Good to see Albert with a lightweight racing tricycle, looking very nifty as he set off on a practise run with Dennis and Bill. We departed Addlestone southwards, cutting through Liberty Rise to cross the M25, through Rowtown, crossing the Basingstoke Canal on Scotland Bridge Road, down Pyrford Road, then a crafty left through Warren Farm Mobile Home Park, turning right down an alley just before the locked gates, through some woodland to Walsham Lock. Here we were videoed for posterity by Ron before continuing south-easterly entering Ripley by the cricket green and a few yards from lunch at the Half Moon. Landlord very accomodating and opened back gates to allow bikes to be parked securely (after we had mistakenly parked them all within a very pretty white picket fence which he informed us was a neighbours front garden!). Good lunch, pity this pub has no garden as they were very friendly and provided food at good prices. We then returned to the Cricket Green and headed north east to join Mill Lane and through Ockham Mill to rejoin the Wey Navigation. A right turn at Pyrford Lock and then left opposite Wisley Church to go under the M25 and join Sanway road, Church Road, back down into Weybridge by main roads, small detour down alleyways across Churchfields Rec and onto tow path. Tea at Walton Bridge. Thanks to Ron, Fuzz, Linda, Beryle, Roger, Chris, Liza and Jono for a really enjoyable day.
