B Group Aug 19th

What a lovely day! Especially in the morning before it got too hot. 10 of us left the Douglas Brunton Centre, in Caterham and set off northwards. After crossing the A22 at Norman's request we struggled up Succombs Hill (which ought to be called Succombs Hill and a half). Only Charles made it to the top without walking. At Hamsey green we turned off Limpsfield Rood and had a couple of miles through Kings Wood which was nice albeit on an unmade road. Straight across the main Road and then I got a bit lost (again) in the maze of suburban roads which meant a mile on Gravel Hill, then through Shirley to Crystal Palace. We lost Norman at some point but when we got to my house he was there already. We had drinks, swims, barbeque, strawberries, etc. All very nice (even though I say it myself!). I led them through Crystal Palace Park as far as Streatham from where they knew the way back.

Regards
Bernard
