Does anyone ride this section at Pebblehill from Reigate Hill direction, I noticed a no cycling sign, it was quite busy with walkers so I was a good boy and found another route.

Looks like confession time for me - I do from time to time - I live in Redhill and sometimes ride from home to Box hill/Leith hill along that route. Never had any 'issues' or conversations with bikeless people to disuade me.

That's good enough for me, that's where I was heading from Woldingham, I wanted to stay on the NDW rather than climb Pebble Hill on road. Next time. Thanks

It depends exactly you mean but there are some very short stretches of the NDW that are Bridleway. There are much better tracks to ride than the NDW between Pebble and Reigate hills.

Yeh I saw the other bridleways, I'll give those a try too.

It's a proper steep section up from the road crossing at Pebblehill - a good challenge to clean - especially in the last couple of weeks, its got slippy due to algae on the chalk. Fun!

Nice, it was pretty hard going on the way back up Juniper/Colley.
