Wednesday, April 12th, 2017

No one was walking today, so decided to go for a ride to New Haw and back

I passed the works and crossed the river then took the path round the ponds

Eventually I reached the A318 and rode to New Haw Lock

Then I took the towpath back past Cox’s lock to Addlestone and the Bourne estate

I rode by the river to Heath Road and ascended to the station

I then turned into the railway carpark and carried on down to Locke King Road
