Nuthurst June 17 2007

A baker's dozen minus one showed at Beare Green on a day during which the sun made only occasional showings. It stayed dry but steamy all day. Bob, Don and David W were there for the tea but the rest were out for the day. The group had come over the top to Betchworth and, now swelled to nine (Keith, Andy, Daphne, Ed, Graham, Irene, Jake, Pam and Pete), continued into Capel, past the Royal Oak in Friday Street before heading down the Rusper Road into the centre of Horsham. After several roundabouts and a moment's hesitation on Hammerpond Road, we went south to Copsale and Maplehurst before turning north to the Black Horse, Nuthurst for lunch. The return was through St Leonards Forest to Colgate and Rusper and finally Capel (again) for cakes and tea at the church. It was Open Gardens week so many houses were decorated with scarecrows and other "stuffed" figures. Most enterprising and ingenious as there are no prizes!
