A dull and dunk start but not actually raining, and Ed, Bernard P, Frank, Sandy, Brian, John B, Don and I set off for Brooklands via various paths and backwaters. After pausing for a photo stop at the Concorde model which used to grace the main entrance to Heathrow we continued through Byfleet then took Muddy Lane (which was anything but). Wet stinging nettles proved more of a difficulty than the various gates and barriers, but we were able to complete our passage without being intercepted by any local residents! Emerging at Wisley church we were now just round the corner from The Anchor, our lunch stop. Suitably refreshed, we crossed the canal and headed for West Byfleet, then picked up the towpath to Scotland Bridge. We took back streets to New Haw, then bypassed Addlestone by taking the footbridge at Coxes Lock to end up at Weybridge then followed the river to Walton where we went our various ways. By now, rather belatedly, the weather was starting to brighten up and it was becoming rather warm. Better late than never! Thanks all for your company and for enduring the nettles, and thanks to John B for back-marking!
