The Plan
The good intent this Wednesday is to head due south from Walton Day Centre via Leatherhead, to renew our acquaintance with the gentle clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages on the rustic A25. Lunch is planned for The Jolly Farmers at Buckland, between Dorking and Reigate. Distance is about 18 miles with no hills. A short-circuit after lunch should take us to Dorking or Leatherhead for tea.
However, the faint-hearted should not look at the weather forecast for Wednesday. The Met Office has issued three yellow warnings for Surrey. One is for snow and ice a.m. until 12.00, followed by squally rain from 12.00 and then strong winds gusting up to 65mph from 3.00p.m. Please choose your wardrobe accordingly.
Needless to say, the forecasters admit to some uncertainty; nonetheless it might be wise to take the plan with a small pinch of salt. I'm sure that a consensus will quickly emerge.
