Oct 18th

From Douglas Brunton Centre, Caterham, four 'B' group, John Gould, Norman Goody, Bill Parkhouse and I rode via Woldingham Garden Village, Tandridge and Crowhurst to Dormansland, The Old House at Home PH for lunch. We were joined by Terry Lowe and John Mason. We did have a little light rain but of no consequence really compared to last week. After lunch we headed north via Haxsted, stopping at Crowhurst church as some of party had not seen the hollowed out tree with door where it is alleged 12 sat down to lunch. Bill left us around Tilburstow as he had left his car at Douglas Brunton Centre.

Onward via Bletchingley to Merstham where it was hoped to have tea - Hungers End was closed. On to Fanny's Farm where Norman stopped for tea, he likes his tea. John G and I carried on.

I clocked 56 miles.

From Claygate, Rod led around sixteen of us 'C' group en route for The Old Plough at Stoke d'Abernon. Lynda, Liz, Deanna, Bill and Pat Matthews,Harold, Roger, Bill H, John C and John Knox, Dennis, Dave and Cliff with his new bike. The last two named were unfortunate to collect punctures during our ride. The weather was spot on, not cold and plenty of sunshine. After less than a mile we joined Arbrook Common for a spot of offroad, crossing the A244 to Esher Common then over the Esher Bypass to Fairmile Common,leaving the dirt at Sandy Lane (I was more careful this time having hit the tarmac with my elbow not long ago). Near the next bend on a rather sandy stretch we went offroad to Green Lane.It was nearly all tarmac on Hogshill Lane down to Cobham where after a ride up Cobham Park Road we had some more offroad on River Lane passing Downside Farm and crossing the Mole. It was about here we saw our Dennis coming the other way (how does he do that?). We split up at the cemetery with the picnic party to join up later at the pub. After lunch I went home as tea wasto be had at Epsom. --------------------------- Albert
