B Group - 25th January

Nine of the B group braved the cold temperature and some mist and fog and headed off in the direction of Windsor Great Park via Chertsey and Virginia Water. Being a small group the ride flowed, which was beneficial as it kept us all moving and therefore somewhat warmer.

We soon arrived at the South car park where we entered into the park, making our way to the Bishopsgate entrance. En route we stopped to have a photo opportunity and a ‘comfort break’ at the large statue of the Prince Consort.

A short ride to the pub, just out side the entrance to the park, the pub was warm and welcoming.  The Fox and Hounds is somewhere that we have passed many a time but not frequented. Food was served swiftly and service was excellent, well recommended.

Leaving the pub we took Wick Lane then Wick Road and made our way back to Virginia Water by way of Englefield Green. Just after the station at VW we turned right then left down Bridge Lane and onto Lyne Crossing Road, which enabled us to cross over the M25 and proceed in the direction of Chertsey Bridge.

The original plan was for afternoon tea to be in Squires in Upper Halliford, however the remaining five that cycled into Shepperton soon decided to change that and follow Ed into a nice café at the end of Shepperton Village.

Thanks as usual to those that marked corners, and also to David for back marking.
