Which bit were you on njee? I was only on Holmbury - mainly the middle bits between YP/TR and the reservoir. I cant recall getting stung. Compare that with areas like Hindhead/Punchbowl/Puttenham where the stingers and brambles have lacerated my arms!
I really hate the innocent looking bracken that hides the vicious bramble inside. Catches on the inside of the elbow 😡
@temhurtmore that's what happens when you drive off the bike head first into the bushes.
Quick local spin tonight ?

wear them with pride, scars on the inside of the elbow are the mark of a Surrey Hills biker.

We did Winterfold, Pitch and Holmbury, admittedly Holmbury was the least overgrown.
Anyone been up today? How wet is it? Up there tomorrow.
It was bone dry yesterday.
Barrys was as dull as ditchwater. It's like a Sustrans path.
Didn't ride Barrys but went for an evening ride on Holmbury today. Conditions much better and drier althought there are the odd puddles in obvious places on runs like Yog Pots/Parklife.
But generally nice conditions to ride. Secret squirrel (I think) was the easiest I have ever know it as the off camber roots bits were all pretty dry. The best fun I have had on that route - perhaps my technique is improving at last. Some of the routes near the bottom Holmbury car park seem to have been blocked at the top which is a shame as they were fun. The remaining sections are quie a bit shorter.
Beware of the flying ants everywhere. Worst sitting outside the Inn! Should be fun up there tomorrow but signs about overcrowding on weekend of 27th.
People say these lyrics are gibberish, but think [s]sex[/s] a hefty dose of good LSD and it all becomes vividly clear.
