As it's Easter Sunday we are doing something a bit different to the
norm for once and starting Sunday’s ride in Farley Heath. The ride
will go up Winterfold Heath, Pitch Hill, Peaslake, Holmbury Hill,
Leith Hill and back.
Meet at Farley Heath Car Park, Farley Heath Road; Driving south from
Brook, go through Farley Green (GU5 9EW) leaving the common to your
left. You will find the car park about 1 km outside of Farley Green on
Farley Heath Rd to your right.
Here is my mobile if you have trouble finding it. 07770 347 765.
let’s hope the rain will have stopped by then!
