A Team Wednesday 5th September
Our group of 11 left Cobham BL at
11-15 comprising of Mark, Paul, Peter,
Rob, Simon, Colin, John, Vic and Tony D.
At a briskish pace we set
off on the well trodden route to Plough
Lane, Ockham, Hungry Hill (it wasn’t closed) to East Clandon but not up Staple
Lane, but right along the A246 for the short ride to Merrow, then up to
Newlands on the quieter Trodds Lane.
Re grouping at the top it was a
very fast descent down the newly resurfaced A25 to Abinger Hammer where right up
the steady climb through Sutton, Holmbury St Mary to Forest Green, continuing
on to Wallis Wood and Okewoodhill and lunch at The Punchbowl Inn.
A better day to lunch in the
garden you couldn’t wish for, service was a tad slow but all agreed, well worth
the wait for the excellent meals.
Watered and fed, it was off
across the A29 along Weare Street, this familiar beautiful quiet road is ruined
by the bad surface in many places, then to Ockley, Capel, Newdigate, Blackbrook
and Pixham Lane for tea at Annie’s in Leatherhead, just ordering our tea and
cakes before the arrival of the B group.
40 miles from Cobham to tea, for
me 76 miles from door to door quite possibly similar to many of our group.
