On a philtrum phreezing morning I (Terry) led Irene, Liz, Pam, Eddie and Norman from Cobham along Plough Lane to an interesting Pointers Road. After semi-circumnavigating the M25/A3 roundabout we used the cycletrack past frozen Boldermere to cross the A3 via the footbridge. Then via Pyrford Lock, Papercourt Lane and Tannery Lane to the Saddlers Arms at Send Marsh where we had reserved tables next to the fire ! After lunch Irene and Pam made their ways home, the remainder briefly rejoined the old A3 turning into Grove Heath Road. At the Ockham Road junction we made a brief detour to see the icicles formed by spray from cars due to a leaking pipe. The boarded-up Hautboy was passed (Lady Harberton may well be chuckling in her grave but I understand [from the internet, of course], that it may re-open, the locals would prefer a pub to offices). We were the only customers at Shoots (formerly Seymours) at Stoke d'Abernon, after which we went our separate ways. PS I have tickets for the Barn Dance on March 7, price £12 (under 18 free). PPS Vic tells me there is a bike jumble at Ripley on the same day.
