How are you getting to the cricket club (unofficial thread)

[sonic909]

So.. i'm all of a quandary!

In an ideal world i'd cycle, but my lady is not a keen cyclist...

I know the rest of the world are using Dorking Deepdene or Boxhill and Westhumble with their official tickets and free travel - so thats going to be mayhem. Also its a serious uphill trek of a few miles to get there and also you have to have tickets to be allowed to walk in that area - i know we have these wrist bands but i don't want to risk some security numpty not allowing us through!!!

Fiona and I recce'd it and it would seem although the B2032 ("Dorking Road" leading down from the A217 past the Pfizer building and golf club/speed camera and over the M25) is a tow away zone its not going to be closed. On that basis i am going to try and get a lift/cab as far down it as we can and then walk from the junction of that and Headly Common Road - (where Dorking Road turns into Pebblehill Road -the steep hill!)

Anyone got any better suggestions?!

There is a bridleway off Sturts Lane in Walton [url=https://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=51.269836,-0.256226&spn=0.009747,0.019634&t=h&z=16](map link)[/url] which if you follow round to the cricket ground (zoom out a bit) will get you there. If you can find somewhere to park in Walton. I suspect that many people will have the same idea - in fact places like [url=https://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=51.285957,-0.255647&spn=0.004872,0.009817&t=h&z=17]the pony club[/url] are already pre-booking for parking spaces.

Can't she WTFU and ride the 2 or 3 miles from somewhere parkable?

I'm doing the same as Elliot, train to Tadworth then walking the 3 miles, will probably be staggering back !

Jean and I have booked a place at the Mid-Surrey Pony Club, Tadworth, car park, north of the Cricket Club. It's about a mile walk along a bridleway path.
