December 14, 2024,Surrey Hills - Cranleigh bakery 🍪

A chilled winter bakery spin taking in Winterfold (Surrey Hills) with a fun trail and bombing along the quiet lane to Cranleigh to the bakery for humongous cookies and gingerbread men! With a gentle cruise planned, we took thr Downs Link directly back to Shamley Green and up towards Blackheath Common.
