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!

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
