Gomshall - Leatherhead
Tillings at Gomshall was the centre of gravity for elevenses, where it was so noisy that you could hardly hear the till tinkle. Andy take note: cup of tea £1.95 - you would not have been happy. The Met Office severe weather warning for ice might have been a little over-egged, but with floods forecast for the afternoon, the C&M pow-wow decided that Leatherhead might be a wiser destination than Ewhurst. As we passed the River Mole on the way, we noted that the ice had thawed a little. Refuge was found at the Wetherspoons known as the Edmund Tylney, named we are told after the Master of Revels to Queen Elizabeth I and King James I, which had been converted into a flood relief centre, where beverages and all day breakfasts were provided to those forced out of their homes. As rain began to fall, we all set off for an early bath. The captain's log recorded 32 nautical miles.Jeff
