Despite being a bit of a drizzly day, ten jolly individuals made the ride.
After coffee and a rather yummy scone (which I later found out to be a rock cake) we set off in a south easterly direction from Redhill (steep hill) towards Nutfield. Once through Nutfield we did a left turn up to Nutfield Ridge (another steep hill) and on to Chaldon (very steep hill) and Farthing Downs.
From Farthing Downs we dropped down and crossed the A23 just north of Hooley and climbed up to Chipstead High Rd (another steep hill) and onto the White Hart for a well deserved lunch.
Total amount of climbing to that point was very nearly 3000ft accompanied, for some reason, by lots of moaning and groaning.😂
After lunch the numbers seemed to dwindle a bit (can't think why) and three of us made our way through Kingswood, Walton and onto Headley Tea Room whereupon we all tucked into a scrumptious slice of Dorset Apple Cake with clotted cream. (just what the doctor ordered).😀
I hope you all enjoyed the ride and had lots of fun on the hills.
Pete Beyer.
