Grant’s Run 20th Feb 08
On a nasty foggy in your bones morning 17 left Claygate, we didn’t go far Grant the leaders rear tyre blew outside Esher, holed in two places a nail or similar right through, tyre off the rim. New tube quickly inserted and off into the mist and cold again my nose continually being wiped! Two peeled off Ian & Frank Powney. Through Cobham to Hungry Hill, Send, back of Ripley slight hickup at Old Woking but made it into Woking under the railway station pedestrian subway to Wetherspoons ‘H G Wells’ for lunch. 15 of us Grant, Pete M, Vic, Rob, Frank C, Pete B, Ray, Ed, Jason, Tony, D’it, John Scott, Mike M, Graham, Irene, Neil. Out into the slightly cleared mist after lunch following the cycle route to West Byfleet over the Canal and eventually by intuition followed the route as planned , being mocked for instance by John Scott for being lost to arrive at Watson’s Bakery at Shepperton. Bad news “the kitchen is closed” Good news “Tea etc at take away prices can be consumed within” Now only 9 of us. After coffee and cakes 5 of us followed Pete M on a diverse route to Hampton Court , Chessington and home
