Warning: pub closures!
The walks described in these pages were devised between 2007 and 2010. Sadly, many of the pubs mentioned have since closed.

Route descriptions
I have devised some walks to visit the Marilyns and HuMPs lying to the south of London. Generally, I have only given an enough information to allow the walk to be traced on the 1:25 000 OS map - experienced walkers won't need anything more. In a few instances, I have also produced a fuller route description, simply as an exercise in writing such descriptions.
Statistics are taken from a plot of the route using Anquet 1:50 000 digital mapping. As a consequence, the maximum height quoted may be a few metres different from the nominal height quoted in the lists of Marilyns and HuMPs given elsewhere on this site.
