After lunch we walk 3.5 miles to Kenley station. At the very start of the walk there is a relatively steep, but short, descent on a made-up path followed by a longer but gentler ascent that shouldn’t be too much of a challenge. Mostly off-road. There is an hourly bus service from The Harrow to Upper Warlingham station. At the half-way point of the afternoon walk there is a frequent bus service to Sanderstead Station and onwards to Croydon (Fairfield Halls for EC station).
