There's no future in England's dreaming
It will be my state sanctioned walk tomorrow (with a little help from the car). For now it’s the view from my lodge balcony. I’m on holiday!

^^^Beautiful. Just been out on yet another bike ride, there were snowflakes in the air when I set off, 4 miles later I needed to put my sunglasses on, they stayed on for the rest of the ride, but at times there was a ferocious headwind.

Yesterday was the bike ride. Today was a six mile walk. I did think about getting on the bike again but wanted to revisit a few places I hadn't been to recently which meant climbing over stiles and up (or down) steps.
That track is more or less heading north straight into the biting wind today. It was the only time I felt a little bit chilly.

Enjoyable walk despite the freezing wind.

Not spectacular, even thought the walk was. Just too cold.

I had to go to the Doctors' Surgery today so I combined it with a quick walk
This gate has always puzzled me. It was built to commemorate someone called Sir William Jones but although it leads through to a big open space I don't think it's ever been used - the actual entrance is further along the road.

Train to Gomshall, ride over Abinger Roughs, across the A25 and up a path to Coldharbour and on to the tower, headed back and the rear wheel jumps out of its fittings and jams in the derailleur, really didn't know what to do as have not removed the back wheel before, but managed to fix it in the end, down to Holmbury St Mary, Abinger, next train from Gomshall to Guildford 80 minutes away, felt fresh so rode all the way home instead. A nice day out

Sound like a good day, except for the wheel! Now you're home, have you investigated why it may have come out?Train to Gomshall, ride over Abinger Roughs, across the A25 and up a path to Coldharbour and on to the tower, headed back and the rear wheel jumps out of its fittings and jams in the derailleur, really didn't know what to do as have not removed the back wheel before, but managed to fix it in the end, down to Holmbury St Mary, Abinger, next train from Gomshall to Guildford 80 minutes away, felt fresh so rode all the way home instead.

I've got Komoot to plot a route for me although it was a struggle - it always wants me to carry my bike up 100 steep steps to get out of my road! The amended route it's given me is about 42 miles there and back. Not sure I'm quite up to that at the moment as it also says it requires expert MTB skills!

I don't have enough mechanic skills to know why, I guess it takes a lot of stress, but I hadn't even looked at it before and it is a type of bolt I had never played with before. I have a guy coming to give it a service in 2 weeks as it will be about a month old and he can tighten everything up and that, he's going to give me some pointers on routine maintenance and that. It got me down a rough track from the top of the hill (the wheel came off 50m from the cafe!) and got me home, so guess it is OK now.
For you if you trained to Gomshall it might help, but the path from the A25 to Coldharbour is relentlessly up, there were regular bikers up there, they looked shagged out, I was nice 'n fresh

The Komoot route is coming from a different angle taking me through Box Hill and skirting around the east of Dorking but it's still suggesting there's a section that I'd probably need to get off and walk. Overall, it's suggesting I'd be climbing a little over 3,000 ft on the journey there and back. The most I've done so far is about 2,500 ft over 34 miles. I might try the suggested route as far a Box Hill and see how I get on first.I don't have enough mechanic skills to know why, I guess it takes a lot of stress, but I hadn't even looked at it before and it is a type of bolt I had never played with before.

You should have let me know you were coming — I must have pretty much walked right by you.
