Today I along with other members of my family including my 3 year old grandaughter went on a walk at Wisley and Ockham Common. The walk from the car park to the semaphore tower, is along a nicely laid out path and so despite its uphill gradient it is a relatively easy walk for all abilities and for all ages. The common is managed by Surrey Wildlife Trust on behalf of Surrey County Council and in the summer months on certain days the Semaphore tower is open to the public (you do need to be fit in order to go up the tower as it is FIVE storeys high). However today is Boxing Day in the year 2014 and as in previous years over the Christmas period the Surrey Wildlife Trust has decorated a Christmas Tree about 3/4 of the way up from the car park to the tower. This tree is known as the memory tree for dog walkers and each year dog owners can leave a decoration in memory of a past dog and complete a book of memories. There is usually also some doggy treats in the box nearby for current dogs as well as a donation box for that years Christmas animal charity This year its Hydestile Wildlife Hospital
