Good turnout at Weybridge. Weather dry and not so cold as of late. Stephanie led around ten of us en route for The Four Horseshoes at Chobham; Mark, Bill, Fuzz, Harold, Beryl, Allan, Phil, Ron, Roger and myself through Weybridge car park, then past St. James church to the Quadrant, then along the old road by the canal, through Poet`s Corner into Addlestone where we crossed the level crossing,then left up Garfield Road to Crockford Park Road with the lights in our favour we entered Liberty Lane at the end of which we took the footbridge over the M25 to Hare Hill to Ottershaw. After passing the cricket common we went left at Foxhills and a good downhill on Stonehills Road. Then it was a right turn down Gracious Pond Road into Red Lion Road, then crossing over the main road and arriving at our lunch stop. (see attachment). The food was excellent and there was nothing wrong with the beer. As the return route was to pass near my place I invited one and all to tea. In the event they arrived before me as I lost them on a spot of offroad near Fairoaks airfield and landed up at the end of Martyr`s Lane with quite a bit of climbing to do before reaching the old homestead. Happily they did not have long to await my arrival and Dennis was there also. There were ten of us crammed into the dining room. Stephanie helped serve up the tea and cake so we managed with just eight chairs! Both she and Fuzz insisted on washing up and I enjoyed the company. Let`s hope we can do it more often ----- Albert
