Some days are action packed and some are not; this one sat firmly in the latter camp. On a breezy and initially overcast day Ed led semi-regulars (Daphne, Pete, Frank, Francoise, and Stephanie) down Pebblecombe and through Brockham, Leigh and Norwood Hill to Hookwood Tesco - a mistake soon rectified. At Horley Waitrose they joined the newly arrived Graham. Only Ed and Graham were out for the day so next it was down NCN 21 to the world marbles capital, left around Crawley and up to Turners Hill. Less then three miles further on lay the lunch stop, The Cat, West Hoathly. More accurately lunch was eaten in the churchyard with drinks afterwards at the Cat. The only memorable incident of the day was a buzzard flying in the valley behind the church. Back it was to Turners Hill then straight on to Crawley Down. We took the back road to the Hedgehog followed by Downlands Lane to Smallfield. Offroading along the Surrey Cycleway led us back to Horley and Leigh. Tea was at Brockham Church where Irene, Pam and Mike Morley were already enjoying the fare in the ever improving though still windy conditions. Around 75 miles.
