Green lane/patch Tolworth, Surbiton area?

[fozzy2926]

Rather than making a mess of my XCh learning to ride off-road, I'm seriously considering buying a Honda CRF250X (lighter, less power etc). While in London I've booked a test ride this Thurs. with Tippets at Tolworth. I will be grateful if someone knowledgeable of the area can point me in the direction of a small grassy patch or lane where I can at least stand up to pootle around and be a little less likely to scratch the bike if I drop it. I certainly don't need and jumps, ruts etc.!
Thanks,
Steve
Oh, and if anyone has a tidy CRF250X that the've outgrown, please let me know

How about a guided ride out on the Surrey Lanes – starting from the world famous Rykas Café, about 20 minutes from Surbiton/Tolworth...

Here's a link to a GPS route for that area that covers most of the local lanes

Have fun. Its a fairly easy run and wouldn't be a major problem on an Xch
