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!

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
