London - Surrey Hills - Greenwich - 2022-09-04 09:48

Very similar route to my 'London - Surrey Hills and Back' but I did not took second loop from Cranleigh but instead I went to Greenwich. 

The most difficult / challenging part is between Peaslake and Cranleigh. It is very steep, with tight and blind corners in places; some of those roads are narrow, dark, single lane roads with moss or gravel in the middle, lots of deep holes or tree roots pushing tarmac up, making dangerous bumps you can barely see if at all. So, you need to be really slow and very careful in places. Also, few stretches are lovely, wide and with good visibility, twisties meandering through more open areas. Here, you definitely can open up and go ... but bear in mind after next corner or short uphill section it can suddenly change to a single lane and go steeply down. Please remember, even if it looks deserted, there are cyclists and cars 'unexpectedly' appearing from behind the top of the hill or a blind bends. 

I guess, a lot of fun if you are mindful. I generally stop for sausage roll and coffee in Peaslake shop/café/Post Office (all in one), then in Cranleigh for good ice cream in Wild & Green Kitchen. For lunch you can stop in Coldharbour or some other place on the way. I hope you will enjoy it.
