Quick trip up to Chilworth for a couple of tops on another hot day. Along main road then up Downs Link and for a modest height, excellent views to the south across the valley. Well worth the half hour's effort and following I the hoofprints of one William Cobbett, of 'Rural Rides' fame.JOHNS02/06/2018

2nd visit. During 50 mile Surrey Tops LDWA event. With Lesley. Great sunny afternoon and light giving great atmospheric views. A lovely hill of sandy paths and pine trees and beautiful church on top.
