Hookwood - Newchapel - Fanny's
Epsom's Tea Hut was a first for me meaning I missed the start! Apparently we all
passed through Tadworth, down Pebblecombe, and into Betchworth. Here I diverged
taking in the festively dressed teddies of Lonesome Lane before catching up with
the other post Xmas revellers in Tesco Hookwood.

| The rump of the ride at Fanny's |
Donning a pilot's cap, I
steered a course through Horley's shopping precinct, under the railway and into
the countryside beyond. With a brisk westerly we were soon at the Bones Lane
turn and shortly afterwards reached the Blacksmiths Head where a sign of times:
our eight = two-thirds of the customers. Many settled for bar snacks: fatty
and/or starchy like melted cheese on toast. The way back was Horne, Outwood and
Bletchingley (easier on the legs than Tilburstow is my excuse). Rockshaw for our
trimmest and fittest three, Merstham for our three tortoises was the prelude to
a rendezvous at Fanny's. The recent rains were much in evidence but the day
itself was dry with perhaps a hint of sun in the morning; 60 miles door to door.
