Dorney - Littleworth - Wraysbury
Warm enough to dine outside + no room inside!

A cohort of great worth outside the Blackwood Arms at Littleworth

Transport thoughtfully provided
The horses weren't using it










Dave assembled his troops at Hampton Court, though I first saw his platoon at Dorney Court, where morning tea was served in a marquee. Several layers were peeled off before we set off in warm sunshine for the morning's yomp to Littleworth Common. Pleasant lanes led us upward between Taplow and Burnham to our well hidden lunchtime venue of the Blackwood Arms; fully booked inside but with space outside. On leaving we fortunately had no need for the emergency ambulance in attendance. Our return was through Burnham Beeches to by-pass Slough for an early tea at the Liquid Leisure water sports centre in Wraysbury. Soon after resuming our return journey, a red traffic light alerted me  that I had left my shoulder bag at the tea stop. I therefore bade farewell to the group, returned to recover my impedimenta and then head homeward, where the Cateye recorded a round trip of 78 miles. Our thanks to Dave for a most enjoyable ride.
