Day 2: Send to Wonersh

Today we make our way to St Mary's Church in Send, where we leave the Wey Navigation and head towards the North Downs. We cross the A3 and climb slowly through agricultural land. On our way to Clandon, Send Prison is in the trees to our left. After lunch, we pass Clandon House and climb through the woods to Newland's Corner, where views over Surrey stretch before us. The undulating afternoon walk takes us first to St Martha's, then skirts around Chilworth, past old gun powder works, then over Blackheath commons to St John's Seminary, a very pretty route, but easy to take a wrong turn and get lost! As the Monks are out of sight it is permissible to slip in and out of Vespers.
