We left Walton-on-Thames day centre (some 15 of us).. for Woking with the intention of doing this part of the ride mainly off road.This was along side the Thames as far as the outskirts of Weybridge and then on to the Wey Navigation Canal and stopping at New Haw where the above photo was taken.Here we discovered that we had lost four riders.We continued on to the junction with the Basinstoke Canal which took us to the outskirts of Woking then a short way by road to Weatherspoons for Lunch.Here the four missing riders were already seated they having found the roads more to their taste.
After a quickly served lunch we got away early 1.15 and set off again via Old Woking,Send,Send Marsh,by passing Ripley by back lanes to Downside Medicine Garden the intended tea stop.This unfortunately was closed so after some discussion it was agreed that Squires at Stoke D'Abernon would be our best bet.
Tea was taken their and with the late sun shining we departed for our separate ways.My total mileage was a mere 35.
