Sponsored 10K Charity Walk : Sunday 9th May 2010 Near 300 entrants raised some £25,000 for good causes. On an unseasonal cold morning entrants gathered in Shalford Park at 9.45am for Club President Bill White to set everyone off with best wishes. Entrants collected as individuals, groups, clubs, schools, major charities, all raising money for good causes. All registered at the Marshall's tent on arrival and later to verify all returned safely to Shalford Park. The 10k trail displays Surrey's finest country side. It follows the river Wey out of Guildford to Shalford, then meandered cross country to join the Downs Link, to traverse Wonersh Common, outskirting Blackheath, travelling up to St. Martha's Hill, and returns to Shalford Park along the North Downs Way. The route map can be viewed on this web site and downloaded to your own PC (see link below). Ordnance Survey , Explorer 145, Guildford and Farnham details this section of the North Downs Way. Along the route, the Rotary Club of Guildford District members, families and friends organised three checkpoints, Lower Chintchurst, Blackheath and at St Martha's. Cards were stamped and free liquid refreshment for entrants and their dogs. Toilet, free car parking and refreshment facilities were available in Shalford Park. Each entrant nominated the charity of their own choice and became individually responsible for collecting their sponsorship money and forwarding it to that charity. Near £25,000 was pledged and we thank both the 300 walkers taking part for their community spirit and their supporters for their generosity in such difficult times. Our thanks to the Surrey Advertiser for their continued support. As a guide for those wishing to enjoy the route of this trail it generally takes less than 4 hours. Stout foot wear is required as rain can leave lower sections muddy. The tracks are not suitable for wheel chairs or baby buggies. Click on adjacent public footpath sign to view the route map.
