We set out from Shepperton Day Centre in cold but bright conditions including Ed, Ian, Julian, Will, Rob, Pete M, Pete B, Vic, Stephen, Tony, Grant, Frank C, Mike, John S and me. The conditions were such that off road riding along tow paths should be pleasant so this is what we were soon doing when we arrived at Walton bridge. From there it was tow path nearly all the way to Weybridge however some decided to go on the parallel road and we re joined at Jessamy road. Here Will gave some guidance on bypassing the town to pick up the Wey Navigation. This was a much pleasanter route than going through the town and the Wey navigation was just a short distance down the road from the River Wey Town Lock.
It was approx. 4.5 miles of quiet riding to Pyrford Lock via Coxes lock, New Haw, cross A318, Under M25 where The Basingstoke canal joins, cross the A245, Murrays bridge and Dodd's bridge. From Pyrford lock throgh Pyrford Green, Village and Common B332 left and next right soon brought us to Woking and Weatherspoons near the Station for lunch. It was quite busy there and popular with working people including Steve of C&M who appeared to be enjoying his lunch break.
We left about 1:45 leaving by the One Way System on the Dorking/Guildford Road
for Send and then Ripley via Tannery Lane and thereon the A3 cycle path to the Ockham Bites. After tea Tony decided to do a lap around the Horsley area, I wonder how many went with him, as my total miles was a mere 37.
