Eighteen of us set off from Cobham on a blustery but sunny day. Regrouping became compulsory when we turned into Plough Lane and found the road blocked by someone reversing a trailer ( + boat) into the yard behind the pub. Then through Ockham to Hungry Hill Lane where we turned into Tythebarns Lane and directly into the headwind.
At the Send roundabout we took the redundant lane of the old A3 down to Woodhill and then Potters Lane rejoining the A247 at Cartbridge. At Mayford, Hook Hill Lane was closed so we carried on to Saunders Lane, then right into Blackhorse Road. A right turn at Knaphill Lights and then a short run via Barrs Lane to the Grove at Castle Green.
We were very efficently served with generous portions and ready to leave by 1:45. A gentle climb from Chobham up Staple Hill brought us to Longcross and now the wind was behind us all the way to Walton - down Trumpsgreen Road, a detour through Lyne village and over Chertsey Bridge. In heavy traffic at Walton we were persuaded by Vic to walk down the steps and follow the river round to the Arts Centre. It was only 2:45 and fifteen stopped for tea. Unfortunately cake supplies were low and we wiped out them out of flapjack as well.
