Last week Ken pointed in the direction of a viewpoint down a flat, straight road in Caterham. The trouble is you have to climb before you reach the flat road. So on this beautiful Spring afternoon we set off to find said viewpoint. Retracing our steps and turning right from Rook Lane onto Chaldon Common Road our attention was drawn to two carved owls on a tree stump.
This was rather a sobering find and we were saddened to read the story of Lily.
We continued on our way and very soon this flat road was undulating and we were experiencing the Surrey Hills at their best but one of us had electric power and one of us just leg power! We climbed and descended Roffes Lane, then War Coppice Road then Gravelly Hill, and all the time I tried not to worry too much about the return journey. We reached the Caterham Viewpoint and sat and enjoyed the sunshine and view while a bird of prey circled overhead. A splendid afternoon and we retraced our tracks, stopping for tea and cake in Caterham on the Hill before returning home.
