Farncombe – The Sands – Newland’s Corner
On a warm and sunny morn, eight
found their way to Farncombe Boat House for tea/coffee and a jolly good bacon
roll. Don and Dave then turned tail, while Richard led off for The Sands with four
in tow and Bob as usual devising his own mysterious route. Farncombe Hill
provided a bracing start on a journey via Hurtmore, Puttenham and Seale along
some lovely Surrey lanes to the Barley Mow at
The Sands.
Steph chose the crab and avocado
salad while the rest skulked in the trees and sandwiched out of sight. The beer
was dear. Our restart was via Waverley Abbey, followed by some map stops and
head scratching as Richard resisted the magnetic field of Farnham in favour of
Tilford. We then made an arc via Rushmoor and Thursley to Godalming, where Ed
was lost to the lure of Wetherspoons. After a stretch along the A3100 the rest
branched off for tea at Newlands Corner, while I headed on to Guildford
and home. Our thanks to Richard for a pleasant ride and for me some 73 miles in
the legs.
