And thanks to @andyp - your local knowledge, strength on the hills and patience when I got that blank look on my face when deciding between which toepath to take was much appreciated. Also thanks for tow back into town and cheeky way around Crystal Palace, much appreciated!
All in all tough work with the muck. This route is a lot more straightforward in the dry. I had higher hopes for myself on the day alas the wet chalk and clay and unnecessary three-pronged approach to Toys Hills was a fucker and once again totally wiped me.
Obviously I had brilliant fun though!

Thanks to @youramericanlover for leading the way today, it was an excellent day out on the bike despite the cold. He gets extra kudos for doing on a singlespeed and even more for having a mudguard on the back wheel, although it did get clogged once or twice.
Off road conditions were variable, some sections were firm and dry, others wet and slippery, especially the little diversion we took off the NCN 21, which was probably the hardest off camber section I've ridden in some time. Retracing our steps on foot was the sensible option.
