A Group - May 5

Picture from Pete Barnard
On a bright and brisk first Wednesday in May, albeit a mite too chilly to cast a clout, 17 A's set off from Cobham with a scenic diversion along Plough Lane and Old Lane, followed by an enforced diversion along the Drift (railway bridge closed) to East Horsley. Up Chalk Lane and then climbing through the bluebell woods (unfortunately a week or so before their prime) on to Netley Heath. The fast decent of Coombe Bottom was followed by the usual fast run through Albury and Chilworth and so to Wonersh, picking up the old railway line (Downs Link) to take us into the back roads of Godalming. Suitably refreshed at the Jack Phillips, the return was largely off road, along Dagley Lane and following the Wey into Guildford and then through the nature reserve near Stoke Lock before joining the familiar path alongside the A3 at Burpham and so back to Ockham Bites for tea and departure home.

It was especially good to explore the Downslink between Wonersh and Guildford and the nature reserve between the A3 and River Wey. Thanks, Pete.
