December 14, 2022, Winey Hill Monument

So close to busy, suburban Chessington, yet it feels so far away up here on Winey Hill. There are great views and you will often find horses grazing.

Lovely beer at tiny pub, but very restricted opening hours. Check the Platform 3 Facebook page for details.

December 27, 2021, Flood-Prone Underpass

This underpath under a bridge gets often flooded due to its low location and the water can easily stand kneehigh. If it has been raining a lot lately, do wear boots or wellies and don't be surprised if you need to turn around ;-) There is an alternative via Claygate that avoids this underpath.

Nice byway that is flat and probably gets muddy. I went there when it was dry and was great.
