Brian kindly suggested we could go for a ride so we met at the Young Street /A24 roundabout in dry but not very promising conditions. Skirting Leatherhead Brian led us along Lower Road to Bookham where we turned right at the squareabout. Soon after passing Bookham station we left the main road to tackle Bookham Common. The tracks were quite rideable and soon we emerged at Effingham Junction.
We then headed south to Effingham, noting the newish cafe Layla's was closed (well worth a visit when it reopens). Brian chose to continue UP High Barn Road and beyond, I chose Beech Avenue, passable for peds and cyclists. We met up at the crossroads before descending misty Whitedown to the not very busy A25. We turned off Coast Hill into Balchin's Lane where the lady's weavery samples were on display and shortly stopped to admire the alpacas.
We continued on N22 to Hugh ('Bertie') Broom's Miltoncourt Farm, noting he had recently had some of his farm roads concreted - a distinct improvement. Briefly joining the A25 again, I was almost home, Brian had to decide whether to stop at Ryka's or not. Thanks for your company, Brian
