Another quiet Surrey ride

Before Dave's blog (Tuesday March 31 ?) I enjoyed another quiet Surrey ride. Leaving route N22 at Westcott I climbed Logmore Lane - still barely rideable in places but well worth the effort for the views. It is being closed 1-9 April for waterworks.
Looking north from Logmore Lane (left of tree Ranmore, right of tree Boxhill)




Notice warns of toads crossing roads - don't they read the Highway Toad ?
Passing through Coldharbour I saw this notice. Forking left onto Broome Hall Road I enjoyed the freewheel past Broome Hall - a rather large, imposing building, well back from the road. The Canadian Army headquarters were here during the second World War. One of the subsequent owners was actor Oliver Reed. Apparently he was banned from the local pub for an uncensored act one Christmas.

Soon I briefly joined the A29 before turning off to Capel, Newdigate and North Holmwood before turning right into Punchbowl Lane and a view of fields of almost ripe oilseed rape. Crossing the A25 then shortly the A24 was accomplished effortlessly.

Another wonderful ride in ideal conditions.

Keep well.

Terry

Looks a beautiful ride Terry. You are so lucky having the Surrey Hills on your doorstep.
