17 B's set off from Fairoaks on a cloudy but mild Autumn day, past Chobham and Castle Green before taking the (new to most) Romany Road quite ridable off-road through Chobham Golf Course. Past Bisley, with the sound of rifle fire rattling in our ears, and down to Pirbright. Turning back towards home we took a brief detour round Brooklands Cemetery, noting the magnificent Italian Family Mausoleums but having to leave our search for the Military Cemetery until next time. Unfortunately the back gate we have used in the past now appears to be permanently locked (although there is a hole in the wall that could be used) and so we took the Basingstoke Canal for a short way before turning south past Worplesdon to our destination at Guildford Wetherspoons. Suitably refreshed it was the turn of the Wey Canal, now basking in beautiful Autumn sunshine, and some off-road parallel to the A3 to take tea at Ockham Bites and thence home.
Thanks to Terry for being the back marker.
