About this Event
The Third section will take us from the town of Dorking. From the station we will cross the river Mole on the famous stepping stones, before walking up the 275 steps to the top of the breathtaking Box Hill. The route will also feature the climb to Coley Hill with equally amazing views. This walk is also filled with history as we will pass the clearing where a US aircraft crashed on Reigate Hill and Reigate Fort.
