We had a very good turnout at Cobham with somewhat warmer weather and a slight breeze.. Having been nominated to lead I made for The Anchor at Bookham. Among our number was Bill H., Fuzz, Roger, Lynda, Beryl, Mike, Cliff (having a rest from B group), Ron, Jonno and Lisa with Dennis, Deanne, John C., with one or two more. Being front man, I started off at a slow pace which (for me) is almost motionless) and took the well tried route over Downside Bridge Road, Downside Common with the little chapel and well maintained village pump, then under the motorway to Bookham Common where, halfway we had a short wait for the group to catch up. Upon regaining the tarmac we had a gentle climb to Bookham where, at the crossroads, we left the picnickers at the church while the remainder pressed on to the pub. After a pleasant meal most of the others rejoined us when, returning by the same route we had tea at Cobham day centre. Jonno entertained us with a few popular tunes on the resident piano. Lynda had kindly warned them of our arrival. I really must get some phone numbers if I am to do the job properly. However I managed to get over 21 miles in--------Albert
