B Group Jan 31

After helping Graham eat his birthday pie, nine 'B' group riders - Bill, Brian N, Ed N, John G John M, Ken, Les and Terry, led by Norman, left Anita's cafe , turned left into School Hill, right under bridge into Nutfield Road, up the steep Cormongers Lane, across A25, down Fullers Wood Lane to Clay Lane. These lanes derive their names from the fine talc-like clay Fullers Earth or Fullers Clay dug from the local hillside and used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Into Kings Cross Lane, under M23 into Coopers Hill Road, Prince of Wales Road then right after The Dog and Duck into Green Lane, Axes Lane, crossing A23 at Salfords to Lodge Lane left into Meath Green Lane, right into Lee Street and Mill Lane. Over A217, Horsehill and Irons Bottom, left to Deanoak Lane, right into Smalls Hill Road to The Plough at Leigh where we found Mike Morley waiting, he had got "mislaid" somehow at Merstham!
After lunch back towards Brockham, Blackbrook, Punchbowl Lane, Pixham Lane, Mickleham, riders leaving homeward en route to Annie's at Leatherhead. Five stopped for tea then we went our various route home after a fine winters day. Norman
