I used to be at school at Cranleigh so I used to do Barhatch Lane quite often.

Zig Zag Road is just a nice, steady climb that gives me a bit of a work out without being too taxing. I'm looking forward to doing it soon; my road bike has been off the road for over a month so I've been clocking up the miles on my mountain bike. The climb up Box Hill via Broadwoods Folly is the one that reaches 18%, that I mentioned above. The church group that I often go out with call that climb 'The Walkie-Talkie' as that's what we so often do.
