    Many of the tracks on these commons are well surfaced and remain walkable even after a period of rain. This is not true of all the paths, however. Some can become all but impassable. This walk is an attempt to 'stitch together' a sequence of paths that remain relatively dry.
    It was tested in December 2021 after a night of heavy rain. There were large puddles in places but these could be skirted. In one location, water was flowing across the path but this was very shallow and did not come over the soles of our boots.
    The walk starts at the green in Elstead where the 46 bus stops. This serves Guildford, Farncombe, Godalming and Farnham (all of which have rail stations) with an approximately hourly service, Monday to Saturday. There is no Sunday service. If you are arriving by car, parking in the centre of the village is limited so you may find it easier to park in one of the roads that form the first half-mile or so of the walk.
    At the south side of the commons, the walk visits the ponds that were created to support the iron industry that operated here in the 17th and 18th centuries.
    On returning to Elstead, there is a general store, two cafes, a couple of pubs and a fish and chip shop for refreshment.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
