On a windless, sunless and almost rainless (later) day I (Terry) led Francoise and Frank, Gill, Jane and David, Judy, Liz, Pat, Bernard, Brian G, Charles, Cliff, Gary, Harold, John M, Mike, backmarker Norman (thanks), Ray H, Robin and Roger from Weybridge across Brooklands noting the VC10 at the museum (I remember seeing the first one take off), and also a short stretch of the race track.
Passing through Byfleet led to the very dry Muddy Lane, Wisley pedestrian bridge and the airfield where two people were expertly flying (and filming) a model aeroplane (it looked like a Vampire). No time to watch - onwards to West Horsley, noting Bill Matthews eating a lonely lunch in a bus shelter then the hill climbing began with Shere Road leading to Peeble Hill followed by the swift descent of Combe Bottom.
After turning left onto the A25 we soon reached the lunch stop at The Compasses, Gomshall where we dined very well alongside the Tilling Bourne and the not very busy A25. After lunch we headed south to Burrows Cross then via Hoe Lane, Leith Hill, Coldharbour and Dorking to the (closed) Blue Cafe at Leatherhead - so we went to Annie's.
