The cunning plan was to meet at, a new venue, the Ohanas Cafe Bistro in Chertsey. We were low on numbers, which was not surprising due to the weather forecast.
Pete
B was all ready supping coffee when I arrived, then Ray, Liz, soon to
be followed by Pam and (Carolyn who just came to 11's. It's a great
little cafe, once a Butchers as the old meat hooks and other decor
showed, Coffee was good and lots of chatter. Then the decision as to our
next move.
The
plan was, Moss End GC, just near Hawthorn Hill, but I decided to have a
shorter ride to Trumps Green and another new Venue I had recently
spotted, the Armadillo Coffee Club, a very nice cafe with good food.
So,
up the hill of Ruxbury road, the one next to St Ann's hill, then down
and under the bridge, but no, under the bridge was flooded! So back to a
cheeky trip up St Ann's hill and the Thorpe road, turning into the
tongue twister of Lyne lane to Lyne crossing the road to the end, then a
left into Trump's (not Donald) Green road and an early lunch.
At Lunch
Another
great little cafe, with lovely surroundings, nice coffee and food. A
nice layout inside, but it couldn't take a large group. Now to head
home, with a tailwind, up to Virginia water and a right turn and a very
speedy ride to Chertsey in the rain and very strong blustery winds. No
tea stop today and a gradual dispersal of the group, with a few final
departures at Hampton and home. Whatsapp confirmed everyone was home
safely. Great to use two new coffee/food stops. We will get to Moss
End, maybe next week.
Thanks to those who did turn out.
Tony..
