In what was promised to be a wet and windy day, according to the forecast, I decided to make the ride fairly short and leisurely as possible. Encountering the 'B' group at Walton Bridge they having forestalled us on the route to Weybridge, we took the towpath descending via the steps rather than a right turn on the road. Continuing on the towpath I was glad that the 'B' group had got away.
In Weybridge the luck was not going to last as due to the intensity of traffic Vic and Jeff got separated and were not seen again until lunch at Woking.
The route taken was quite direct parallel to the A317 over the river Wey joining the A317 shortly before the junction to Addlestone. Beyond Addlestone we crossed the M25 and turned left to Woodham o the B385 and to Woking on a triangular route which took us alongside the railway line to Weatherspoons.
After a normal economic satisfying meal I thought, we continued on at a slightly brisker pace once we were on the way to Old Woking. At this point we turned right onto the A247 to cross the A3 and immediately left on to a by road to Hungry Hill, Church End and to the Black Swan at Ockham where nine of us stopped for 3's. The nine were Pam, Will, Jeff, Vic, Pete M, John S, John B, Mike P and me. Pete Barnard had other commitments and kept going, we followed on going our own routes home after a comfortable rest and chatter with our tea.
