A Group 1st June

Eight hearty souls set out in search of the 'Holy Flint' and it was not to long before Ged found it hidden by some mischievous creature. Unfortunately before this Mike who was back marking had a problem with his chain lost us when he missed a turn, lucky enough he phoned me and after a bit of cross talk and near miss we managed to meet up and rejoin the group only to find that greedy old Ged had found yet another flint but all repaired and off we set. Well would you believe it but he found a replica Holy Flint, maybe he had kept the first and threw it in front of his wheel. Ged chose to meet us in Godalming.

On our onward journey we found hills and narrow lanes taking us to Chilworth then through to Snowdenham lane and the heavens opened (possibly because we found the Holy Flint) up Alldens Lane got the heart pumping and after regrouping it was decided that we would miss out six or so of the miles of the trip and head straight to lunch to dry off.

Mike left us when we stopped, Ged arrived so seven for lunch, bit of a mixup with some orders but all well in the end. Mick left after lunch so six set off for a very early tea stop at Pinnocks in Ripley.  We all decided we would be heading back to Cobham so completing a loop 38.95 miles in total.

Many thanks to Mike B for back marking and everyone else for braving the journey.
