North Downs

Today, I made use of the westerly tail wind and headed East along the North Downs. It was a bright day, but cold when the sun went in behind the scudding clouds. The ride, map here, takes in some great view points - Newlands Corner, Denbies Hillside, Box Hill, Colleys Hill and Reigate Hill - and bluebells were out in force. There is no danger of starving on this ride, there are café's of various sorts at regular intervals. I returned to Guildford by train from Reigate station.
