Hey,

I am working near Kingswood in Surrey today and I thought about driving to Box Hill after work.

Anyone done the drive before?

What are the roads like? What is the hill like?

Thinking about a little drive to box and leith hill... could be a nice drive!
 
Box hill and the surrounding area are great - not driven up the hill though. Looks out for speed traps or bikers doing 100mph+ on the Mickleham Bends and also for cyclists going up the hill.

Maybe stop in Denbies vineyard for a slice of cake afterwards? 8)
 
Its good but you may be frustrated by cyclists dominating the tarmac. Worth a pootle to the top and a wander around if the weathers good at it has some great views.

I plan to go after 5, as the cafe and everything is closed. So hopefully less cyclist going up there then.

Not normally during the week but it's actively patrolled during the weekends because of bikers. The Bends are a bit like the Becketts complex at Silverstone.

Party time this evening then!

I will post some pictures when I get to the top!

I love Box Hill..I have done a few midnight runs up there...its the best time to go up there as you miss all the cyclist's and the views at night up there are incredible! Just be aware you might pass people doing...well what some people like to do in the woods in the middle of the night :|

Looking forward to the pics :thumbsup:

Staying at the Nutfield Priory, so I was going to go do the two hills, and find some grub and head back to the hotel later.

Well it started to rain then it stopped as I went up the hill!

Apart from the bumps the road was great!!!!
 
Great roads ... Went over there today and had lunch at a place called the Parrot , in the sun. Some really nice cars at that place today. Currently staying at a hotel at the base of box hill, never heard so many bikes nailing it round roads, good fun! Looking forward to the drive home tomorrow. Sooo many convertibles out today, about bloody time.
