A Group 24th March


Mention of the W-word frightened all but the committed into joining Gill leaving just twelve for the A ride. After a shakedown in Shepperton Village, we continued to Chertsey Bridge and across the Meads. The backways of Addlestone, New Haw and Byfleet were uncovered along with some countryside just before Pyrford Church. Send and Potter's Lane brought us back down to earth and the A3 and a familiar way into the crowded centre of Guildford. As usual service at Wetherspoons was prompt and inexpensive.

The Wey Navigation towpath went well....until the wood sculptures! From there the slipping and sliding forced a hurried risk assessment with Vic on the A320 bridge. Thus we jinked north on a convenient cycle route to the Jacob's Well turnoff and from there reached the A3 again. Turning right after the Jovial Sailor, we passed greening fields, Lady Halberton's Revenge and Mucky Duck and then sped down into Cobham. Once again Sainsbury's cafe revealed the colour of our silver with goodbyes said around four.
