Most Wayfarers must be night owls as only eleven early birds (Graham, Angie,
Bernard, David A, Harry, John G, Norman, Rob, Stephanie, Toni, Tony) were
about for the 2008 Breakfast Run. The Dewsbury Gardens railway footpath was
closed forcing an unexpected and extended tour of the Worcester Park
suburbs. Next we passed close by Maisons Sharp et Dodd before heading up to
Headley and down Pebblecombe. Brockham, Parkgate, and the Newdigate back
road were preludes to the Rusper climb, and Old Holbrook was used for the
A264 dash into Horsham and The Lynd Cross aka Wetherspoon's. Here we were
joined for breakfast by independents Ray D and John B. After an decent
interval it was time to go. John G and Bernard had a plan (a paddle in
Brighton I seem to recall) and Ray had one too. Concensus was against an
all-day ride so we went over the golf course and under the A24 to emerge in
Warnham. After going under its station, we headed up the hill beside the
brickworks/landfill site. Norman was in for an eventful day, firstly going
AWOL near Horsham before brekkies, and secondly diverting here into a
private garden much to the owners' surprise after misinterpreting my
handsignal. Familiar roads through Capel, Newdigate and Dorking meant it was
five for tea at a crowded Denbies whilst the rest were for home. A warm day
with a tad more sun in the morning.
