Sunday 23 March 2014

This is for comple(a)tists so I'll be brief.

The day turned out to be better than forecast. Afternoon rain never materialized so the only downers were a chilly westerly from start and two hailstorms during stage two. From the off at Hampton Court, Dave took a direct route (Molesey, Poets' Corner, Longcross) to Bagshot though a brief detour onto Walton's towpath guarantees that several bikes will be cleaned before Mothers' Day. Stage two was again direct, A30 to the Jolly Farmer roundabout, B3015 to Deepcut and Lakeside, then across the tracks to Farnborough North. We were settled in the "Tilly Shilling" Farnborough early, around 1220. With no votes for Squires Knaphill, stage three reversed to Deepcut then took the road to Pirbright. Next we headed north through Bisley and West End to Chobham and Burrowhill; our target was the Farm Shop, Lyne. A new stop, this proved to be smallish with toilet keys available on request!

Around 55 miles door to door.
