Breeze along Downs Link - Guildford to Shoreham

An all day ride to Shoreham On Sea from Guildford, starting outside Guildford Station. The route is along traffic free disused railway lines, a good hard surface most of the way, with a couple of short road sections. The ride to Shoreham is 37 miles approx and the intention is to enjoy the ride down taking our time stopping for refreshments along the way at Southwater Country Park, as there is a cafe, toilets and an outside seating area. We will follow the downs link route all the way into Shoreham and arrive early afternoon for a late lunch. Please note the Downs link is a shared use route and there will be other cyclists, walkers and Horse Riders. However please bring plenty of water and snacks to eat along the way, to ensure you have plenty of energy. Please also bring a lock to secure your bike for when we stop. After our lunch we will cycle along the flat coastal path (national Cycle Route 2) 7 miles to Worthing where we can catch the train to Havant, once there we change trains to the Portsmouth line to get back to Guildford. The intention is to catch the 17.22 pm train from Worthing that will get us back in Guildford for 18.45 pm, which should give us plenty of time. However PLEASE NOTE actual return timings will be dependent on our pace down and the length of time we stop for refreshments and lunch etc. PLEASE BRING MONEY FOR THE TRAIN FARE HOME WHICH IS £25, should you wish to make your own way home from Shoreham you can make your own arrangements ie: someone can collect you from Shoreham. Also remember to wear appropriate clothing for the day, carry a light rain jacket in case of showers and sun cream as we will be out cycling for several hours if it a sunny day. Look forward to seeing you all on our adventure to Shoreham. Any further details or questions please email Karen on [email protected]
