We wanted to try something different and I had planned a cycle route round Surrey Hills.\u00a0 Rather than take the car with the bikes I looked on Search4Sites to see if there was anywhere we could park Wike and spend the night.\u00a0 I came across Albury Heath Cricket ground that had a large car park.\u00a0 There seemed to be lots of good reviews and it was only a few miles from home.<\/p>

We arrived on the Friday evening just before it got dark.\u00a0 The car park was empty so we had the pick of where to park.\u00a0 This was a bonus as there were lots of pot holes but we managed to find a flat spot.\u00a0 The view across the football pitches and the hills was spectacular.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

We had bought a tv for the van so thought we would set it up to check it worked, which it did after placing the aerial out the skylight.\u00a0 I cooked steak and chips and we settled down to a night in front of the telly in the woods.\u00a0 During the night one other van came in although they left before we got up.<\/p>

When we woke up the next morning the car park was full of football players, walkers and even a couple of horse boxes.\u00a0 The sun was shining so I took my cup of tea outside and chatted with the locals.\u00a0 Everyone was very friendly and no one questioned why we were there, I guess they are used to seeing motorhomes in the mornings.\u00a0<\/p>

After breakfast we unloaded the bikes and set off on our cycle.\u00a0 The route I had planned on Garmin got a bit confused and after a couple of hours we were totally lost!\u00a0 We cycled down tracks, across fields and small lanes that had mini book libraries in bus stops.\u00a0 Some of the tracks were very stony and Donald managed to puncture a tyre which he quickly fixed.\u00a0 As it was nearing lunch time we searched on Google for the nearest pub and found ourselves in Dorking.\u00a0 Feeling full, we headed back to the van, up some very steep hills, to find we were the only ones left in the car park.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

After a very quiet nights sleep we woke the next morning to a similar sight we had the previous day.\u00a0 This time we off loaded the bikes and cycled to Newlands corner<\/a> for breakfast.\u00a0 Being a Sunday morning there were loads of motorbikes as this seems to be a meeting place for them.\u00a0 It was really nice to see so many people out enjoying the fresh air and atmosphere.\u00a0 We took a different route back to the van to try to avoid going down very steep hills on gravel paths.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Back at the van we packed up and headed home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
