As Albert attended a funeral today, I was volunteered to do the write-up.
After our 11's at Leatherhead, which included home-made cakes by Sonia, (as she has recently had a big birthday), and sips of Indian whisky from Harold (to give us extra energy); we were a baker's dozen. Mike, our leader; and Helga, Lynda, Beryl, Pat and Bill, Bill H, John C, Charles, Mark, Roger, Dennis and Harold. We went past Mill Pond; where we saw a swan and 4 signets enjoying the good weather, to Fetcham and into Bookham Common (tunnel car park). Into Effingham Common to Old Lane. It was a nice track, off road, before getting to the A3 foot-bridge near Wisley Gardens. It would be nice if they made a gulley over this bridge, but after getting all our bikes over, it was a nice ride down through Wisley Village to Pyrford; where we stopped for lunch at The Anchor Inn. It was looking very busy so Mike went in to ask what the waiting time for food was. We were told 20 mins, so decided to go in and order. I was pleasantly surprised how organised the waiting staff were and our meals came very promptly. After an enjoyable lunch, we took the towpath opposite the Anchor to make our way to Ripley. We passed Newark Priory and the house of John Dunne. This was a new route to some of us and a good one. We came past the Seven Stars then made our way to Cobham Day Centre via Ockham. I phoned the day centre in advance, so they had tea and muffins ready for when we got there. lAfter tea we all went our separate ways home.
Bye for now,
Lynda.
