17 of us made our way to the Rose and Crown at Woodside for lunch to-day. Our route was via St Anne's Hill, Chertsey, through Virginia Water to Virginia Water Lake in Windsor Park. There we turned left to cycle around the lake passing The Water Fall and The Temple before exiting at Blacknest Gate. Right along Mill Lane, another right into Buckhurst Road leading into Sunninghill Road before turning left to Woodside.
Our hosts were friendly and efficient - but for whatever reason - two lunches didn't appear until others had finished eating?! Hence it was too late when we left the pub to go to my planned tea stop in Walton so we made our way to Squires, Shepperton/Halliford?
Our return was along a well worn route! Entering Windsor Park at Cranbourne Gate, past The Long Walk and exiting at Bishopsgate.
Englefield Green, Prune Hill, Thorpe, Chertsey Bridge, through Shepperton village to tea. 12 of us made the most of the pleasant weather and lingered long over tea, cakes and chats!!
My thanks to Terry as back marker and Tim for his photos and mapping...and to all folks who were on to-days ride.
