If you're not planning to be glued to either or both of the wedding and football, what are you planning instead? I'm thinking about getting the train somewhere with a quiet beach or good walking, not sure exactly where yet. Roads and I guess shops will be nice and quiet.

In my experience, half way down Leith Hill is preferable to being half way up!

It's the one that's down the road from Box Hill. Box Hill is a fair bit easier, I have found. Leith Hill is not by any means the hardest climb in the SE, but it is reasonably challenging for those like me who are not exactly what you would call hill climbers!


I know what you mean about the masochism involved with cycling and hills though! It does tend to kick in after a while.

Definitely, when I was twenty I hated climbing, now I'm nearly fifty I'll go miles out of my way for a good hill (in two weeks time we're making a 600 mile round trip to climb five miles of road - Great Dun Fell in Cumbria, the highest paved road in the UK). Leith Hill is about seven miles from Box Hill to the southwest, it's about 30% higher and 30% steeper than Box Hill. Usually do Leith first and Box on the way home, Box feels like a pimple after Leith!

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
