WHAT'S THE AREA LIKE / WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE RIDE:
The hares say;
" It's brilliant ! Hills, woodland and open spaces.
Loadsa climbing ( the high point is about 170m above the start point ), but
we hope to reward you all with some rather excellent views and enjoyable
downhills.
The tourist boards says...
"The Surrey Hills are a nationally important landscape. It was one of the
first areas in England to be designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty'. This designation recognised the beauty of the landscape and ensures
that it is properly conserved and managed for future generations to enjoy.
It is the most wooded of the country's protected landscapes and one of the
most varied. "
