Easy Riders July 7th





Good turnout at Cobham. Weather overcast and somewhat cooler than of late. Fuzz led around twelve of us en route to lunch at the garden centre at Chessington, Peter with me stoking as usual on the tandem trike with Lynda, Roger, Ron, Mark, Chris, John C., Mike, plus a few more. Our first port of call was the cemetery at Stoke d`Abernon to have a look at the rather splendid memorial for John McAlpine. Having negotiated the many graves we pressed on to the parish church and a few more resting places in the hope of seeing some interesting brass rubbings within the church itself. This extra delight was not to be since the church was locked, Nevertheless a few 15th century gravestones caught our eager eyes so we pressed on to lunch at the garden centre where apart from good food they also stocked a favourite ale of mine TEA from The Hogs Back brewery. Peter and yours truly headed for home via Claygate and Esher.--------------Albert
