B Group Dec 19

In the absence of the scheduled leader, I led Jill, Liz, Cliff and Les on Wednesday's B ride from Walton by way of Hampton, Bushey Park, Teddington, Fullwell, River Crane Walk, Knoller Gardens, Twickenham 6th Form College, Twickenham Rugby Ground and the picturesque West Middlesex Drainage/Sewage Works to Old Isleworth and our lunch stop, the Town Wharf pub overlooking the Thames. Amazingly, even at this time of year the pub was pretty empty (how do they ever make any money?) and our excellent meals were served very quickly.

In the afternoon we took the Thames-side path southwards on the Twickenham side of the river to Teddington Lock where we crossed to the Ham side and took the tow path to Kingston. Here Jill stopped for some late Xmas shopping, while the rest of us returned home via Berrylands (sewage works are my specialty) and New Malden.
