As a follow up to @aP’s post you can ride into Newlands along the NDW from Guildford (level ride if you start from top of Fort Road/Pewley Hill, unrestricted parking Sunday I recall, goes straight onto Pewley Down, across there with nice views, bridleway to White Lane then up onto NDW to Newlands (cafe, large car park but might be a hassle to park there on the day)
@cg I used to live in Guildford nr Fort Road and ride from there to Newlands all the time, about 20 mins, other options possible with a bit more climbing to Newlands, eg Chantry View Woods car park off Pilgrims Way or park in large public car park near Evelyn Arnaud Theatre in Guildford). If you want a map let me know. If you have the MTB lots of options to get to the Leith Hill climb too. Watch the weather as last year they cut out Leith Hill as it was deemed too dangerous in the wet with the crowds
OS GetaMap/Maps 😉
EDIT: There is some good mtb-ing not far from Newlands if you want a little lap let me know. Kris Cook sadly passed away on the Newlands climb last year, there’s a little memorial to him on the other side of the road to the carp park.
