location

It's about halfway betweek Dorking and Guildford. The nearest train station is Gomshall, about five miles away (the camp is actually a bit further down that road than is shown there)

Cycling from Guildford: probably not so good going along the bridleway , it was very sandy loose surface and there were lots of horseflys. Unless you have a suitable bike for the Sahara desert.

Gomshall is on the line from Reading to Gatwick Airport, via Guildford, Dorking, Reigate and Redhill. Timetable available, Gomshall services start on page 14. It seems the quickest way from central London is Victoria to Redhill and then change. Total about an hour, if you coordinate things right.

The REDHILL to GOMSHALL is (Gatwick--> Reading direction) on above PDF timetable details from page 22
