A Group 18th May

17 A's, led by Pete B, set off from Shepperton in fairly overcast, blustery, conditions. Fortunately the forecast rain held off till the evening and conditions warmed significantly as the day progressed. Through Chertsey, with a bit of trainspotting at the level crossing, and on over Chobham Common and Staple Hill. Dropping down through Chobham and past the, favourite of many, pub at Castle Green and so into Goldsworth Park. A circuit of the lake was followed by a brief stretch of the Basingstoke Canal before taking lunch at a busy Herbert Wells in Woking. Back on the canal path to the Woodham Lock and through Byfleet and past Pyrford Lock to Wisley and then across the old airfield. By now the leader was suffering from a dickey crank so Cobham Sainsburys was chosen for tea and then a welcome following wind home.
