Box Hill One-Way Experiment
« on: 16 April, 2017, 01:31:53 pm »
Was interested to hear that the Zigzag Road has been made one-way (uphill) throughout the Easter weekend, and that if this is deemed a success the NT will do the same on other Bank Holiday weekends.

My riding's not taken me out that way this weekend. If you have been on Box Hill, how's the experiment going?

It'd be handy if they did the same with all of the roads on the Cheam & Morden Hilly 50.
And some freshly laid tarmac kerb to kerb wouldn't go amiss, as it is well overdue.

That's such a good idea.  It'll be interesting to see how it works.  Box Hill is on my bucket list.

Box Hill might be iconic, Ruthie - but it isn't particularly hard / steep.
If that is what you are looking for, White Down should be on your list. It is a tad more challenging.

Box Hill is where my grandparents went a-courting by bicycle  :)

Do the Surrey Hills and get both, and more.
