Run closer to midsummer this year, the ride from Fleet .attracted eleven riders.On a near perfect day,all sunshine,no rain,we followed a route through Winchfield,
Phoenix Green,Dipley(where we stopped to view a beautifully placed house on the Whitewater River) to Mattingly. Thence to Chandlers Green,Stratfield Saye,
West End Green and Silchester for lunch. at the Calleva Arms. After lunch a casual saunter led us to see some of the sights of Calleva Atrebatum,the amphitheatre,the 12th century church and a section of the Roman wall. Then followed Bramley,where we inspected the wall paintings in the church and paid our respects at the grave of Lisa Meitner,one of the nuclear physicists associated with Otto Hahn and Ernest Rutherford.From here we returned by a different route
to Stratford Saye and thus our outward route back to Winchfield,Dogmersfield and Church Crookham for tea at Redfields, before dispersing by our various
vehicles,even bicycles! Vic

Did anybody go by train at all?
Thanks Vic for a most enjoyable ride on virtually traffic- and pothole -free roads.
Several caught trains , Pete. If I hadn't succumbed to the charms of a certain Least Young Lady by catching an earlier train, I would have seen Tornado at Surbiton. C'est la vie !
4 people were at Surbiton but decided not to board the 10am train in case there was nobody at Fleet!
