Got to North Cheam to discover only Les (he deserves a medal for turning up in wet weather). We unanimously decided to head for Elleray Hall rather than Dorking and got there to discover Beryl's bike all alone outside. Inside we discovered Albert, Philip (looking very well) and the Squirrels. We enjoyed a leisurely coffee, watched a bit of line dancing and then donned the waterproofs for a short ride through Bushy Park, along the lower Sunbury Road, over Walton Bridge and down to The Weir.
Les and Beryl had lovely steak and mushroom pies with chips and peas and I had a tasty carrot and coriander soup, all cleaned their plates. On to the towpath where we would have been ok if we'd had paddles instead of pedals, it being a little like a tributary of the Thames rather than the towpath. However we pressed on for Hampton Court, then enjoying the puddles very much we continued on towpath to Kingston for tea (thank you Beryl).
