Ride out to explore Wisley, Ockham, Oxchott and Esher Commons - crossing the abandoned runway at Wisley Airfield.
The airstrip, originally grass (converted to tarmac in 1952), was used for testing by the Vickers Aviation Ltd. During WWII it was used as a dispersal site for Vickers Wellington bombers which would have been transported to the site by road from the factory at Brooklands, Weybridge to complete initial flight testing before delivery to the RAF.
