Sunday 9 March

What a beautiful day, really warm with virtually no wind.

Eleven left Wetherspoons Guildford for Puttenham by climbing Sandy Lane, then dropping into Littleton and up the steep Farncombe Hill. A steady ride through Hurtmore and Shackleford and along Lombard Street brought us to Suffield Lane which climbs steadily to a top car park and gives a lovely ride to the front door of “The Good Intent”.
The food was very good and served quickly; we were on our way within the hour. Forsaking any mud, we stuck to the B3000 descending Hook Lane, Puttenham Heath to Down Lane. We had time to look at  the “very interesting” Watts Mortuary Chapel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_Mortuary_Chapel) before climbing on the currently closed lane past Watts Gallery and up to the A31. Here we crossed over and went down an alleyway into Onslow Village and thus into Guildford where 10 continued to West Clandon G.C. for teas and cakes. Finally home our separate ways.

Thank you all very much for a lovely day. Irene

PS Plough Lane Cobham is now open but "fly tipped".
