” Fruitful words: the calls/songs of 19 species were identified.
JBMay Dawn Walk
Jon's walk led from clay in the valley with mature woodland, past traditional pasture with ponds, towards sandier soils with coppiced chestnut. What a variety!
MTNovember Ramble
Great to see you last night and thanks for the pheasant prep lesson, I really enjoyed it: you are a good teacher.
CMWild Food Evening
I just wanted to thank you so much for being such a total star with xxxxxx this afternoon. Both he and xxxxxx were blown away by the whole experience, especially your bothering to talk them through it so personally. God knows if it will have any permanent effect on him, but we really, really appreciate the trouble you took.
MWTherapy Walk
It was great to learn so much from you about the birds and environment. Thank you especially for introducing me to Stonechats. I have now looked them up and was pleased to find out they were behaving exactly as they are supposed to!
JPWalk
Thank you for your patience and helpfulness all the way through the assessment process.
