Updates (at Feb 2025) to the winter walks in the first edition of 'Walks for Each Season: 26 great days out in the countryside near London' Julia Smith. All these updates are in the 2nd edition (published Feb 2025). For each walk below, I've listed the more significant changes rather than all the small ones.
Walk 21: Faversham Circular
No 7. Housing estates have replaced the industrial estates
mentioned here.
No 10. The remains of the old jetty are now more accurately
described as a sunken crumbling jetty.
Walk 22: Falmer to Brighton
No 5. It’s a 3 armed footpath post not 4 armed.
Walk 23: Cookham Circular
No 6. After you descend the stairs you go through a gate – not a kissing gate.
No 7 & 11. The four armed footpath post is in fact a
three armed footpath post.
Walk 24: Harlington Circular
No 14. Replace with ‘In around 300m you arrive at a
footpath post where the path divides. Take the right fork. The path soon
divides again at field gates. Take the left fork sign posted Chilterns Way. ‘
No 19. Replace with this clearer instruction ‘At the left
end of the promontory follow the path round to the right and in a few meters
turn left down steep steps.’
No 21. The National Trust for Moleskin and Markham Hills
seems to have disappeared.
No 25 It’s actually ‘Halfway
along the field’ rather the end of the field. At the end of this direction you
don’t ignore the footpath turning on the right – referred to in the next point.
No 26. Replace with ‘At the next footpath sign, turn right
through the hedge and then left to walk uphill to the road.
Walk 25: Coulsdon South Circular – still all ok
Walk 26: Box Hill Circular
No 1. Pilgrim Cycles seems to have closed. Walk up the stairs
on the left (not the stairs to the footbridge over the railway line).
No 5. Replace second sentence with ‘You shortly join a lane,
continue downhill. When the lane bends sharply left, continue straight ahead on
the footpath (between hedges) downhill.
No 7. The first footpath post has disappeared, so turn right up the steps at the footpath sign up to the pub.
