It's our annual train-assisted spree from Guildford, and we'll be leaving from the forecourt of the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre. From there it's 19 miles to lunch at The Holly Bush Inn, Headley (the one in Hampshire, that is), which we will reach via the Devil's Punchbowl. It's then a further 15 miles via scenic Hampshire and Surrey villages and lanes back to tea at the Watts Gallery, Compton, and then another three miles (and a steep hill) back to Guildford station.
720 metres of ascent are involved altogether, so it's about averagely hilly for an "A's" ride, I reckon. It's all on tarmac (and a short length of hard-packed gravel) with the exception of the final mile or so from Shackleford to Compton, but this section can be avoided if preferred.
Just in case numbers are higher than I'm expecting, I am asking for advance lunch orders as a precaution, please - see https://www.
If you'd like to join the ride please e-mail me at cycledave23@gmail.com not later than 6.00 pm on Monday 11 Aug. If there are more than about 10 of us I'll be asking for a volunteer to lead from .gpx (it's a very easy route to follow), so please let me know if you'd be willing to sub-lead if required.
