Before the route departs our collective memories...
This was easily the best Sunday of the year though it started chilly. That was soon rectified as Dave set off at a spirited pace. So it was Hampton Court, Hersham, Walton and along Walton Lane after an updated view of the bridge. From Addlestone a long climb to Longcross and beyond led onto a gentle descent into Windlesham and finally to Notcutts, Bagshot.
Most of the assembled dozen ground a way up the A30 to the Jolly Farmer (as was) where thankfully we parted left. Plunging into terra incognita for me, Heatherside, we were not long among sylvan surroundings before a familiar landmark appeared - the home of darts, Lakeside. A change of venue meant we reached the Old Wheatsheaf Frimley just after twelve! Despite soup cold and salty, we dined alfresco; in time to be joined by three laggards.
The way back was via Pirbright, West End, Burrowhill and Ottershaw for a leisurely tea in Cafe 2 Addlestone - around 55 miles door-to-door.
