I ended up traveling through some amazingly quiet woodland, through some beautiful little villages and over a large stretch of Heathland. All within a 2 hour ride of my house, what a lucky boy I am. What amazed me on such a gorgeous day was that in 4 hours I saw 15 people, an outrage on such a day really, however I wasn't complaining the countryside seems so much more enjoyable when it's quiet and peaceful.
From Godalming, I cycled along the old railway line to Shamley Green, rode past a pub stopped and stared at it for quite a while wishing that I could go in and grab a glass of orange juice (note to self, buy a new bike lock for next time). I rode past a field full of tiny Christmas trees I presume growing for the festive season in a few months. Then into a very very quiet piece of woodland in which I found this wonderful toadstool.
After passing a few riders on horseback I stopped for my lunch on a piece of heathland, the kind which is always at it's best at this time of year, covered in colour. In fact there's colour (why does my computer want to change colour to be spelt color?) everywhere in the British summertime. Most prominent of all are the yellows from the flowers to the left, no idea what they are as I'm no horticulturist, but the look spectacular in the meadows.
