There was quite a gathering up at North Cheam this morning; most were waiting to go on the Mystery ride. Which left Norman and myself to cycle to Leatherhead Day Centre, where we met up with the rest of the group; plus 3 who didn't know to meet at N. Cheam!
I led, Beryl, Roger, Mark, Allan, Bill H., Fuzz, Bill, Ron and Ian, from the day centre over the footbridge and down Skinners Lane to Ashtead. Over the Common and down Manor Green to Longmead. We then crossed over to Green Lane and through Ewell Park, passed the playground, then a left over the newish gravel path to Ruxley Lane. We then made our way through Chessington, Claygate and down pass Squires at Long Ditton to Ye Olde Swan at Thames Ditton, where we had lunch. It has just been quite extensively refurbished and they still offer 2 main meals for under £10. We met Albert and the Squirrels there who were having their lunch. We got there a little later than usual; due to a leisurely coffee break and the distance being 12 1/2mls. But the service was friendly and quick, and the meals were good.
After lunch, Ron, Beryl, Roger and myself made our way through Bushey Park to The Pheasantry, where we had afternoon tea. While we were sitting outside, I had a phone call from Harold. The reception wasn't very good; but we said our 'hello s'. We returned via the park to Kingston, where we made our own ways home. I clocked 34mls. The weather stayed dry; but very windy.
