We have received this invitation from Surrey County Council, an ideal opportunity for you to influence cycle policy across the Borough:
You are invited on behalf of Surrey County Council to comment on the proposals that are being developed for a network of cycle facilities across Guildford Borough.
We have set up a drop-in session, to be held from 16:00-20:00 on 28 May 2015 at The Holy Trinity Centre in the Lower Hall (off Guildford High Street) and it would be great if you could come to give us your views. The aim of the session is to get comment and feedback from a range of stakeholders on:
- a proposed facility network as developed at a previous workshop;
- the developing ideas that could comprise a bid to the Local Enterprise Partnership funding board.
The proposed network will be displayed and you will be asked to leave comments on it, officers will also be in attendance to discuss it with you.
There will also be other boards to provide the context for cycling in Guildford including cycle count data, casualty data, training and promotional activities.
If you have any queries, please email me.
Kind regards

Six of us spent a week in Middleton in Teesdale (Co Durham) exploring this very scenic area before moving on to Giggleswick, just across the River Ribble from Settle in Yorkshire, where we were joined by six more members for the May Day bank holiday weekend. Here are a few photos. There are lots more photos, at higher resolution, at

Thanks are due to Derek and Anne Tanner for organising this most successful trip.
Five Grade 3 midweek wayfarers braved the weather on Wednesday to celebrate Pat Daffarn’s 60th birthday – that very day. How could we possibly miss this?
One very lonely and abandoned Grade 4 group leader – none other than John Murdoch – joined Pat, Neil, Keith, Phil and Laurie on a thoroughly enjoyable route planned by Phil through the beautiful countryside around Basingstoke. Yes the rain did strike, fiercely but only briefly, just before lunch, and occasionally the gusts blew but this hardly mattered.
The real enjoyment was Pat’s surprise at the end of the day. His partner, Maggi, secretly arranged to join us all at the Fox and Goose at Greywell with (unfortunately injured) fellow Grade 3, John Child, and a magnificent cake – sparklers and all.
