Horsley to Shoreham-by-Sea. A Cycling Adventure to the Coast

**From the Surrey countryside to the Sussex coast, by bicycle.** **Saturday 24 October 2026** - 41 miles / 66 km · 1,525 ft / 465 m climbing. - Gravel and mountain bikes only. - £60 per person. - Maximum six riders Join us for a day travelling by bicycle from Horsley to Shoreham-by-Sea, through woodland, countryside and along former railway trails towards the coast. We will leave London by train, start riding in Surrey and spend the day making our way south. There will be climbs, gravel, perhaps a little mud, stops for food, photographs and time to enjoy the places we pass through. Then, after a day on the trails, we will arrive in Shoreham-by-Sea with the coast ahead of us and nearly 66 km behind us. **The plan** - Meet at London Waterloo station at 6:30 am, on the main concourse by the departure boards. - Take the 6:57 train to Horsley. Final train times and platform information will be shared before the event. - Briefing and bike checks at Horsley before setting off. - Ride to Shoreham-by-Sea, stopping for food, refreshments and photographs along the way. - Finish during the late afternoon and take the train home. Please arrive ready to travel, with your ticket purchased and your bicycle prepared. **The route** The route planner estimates just over four hours of cycling at an average moving speed of 10 mph. Allow a full day for the adventure, including our train journey, food stops, photographs, regrouping and any slower sections. From Horsley, we will head south through the Surrey countryside before joining the Downs Link towards Shoreham-by-Sea. The earlier part of the ride contains most of the climbing. Further south, the profile becomes gentler as we continue towards the coast. Approximately 69% of the route is classified as unpaved or compacted gravel. Expect a mixture of paths, woodland trails, narrower sections and connecting roads. October may bring mud, wet leaves, puddles and slippery surfaces. These conditions can make the ride more demanding than the distance and elevation figures suggest. The actual route is estimated at just over four hours of moving time. However our day will be longer once we include breaks, regrouping and any slower sections. The final GPX and essential rider information will be shared before the event. **Is this ride for you?** You should be comfortable cycling for several hours and have experience riding on gravel and uneven terrain. We will maintain a steady, social pace, regroup regularly and make time for stops. You should have the fitness to complete nearly 66 km on mixed surfaces. Ride within your ability. Nobody needs to ride a section they feel uncomfortable with. Getting off and walking is always welcome. We will share the trails considerately, slowing down and giving way to walkers and horse riders. **Suitable bicycles** This adventure is for gravel bikes and mountain bikes only. Tyres at least 40 mm wide are recommended, with tread appropriate for potentially wet and muddy trails. Your bicycle must be well maintained and ready for a full day outdoors. Road bikes are not suitable. In keeping with UK Cycling Adventures, this ride is for conventional, non-electric bicycles. **What to bring** - Helmet and working front and rear lights. - Two spare inner tubes, tyre levers, pump and puncture repair kit. - Multitool and a chain quick link compatible with your drivetrain. - Waterproofs and warm layers suitable for the forecast. - Water, snacks and enough food for the stretches between stops. - A charged mobile phone. - Cash or a payment card for trains, food and emergencies. Please use equipment you have already tested on a longer ride. **Food and trains** We will stop for refreshments along the way. Please carry snacks and water rather than relying entirely on cafés being open. Outward and return train tickets, food and drinks are at your own expense. Bicycle space on trains is limited and travelling together on the same service cannot be guaranteed. Travel guidance will be shared before the event. **Support and self-sufficiency** We will help one another with punctures and manageable mechanical problems. Each rider remains responsible for their bicycle, equipment, food, water and journey home. If you cannot continue, we will help you consider practical options where reasonably possible. You must be prepared to arrange and pay for your own onward travel. **Weather and cancellation** This is an outdoor adventure and normal British weather is part of the experience. Rain alone does not necessarily mean cancellation. However, if conditions are sufficiently poor that we consider the ride unsafe or unreasonable to run, the adventure will be cancelled and your £60 will be refunded. You may cancel up to 48 hours before the scheduled start and receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 48 hours of departure are non-refundable. If UK Cycling Adventures cancels the event, your £60 will be refunded in full. **Six riders only** This adventure is limited to six riders. A small group allows us to ride socially, keep track of one another, deal with problems more easily and actually experience the journey together. **What does the £60 include?** Your place includes: - A carefully researched and planned route. - A GPX file to follow on your own navigation device. - Weather and transport checks before departure. - A rider briefing covering the route and practical arrangements. - Small-group ride leadership and reasonable assistance throughout the day. The adventure is limited to six riders, allowing us to travel together, regroup regularly and give everyone more individual attention. Outward and return train tickets, food and drinks are not included. **Horsley to Shoreham-by-Sea.** An early train, a day exploring and a destination by the sea. Join us for the journey. 😃🚴

👻 Деревня призраков

**✨**Добро пожаловать в пещеры **[Chislehurst](https://chislehurst-caves.co.uk/)** — грандиозный подземный лабиринт, где каждый поворот хранит новую тайну! Эти удивительные пещеры, протянувшиеся на 35 километров, — вовсе не творение природы, а результат многовекового человеческого труда. Начиная с эпохи неолита, люди добывали здесь кремень и мел, не подозревая, что создают одно из самых мистических мест Британии. Римляне оставили здесь свои следы, саксы продолжали разработки, а в XX веке пещеры обрели новую, совершенно неожиданную жизнь. Самая драматичная страница истории пещер началась в 1940 году, когда во время бомбардировок Лондона сюда хлынули тысячи людей. Здесь каждую ночь 15 000 человек спускались под землю, платя по пенни за вход, чтобы найти спасение от взрывов. Так на глубине 30 метров возник настоящий подземный город с электрическим освещением, часовней, больницей и даже кинозалом. 🏡 **Деревня Pluckley** в графстве Кент по праву носит титул столицы привидений Англии. Это место, где история переплетается с легендами, а реальность — со сверхъестественным. Согласно Книге рекордов Гиннесса, Pluckley считается самой посещаемой призраками деревней в Британии, где обитает от двенадцати до четырнадцати привидений. История этих призраков уходит корнями в глубину веков, и многие из них связаны с трагическими событиями. Например, призрак цыганки, сгоревшей заживо на мосту Пиннок, или призрак школьного учителя, повесившегося в переулке Дики Басса. Исследования доктора Симона Мортона из Университета Западной Англии раскрыли, что многие из этих историй основаны на реальных событиях, таких как смерть Сары Шарп, «Леди с кресс-салатом», которая сгорела в августе 1911 года, или самоубийство Мэри Энн Беннетт, «Леди Роуз Корт», в 1862 году. Прогулка по Pluckley — это путешествие в мир тайн и загадок. Начиная от церкви Святого Николая, где в часовне Дерингов видят странные огни и слышат стуки из склепа, до «Угстра страха» (Fright Corner), где призрак разбойника повторяет свою последнюю схватку. Деревня также известна своими уникальными округлыми окнами, которые были установлены в честь сэра Эдварда Деринга, спасшегося от круглоголовых через такое окно во время Гражданской войны. После призрачных уголков Pluckley идеальным местом для отдыха и обеда станет паб The Black Horse. Этот паб, расположенный в самом сердце деревни, является не только частью её истории, но и уютным уголком, где можно насладиться традиционной английской кухней. Паб, построенный в XV веке, славится своими атмосферными интерьерами с деревянными балками, каминами и свечами, создающими романтическую обстановку. В меню представлены блюда из локальных продуктов, включая сытные ростбифы, огромные йоркширские пудинги и веганские опции. The Black Horse — это идеальное место, чтобы закрепить впечатления от посещения самой haunted деревни Англии, наслаждаясь качественной едой и исторической атмосферой. Этот уголок Кента обязателен для посещения любителями загадок и традиционной английской культуры. 📝 План поездки: 📍 **08:45** **Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62)**, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍 10:30 — 12:00 Пещеры [Chislehurst](https://chislehurst-caves.co.uk/) ([от £8](https://chislehurst-caves.co.uk/plan-your-visit/#)) 📍13:00 — 17:00 Столица привидений Англии – деревня Pluckley, время на обед в [The Black Horse](https://theblackhorseatpluckley.co.uk/) 📍 17:00 Отправление 📍 19:00 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️ Аудиогид на русском ⚜️ Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️ Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️ Профессиональный водитель с наградой RoSPA Gold ⚜️ Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️ НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌ Не включено: ❌ Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌ Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌ Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌ Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌ [Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌ [Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌ Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒 Что взять с собой: ☑️ Воду/еду по желанию ☑️ Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️ Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение 🙂 ☑️ При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️ Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.

⛰️ Сноудон 🆕

### ⛰️ **Покорите высочайшую вершину Уэльса с комфортом!** 🇬🇧 Для нашей команды это уже 67-й 📊 документально подтверждённый подъём, проведённый под руководством Mountain Leader нашей компании — Максима 🧭. В первый день нас ждёт знакомство с одними из самых красивых и интересных мест Северного Уэльса 🌿. Первой остановкой станет **Powis Castle and Garden** 🏰 — один из самых впечатляющих замков Уэльса, окружённый знаменитыми террасными садами 🌸. Первая крепость была построена здесь ещё в XIII веке из красного песчаника 🧱. На протяжении столетий замок расширялся, а его облик менялся в соответствии со вкусами его владельцев. Одной из самых старых башен уже более семи веков ⌛, а внутри замка хранится уникальная коллекция произведений искусства и антиквариата 🖼️. Powis Castle также пользуется популярностью у любителей мистики и охотников за привидениями 👻. Особая достопримечательность замка — его великолепный террасный сад, который считается одним из самых красивых в Великобритании 🇬🇧✨. Затем мы продолжим путешествие через живописные горные пейзажи Уэльса 🏔️ и проедем вдоль живописного горного озера **Bala Lake** 🌊 в национальном парке Сноудония. Его длина составляет около 6 км, а максимальная глубина достигает 42 метров. Окружённое горами и практически нетронутой природой, озеро является прекрасным местом для тех, кто хочет отдохнуть от городской суеты и насладиться спокойствием природы 🕊️. Следующая остановка — **Betws-y-Coed** 🌲, живописный горный посёлок, окружённый лесами и горами. Его название с валлийского переводится как «Молитвенный дом в лесу» и связано с расположенной здесь церковью Святого Михаила XIV века ⛪. Природная красота, спокойная атмосфера, уютные улочки, небольшие магазины 🛍️ и многочисленные пешие маршруты 🥾 сделали Betws-y-Coed одним из самых популярных туристических мест Северного Уэльса. Здесь можно неспешно прогуляться, насладиться местными пейзажами и почувствовать настоящую атмосферу валлийской деревушки 🏡. После этого мы посетим знаменитый водопад **Rhaeadr Ewynnol Swallow Falls** 🌊, который часто можно увидеть на фотографиях, открытках и картинах Уэльса 📸. Мощные каскады воды стремительно стекают по скалам в долину реки, создавая впечатляющее зрелище ✨. Прогулка рядом с водопадом позволяет увидеть его с разных ракурсов и насладиться окружающим лесом и горными пейзажами 🍃. После насыщенного дня мы отправимся в Llanberis и разместимся в **Royal Victoria Hotel** 🏨. Здесь у нас будет свободное время для отдыха и подготовки к главному событию путешествия 💤. Второй день станет главным приключением нашей поездки — нас ждёт покорение **Snowdon** 🏔️, высочайшей вершины Уэльса. Высота Snowdon составляет 1 085 метров над уровнем моря 📏, и эта величественная гора по праву считается жемчужиной национального парка Сноудония 💎. Наш маршрут начнётся в живописном Llanberis, расположенном у подножия горы, на берегу озера **Llyn Padarn** 🏞️. Мы поднимемся по **Llanberis Path** — самому протяжённому, но при этом одному из наиболее пологих и живописных маршрутов к вершине Snowdon 🥾. Именно этим маршрутом пользовались первые туристы ещё в викторианскую эпоху 🎩. Подъём займёт около трёх часов ⏱️, после чего нас ждёт примерно три часа спуска. По мере набора высоты пейзажи будут меняться буквально на глазах: зелёные долины с пасущимися овцами 🐑 постепенно уступят место каменистым горным склонам 🪨, а воздух станет прохладнее и свежее 🌬️. По пути перед нами будут открываться захватывающие панорамы на Llyn Padarn, долину Nant Peris и окружающие вершины Сноудонии. В хорошую погоду ☀️ с высоты открываются впечатляющие виды в сторону Ирландского моря 🌊 и острова Англси. На склонах горы можно встретить диких пони 🐴 и горных баранов 🐐, совершенно не боящихся туристов. Ближе к вершине маршрут становится более каменистым, добавляя восхождению настоящее ощущение горного приключения 🧗‍♂️. Финальные метры подъёма самые волнительные! Ещё несколько шагов — и перед нами открывается панорама бескрайних горных хребтов Уэльса и моря 🌅. На вершине находится знаменитое **Hafod Eryri** — горное кафе ☕, куда в сезон также прибывает исторический поезд **Snowdon Mountain Railway** 🚂. Здесь можно перевести дух, выпить горячего чая или кофе ☕, приобрести памятный сувенир 🎁 и просто насладиться особенным моментом, когда вы стоите на крыше Уэльса, более чем в километре над уровнем моря! 🎉 Восхождение проходит под руководством нашего опытного Mountain Leader Максима 🧭, который обеспечивает организованное и безопасное прохождение маршрута группой 🛡️. Для тех, кто предпочитает не совершать восхождение, предусмотрена альтернативная программа в деревне Llanberis — спокойный отдых и пикник 🧺 у подножия Snowdon с прекрасным видом на вершину. Можно будет наблюдать за туристами, поднимающимися по склонам 🔭, и наслаждаться атмосферой гор, не отправляясь в длительный поход. После горного приключения нас ждёт обед 🍽️, а затем мы отправимся обратно в Лондон 🚌 с чувством выполненного долга, яркими впечатлениями и множеством фотографий 📸, которые будут напоминать об этом путешествии! ✨ 📝 **День 1 — Суббота:** 📍**07:45 Встреча** у отеля[ ](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62)**[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62)**, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (десять минут от станции метро Hammersmith) 📍12:30 — 14:30 [Powis Castle](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/powis-castle-and-garden) и самые великолепные [сады](https://nt.global.ssl.fastly.net/binaries/content/assets/website/national/regions/wales/places/powis-castle-and-garden/pdf/powis-castle-and-garden-map.pdf) Уэльса ([от £7.50](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wales/powis-castle-and-garden#place-opening-times)), время на обед 📍15:00 — 15:15 Озеро Bala Lake 📍16:00 — 17:00 Горный курортный поселок [Betws-y-Coed](http://www.betws-y-coed.co.uk/) 📍17:15 — 17:45 «Ласточкин водопад» [Rhaeadr Ewynnol Swallow](http://www.betws-y-coed.co.uk/feature_pages/item/1067/Swallow_Falls_Betws_y_Coed.html) 📍17:45 — 18:30 Путешествие по живописной дороге через долину Ogwen с видами на горы Сноудон и Трифан 📍18:30 Заселение в отель [Royal Victoria](https://maps.app.goo.gl/adVU3BYacG64nGde7) в Llanberis, свободное время 📝**День 2 — Воскресенье:** 📍07:00 – 07:45 Завтрак 📍08:00 Отправление 📍08:00 – 14:00 Восхождение на Snowdon от Llanberis (3 часа вверх, 3 часа вниз ) 📍08:00 – 15:00 Альтернатива подъему — время в Llanberis, исторический поезд Snowdon Mountain Railway ([от £25](https://snowdonrailway.digitickets.co.uk/event-tickets/76532?catID=71812&navItem=1345338)), прогулка к озеру Llyn Padarn, замку Dolbadarn Castle, водопаду Ceunant Mawr или пикник у подножия горы с видом на вершину, где увидим поднимающихся 📍14:00 – 15:00 Обед в деревне Llanberis 📍15:00 Отправление 📍21:00 London, Hammersmit ✅ **Включено в стоимость:** ⚜️ Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️ Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️ Профессиональный водитель с наградой RoSPA Gold ⚜️ Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️ **Восхождение из Llanberis продолжительностью до 6 часов** в составе организованной группы под руководством **Mountain Leader** ⚜️НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ⚜️ **Отель комната на одного - частное размещение** ❌ **Не включено:** ❌ Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌ Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌ Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌ Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌ [Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌ [Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – привилегии для участников программы, в том числе переносы броней без потерь ❌ Гид-экскурсовод – вместо гида помощь водителя/тур-менеджера \*\*\* 🎒 Что взять с собой: ☑️ Воду/еду по желанию ☑️ Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️ Мелочь для чаевых и отличное настроение ☑️ Треккинговые ботинки 🥾 (обязательны для тех, кто планирует восхождение на Сноудон) ☑️ При необходимости не более одной ручной клади весом до 10 кг (40x30x20 см) ✳️ Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.
