Leaving Kingston we (8 of us) followed the Thames to Teddington Lock from where there is now a very pleasant tarmac surfaced path to Richmond Bridge. We then crossed the river and followed the path to the London Apprentice for our lunch. Afterwards our trip took us through Syon Park and then across Kew Bridge to take the tow path to Mortlake. It was here that Liz and I found that we had lost the others who, we guessed, must have carried on the tow path to Putney. We two decided to carry on through Richmond Park and home, not stopping for tea as Liz had somehow to get to Waterloo with the train drivers' strike on.
Not a bad turnout considering that we lost a few usual riders to the Tri-Vets but otherwise not one of my best days as leader.
Regards
John
