An eventful day starting with Lynda (the cat flattener) being knocked off her bike by a ginger tom. Lynda although somewhat shaken up and a little bruised recovered and bravely rallied around to continue on the ride (poor pus lost one of his 9 lives but scampered off unscathered we think)
On arriving at Teddington we found Fuzz OBE (Over B***** Eighty) with his bandaged foot celebrating his birthday - congratulations Fuzz hope you had a good one.
A rather large group, in excess of 26, left Teddington heading through Strawberry Hill via Twickenham to the tow path and on to Richmond.
We continued to Islewoth through Syon Park, Brentford then crossed over Kew Bridge before joining the tow path once more on our way to Mortlake.
Lunch was taken at the Ship Inn (next to the old brewery) highly recommended, a very friendly and accommodating staff, with excellent food.
After lunch to our dismay we found the tow path had disappeared , engulfed by the river, however we managed to escape, without snorkelling equipment, through Mortlake and on to Richmond Park.
Tea stop was at the YMCA (the old Hawkers site) before setting off on our separate directions homeward.
My thanks to Gill as back-marker (nice red hat)
I clocked up 31 miles
Regards
