Easy Riders - September 14th 2011

Quite busy at Leatherhead day centre this morning. Including 4 riders who didn't read the Sou'Wester correctly!
Eric Ashford came in for coffee and a chat; haven't seen him since the Dieppe Raid.

I led a dozen or so down past Leatherhead station, passing the Crem. and continuing along the pleasant countryside road which leads to Woodlands Hotel. We turned right edging into Stoke D'Abernon and The Tilt. Another right turn at Fairmile Lane and came out at the old A3 road. Here we turned at the lights and made our way passed Blackhills and turning left at West End Lane, came to our lunch stop - The Prince of Wales, near Garsons Farm. Mark was already there, after having to put his holiday on hold due to medical reasons.

The pub was pretty lively inside and it was just after midday. A little wait at the bar then we all made our way outside and ate in the sunshine. They do nice food here. After a leisurely rest, Beryl, Roger, Norman, Ron, Peter, David and myself made our way up through Esher, passed The Bear pub and left into the housing estate which leads down to Claygate. On to Chessington, we visited The Kings Centre. A popular stop - especially on a Wednesday. 90p for homemade cake and tea. Also, on sale assorted homemade jams. Bill M. came in not long after we had arrived. After chatting and looking at my french photos of Massif Central, we made our different ways home.
