A little more detail...
Winter had definitely arrived - overcast, temperature hovering above zero all day. The route was to keep us guessing all day. In Thames Ditton we disentangled two Kingston Wheelers who'd inadvertently joined us. After Imber Court and Island Farm Road we went between the reservoirs to Walton. Passing under the bridge(s) and beside the contstruction site, we continued to Weybridge then Addlestone via Poets Corner. With tea at 60p, the Golden Cafe was packed and the cold ensured our stay was long. Eventually we were turfed out (politely). Stonehill and Sandpit Hall Roads were further snakes but after Chobham we took the familiar past Bisley to The Cricketers at Pirbright. We hadn't booked but no problem (only four other customers).
After an hour or so, the last of the food had been served and eaten and we were away to Fox Corner, Mayford and Old Woking. The next wriggle took us down Potters Lane to Send Hill and back to Tannery Lane. After Ripley we caught up with Paul and pere who'd been audaxing. Eleven for tea at Stoke D'Abernon. Just over 50 miles
