David S. had arranged a fun day out for C group on Wednesday. We came out of Molesley day centre, turned left, and a couple of back roads to get to the river. There we waited a few minutes for the ferryman to come over and take us and bikes to the other side at Hampton. When I saw the small size of the ferry, (like a row boat), I was a bit apprehensive. So, I decided to take the second trip! David's daughter, wife Wendy , Fuzz and Mark were the brave ones to try it out. Their bikes were put slanted at the back (no fastening) and they took their seats. As they set off, a large ferry came by; us others on land were waiting for the ripples; but to our surprise the small ferry was very stable. We were all safely on the other side with 3 trips. It was fun and the first time for many of us. Ron took some photos - to see at a later date.
We then took a side turning into Bushy Park. We came out at Teddington and took the road opposite and made our way to Richmond Park. It was getting towards lunchtime now, so decided to stop at The Ram in Kingston for lunch. It was quite full, being 1pm, but we managed to get enough chairs around a table and for some, enjoyed their delicious fish and chips. We saw Dawn D.and her girls also enjoying lunch there. Our afternoon stop was at Yummy Mummies in Stonleigh. Although it was a cloudy day, I think we all got home before it rained.
