Evening one and all, or what ever time it is where you are !! I live just up the road from Woking (Windsor) and was at a bit of a lose end this afternoon to i decided to take a ride and try and find the sandpits of Horsell common on my motorbike... didn't really have much luck, pulled into a few car parks but nothing really fitted the bill of the way it's discribed in the book. has any of you guys taken a trip out over that way? what's the best part of the common to 'track down' that is accurate to the book? cheers all !!  |

When I was there, I walked in from the Horsell village side of the common. It's a lot bigger than you think, but if you head north west from the start of the common from there, you're not very far from the sandpits.

Bobble, the book indicates that the landing site was very close to the Sandpits, so I'd concentrate your recce'ing to that area. Try entering the Common from Chertsey Road via the track called "Anthonys" opposite the Sands pub (formerly "The Bleak House").
Cheers,
KR

If someone does find the sandpits then any chance they could take some pictures and maybe some landscape shots of the common so we can all see what it's like. I tried to find it on GoogleEarth but didn't have much luck. Chris  |
