Sunday September 19 2010
With the start well to the east of Staines, I was made to lead to elevenses. A northern line took us through Esher, Hersham and Brooklands from whence a newish kissing gate on Muddy Lane brought us briefly to countryside. All too soon we were in Old Woking and by Mayford there were fifteen of us despite my emailed warning. Less two we headed over Pyle Hill into Guildford suburbia. In Wood Street Dave + 2 took the onroad branch whilst the rest paused beside the White Hart (closed for refurbishment! see 2009 gents) before tackling the Christmas Pie trail. Its fourth offroad section (ex Guildford to Alton line; last passengers: 1937) brought us to the White Hart at Tongham where we more than trebled the custom. Save a barked suggestion the return was simplicity itself (North Downs Way aka NCN 22) followed by A25/A246 to West Horsley where we disbanded. 65 miles door to door.
