Please remember, the walk posters are unpaid volunteers. They do their best to arrange with each other a wide mix of walks. Most of them like feedback, suggestions, and to be appreciated (= buy them a drink once in a while).
If you'd like a particular walk posted, you could reach out to you favourite walk poster, or ask for a "Blogger" invite so you can post it yourself (say, if you want to post a regular early-and-long or short-and-late walk).
Or, leave your request in a comment below.

hi there -
I woiuld like to suggest the Henley CW1 on Sat 18 as well...
I am happy to download and follow up - but not sure of the protocol re: posting it up.
Thanks!
Gaurav
Walk-posting requires a lot of effort on the part of our walk-posters for which we are all really grateful. However, Walker’s innovation of allowing us to choose our own walks on a first come basis seems to work well and be popular. Perhaps it should continue as a feature as many walkers feel that the Walk Requests are simply ignored. It would also avoid snidey comments in the walk reports when people have the audacity not to turn up on a posted walk.
Calling something a success after just one day, and a sunny day at it? Wow!
Long may it last, the enthusiasm of independent walk posters, the club needs them, including on rainy, foggy and windy days. Too soon to judge, I'd say...
And walk requests get ignored, do they? I'd absolutely love to see the spreadsheet analysis that lead to that broad brush statement. Just send it to the SWC email address (you've have to create a new anonymous email address for yourself first, of course). The only requests posted in this part of the forum that have a high chance of not getting acted on are the ones for walks that have just had an outing, or the unseasonal ones (ie very long ones in winter, very short ones in summer).
Other than that I can only repeat what I said a couple of evenings ago to the members of the WhatsApp Walking Club that are here on the Brecon trip: man up and talk to the people you have a problem with.
@anon- Sunday 19 July 12.54hr. I concur with you to permit other walkers to post a walk while some of the official posters are not posting ( because of new SWC/ Government guidance & personal reasons) at the moment.
Request for Balcombe circular - yes the one that took place yesterday- for sometime this Autumn say Sept & at the weekend so people who missed Wednesday's outing can go please? Thanks
September? That's summer!
Well October then..Before B summertime ends?
Hi. Tisbury and Flitwick on August Saturdays, please. Thank you.
May I suggest the Chelsea to Battersea Park walk one evening to coincide with the free music performances at the bandstand. Note that you need to book a free ticket to attend the performances.
https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/news/august-2020/bandstand-chamber-festival-comes-to-battersea-park/
As for the Tisbury request: as you can see this Saturday again, SWR is still running a Covid-schedule, meaning 20 mins extra wait in Salisbury and a two-hourly service on the return. As per their website, this is supposedly running to 4 Sep at least... [oh, and of course they are only updating the actual Saturday times to the Covid-schedule during the week itself, so train times shown for weeks ahead are unreliable]
If it's not too late can I request a Sussex coast walk for Sat 5th Sept please, such as:
129 Berwick to Birling Gap
181 Lewes to Seaford
316 Winchelsea to Hastings
Can I change my last request to Sat 24/Sun 25 and or Weds 28 Oct please?
Moreton in Marsh via Longborough one Saturday soon as the days are getting shorter. Many thanks.
Holmwood to Shamley Green please on a Saturday as we can’t get through the Barrier at Victoria early enough to do this walk during the week and the days are drawing in. Thanks
If a third walk has not yet been chosen for Saturday next (19th), please would one of the walk posters consider Yalding to Sutton Valence. If it's not feasible for this Saturday, perhaps soon?
I would like to request some local walks for this weekend (26-27 Sep)
Hi. Request for a Saturday in October, please. Harrietsham to Yalding (reversing a favourite). Lateish lunch option at The Bull, Linton. Thank you.
Any Flitwick walk on a Saturday, please. Cheers.
The Merstham to Tattenham Corner in the next two weeks.
Any Hastings area walk for a Saturday between now and Christmas, please. Thank you.
What about a fairly local walk in Surrey on November 4th.eg Merstham to tattenham
Any Flitwick walk in the next few weeks, please. Thanks.
Merstham to Tattenham Corner, please, on a December Saturday, please, or a December Wednesday after the 16th. Thank you.
GPS files- I am having trouble downloading walk options e.g on the Wendover Circular. They don't appear when I upload the route to Viewranger. I am using a MACBook and iPhone. Do I need to change a setting somewhere?javascript:void(0)
I know that Kent is leper territory at the moment (and probably will be for some time) but how about a walk in Sussex? Over the downs from Lewes, perhaps, to Saltdene or Rottingdean?
Is it possible to have a walk that is only downhill? 😊
A friend was bemoaning having to climb hills on the walks and we mused if it was possible to write a walk which was only downhill.
Any of the walk-authors up to the challenge?
If hopes of resuming walks by the end of March come to pass, can I ask for one or more South Downs walks on: Weds 14th/Sat 17th/Sun 18th April please? Cheers
As the Walking Club Resumes. Why not plan Kelvedon, Hastings to Rye, Walton on Naze to ether Clacton-on-sea or Jaywick if Walking along. While taking the Bus to Clacton-on-sea on the way back, Sudbury, Canvey Island, Southend on Sea, Battle or Eastbourne to Seaford?
For God's sake, someone please post a walk and give us something to look forward to!
What about a Coastal Walk around Southsea/Portsmouth way?
There are walks over the Easter Holidays (and midweek) on https://www.lwug.co.uk which some SWC folks have booked to go on should this be of interest.
Lidlington to Flitwick, please. Any Saturday in the next few months. Thank you.
Having missed Marcus's recent Chess valley walk , can you maybe do a repeat on a weekend please 🙏,late start if poss.thanks
Hello everyone!
It is 20 years since Nicholas Albery died in a car accident on 3 June 2001.
I am his widow and will go on the Wendover walk this Saturday. If you knew Nicholas, do join us. It would be a pleasure to meet up after many years.
Just to say that I shall be going on the Milford to Haslemere walk on Sunday in memory of Nicholas Albery author of the TimeOut Book of Country Walks Book 1.
I was going to go on Saturday on the Wendover to Great Missenden walk, but changed to the Haslemere one. I have not been on any of these walks for ages, so it will be an adventure! I hope I am fit enough, or else I will have to take a shortcut...
If you are going, I will see you there!
It would be good to do a seaside walk on a weekday before the schools break up for the summer, when hopefully trains to the coast won't be too busy. Maybe there will even be some advance tickets available.
Lidlington to Flitwick on a July or August Saturday, please. Thank you.
Chess valley or Epping Forest please, thanks
Some South Downs walks on the next few Saturdays, please, to get the most out of the still longish days. Thank you.
Just in case anyone is interested ...

Lucky we left the EU then!
Request for near London walk on the 23rd of December, please. Thank you.
If you are posting a walk which passes the Watts Gallery, they have an exhibition titled "Pre-Raphaelite Treasures: Drawings and Watercolours from the Ashmolean Museum" from 8 March - 12 June
https://www.wattsgallery.org.uk/whats-on/pre-raphaelite-treasures-drawings-and-watercolours/
A walk north of London (from St Pancras or Kings X?) on Easter Saturday would be great.
A suggestion.. please can we have some short walks posted again ? there was an extensive discussion bout a year or eighteen months ago on this very topic? but I've noticed recently that mileage is pretty much high and not all of us can manage..seems a shame people have to opt out of walking altogether 😥🚶♂️🚶♀️
Polite request🙏..thank you.
Lewes Circular via Glynde/Southease on a May/June Saturday in May/June 2022, please. Thank you.
Any Platinum Jubilee walks being planned? Ramblers groups have nothing.
Can we have a late start Bures walk with short options possibly later in summer please?
Warlingham Circular on a Sunday (or Sundays?) before the 25th Sept to take advantage of the tea and cake being served at Mary's Church in Farleigh . It is open every Sunday afternoon from 2:30pm to 5:00pm in Farleigh Hall which is behind the Church.
Last year Haslemere orbital worked well in the heat wave. I remember it as mainly shady and cool.
Hi Sandy,
For 10 May, in bygone years , Book 1 Walk 42 - Holmwood to Gomshall via Leith Hill Rhododendron Wood has worked well: it captures the last of the year's bluebells at their best plus colourful azaleas and rhodos in the Leith Hill wood. Lunch at the Wotton Hatch in Wotton.
Thanks Marcus, I’d normally do that walk or similar myself before heading north - good idea to post it then
Do you organise short evening walks in the Summer still?
Yes. 99% of all weeks have an evening walk. Coming week, both regular posters are in Scotland, so maybe not. Check again on Tuesday, I recommend.
Some late starting seaside walks would be great 👍 thanks
Hi all,
It is not my week to post, but the Rising Sun at Cotman's Ash on the North Downs above Kemsing has a cider festival on the 29th July (29 different ciders !). It seems to start at about 13:00. It's a quirky old pub that usually does not serve food, but the landlady is happy for walkers to have their picnic in the garden with a drink from the pub. This Saturday they will have hog roast from 17:00 onwards. If nobody objects I will post an additional walk from Borough Green to Otford following the North Downs Way and stopping at the pub for some cider sampling.

Hi Sandy
For Wednesday 14 February 2024 (Ash Wednesday) might I suggest SWC 353 - Knebworth Circular (anticlockwise) for - hopefully - some lovely snowdrop displays.
.....and hello again, Sandy
For 28 February you might like to consider SWC 90 - Berwick to Seaford, using the alternative start (to Berwick Church). I used to post this walk early in March most years in order to enjoy the sight of new born lambs being released in the fields below Seaford Head. Fine views also from High & Over Hill. One of my favourite walks in the entire SWC repertoire - and this is the best time of year to do it !
Can I draw your attention (again) to the Bedford/Bletchley line which is offering some promotional fares when it resumes fully on Monday 19th. For example St Pancras to Ridgmont return is £18.65 with a rail card, whereas if you buy separate tickets to and from Bedford it is only £13.20. If anyone is considering posting any walks on this line, I'd greatly appreciate it if they could let me know. I'm aware that I've been annoying some posters by banging on about this line recently. Please bear in mind that I've been largely inactive in recent months owing to an injury which requires an operation. Anyone who has been on an NHS waiting list, at least in my part of the world, will know that it's an inhumane process and nobody comes off these lists unscathed. All I'm saying is, let's all remember before we sound off that you don't always know what's going on in the other person's life. Do as I say, not as I do!
Is there any chance of an East Sussex walk on Sat 2nd or Sun 3rd or Weds 6th March please? The Seaford walk proposed by Marcus would be ideal if it's not already organised.
Walk 37 - Southbourne to Chichester please (on a Saturday)
Debra
Princes Risborough Saturday 13th July to take advantage of the railway signal box open day https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/princes-risborough-railway-signal-box-open-day-2-71045/#:~:text=Open%20days%20only%20happen%20a,July%20between%2010am%20and%204pm.
Can I draw posters attention to my new South Downs walk, Southease Circular (Walk 423)? If anyone is thinking of posting this, would they contact me please: powell_michaelc@sky.com ? Here are some dates which I could do:
July: Sun 21st, Sat 27th, Sun 28th
August: Sat 24th, Sun 25th, Mon 26th (BH), Weds 28th
September: Sun 22nd, Weds 25th, Sat 28th, Sun 29th
Can I ask for an East Sussex walk over the August bank holiday weekend please? This could be my comeback walk, 4.5 months post surgery! Anything South of Gatwick would do, or I can make suggestions. Thanks.

Marc requested Kelvedon Circular for the weekend of 21/9/24. I had a prior request for another walk on that day but perhaps other walk posters could consider posting it over the next few weeks?
