Redhill is never the most popular of places so there were not many of us from North Cheam. Ten of us set out from Redhill viz Brian, Gillian, Godfrey, Heather, Ian, John G, Mike, Ray, Stephanie and yours truly. We went under the M23 and over the M25 and then up the first hill, Hilltop Lane, which on the OS map is shown as between 14% and 20%. Heather wanted to do some hill-training so we went down to the roundabout on the A22 and up the other side, Succombs Hill – fortunately no-one succumbed. That is marked as steeper than 20%.Through Warlingham, Heather wanted to do some off-road so we went through Kingswood along a bumpy track. On through Shirley, more hills but less than 14%. It’s quite a long way to my house, about 20 miles, so with the hills, overall it was 29,002 feet of ascent, we didn’t get there till about 2.00. I think the swim was enjoyed by all and the we had lunch of wild sea trout from the Tay, bar Stephanie whose fate was to go to her school fête. Several people took photos so hopefully they will blog-ise them.
