Mtb route starting at Holmbury?

[Hugo Stiglitz]

Memory is hazy as really the last time I regularly rode the Surrey Hills was 12+yrs ago.


I can park on Holmbury Hill- ride Yoghurt pots down to Telegraph run but where from there at the bottom of the Telegraph?

I normally park the other end on Holmbury next to the YHA and then ride up to the top on the fireroads. Then down BKB into Peaslake and up to Pitch past the church (behind Pedal and Spoke) to ride the trails there, or further to Winterfold. You can pretty much get a run from the top of Pitch down to Walking Bottom carpark linking the trails. Therefore Yoghurts and Telegraph then become the run back to the car if you get back up to the top of Holmbury.

The end of Telegraph is something of a dead end in terms of trails unless you want to head over to Leith Hill via a couple that drop down to the road (turn right at bottom of Telegraph for those).

There are far more DH trail sections on Pitch.

I noticed two lots of Horse st on BKB yesterday. Is BKB an official bike trail or shared users?

That's an accident waiting to happen.

Barrys is one of the few officially sanctioned trails, but I guess the bylaws allow free roam by all. I have never met a horse or walker on there luckily.
