Walking for health.

The Fairlands Walk Group meets at the Farmhouse Café at Rokers, GU3 3PB every Wednesday morning at 9.45am for both an hour walk and a 30-minute walk, starting at 10am. Walk across the Merrist Wood campus, or towards Perry Hill and back. These are easy, flattish walks and there is optional coffee afterwards at the Farmhouse Café.

The Whitmoor Walk Group meets on Friday mornings at the Jolly Farmer car park on Burdenshott Road, GU3 3RN at 10.45am for an 11am start, for both an hour walk and a 30 minute easy and flattish walk across Whitmoor Common, exploring the pond, streams, woodland and heath.
