We Nesles tourists had a great time and came away today just as our excellent weather each of the three days reverted to gales over the English Channel (as the French refuse to call it). Brian
I led 4 of us 'B' group (33% increase on last week). Angie Launder, John Gaunt and Cliff Whitfield. From Addlestone via Longcross, over M3, Wentworth golf course, A30, through Sunningdale to Sunninghill for lunch at The Royal Oak. Light rain after lunch, we rode Buckhurst Lane, Blacknest, Virginia Water, Wentworth golf course (different route), Thorpe Green, Chertsey to Shepperton where we had Tea at Holts bakery. I clocked 51 miles. Les Johnston
And from Albert: The weather forecast was probably why the turnout at Addlestone was rather low. In fact if any of us played bridge we would have had one too many! I had the privilege of leading Bill, Beryl, Roger and Mark, who later peeled off for Chobham not feeling up to scratch, en route for The Nag's Head at Sunninghill. We reached Green Lane via St. Mary's residential estate, then up Holloway Hill along the Longcross road, over the M3, left along Chertsey Road and then right on Chobham Road to Sunningdale where we turned right on the A30 for half a mile to the left turn for High Street Sunninghill and one of the most pleasant watering holes I know. After lunch back up the A30 again for another uphill half mile to Shrubs Hill we turned right into Wentworth Estate, emerging with a right turn on Wellington Avenue then left into Crown Road then left at the end to Trumps Green with a good bit of downhill to a right turn along Lyne Crossing Road. Rather a misnomer since the advent of that weird railway bridge made the crossing redundant. The aforementioned road now runs into Hardwick Lane ending at the lower end of Holloway Hill, from where we made a beeline for tea at my place. I'll be living on that extra cake for some time if no one drops in. Albert
