It was a funny old day, warm and sunny one minute then overcast, cool, and breezy the next, and there was worse to come... Anyway, nothing in the weather forecast deterred Graham, Bob, Ed, Lilian, Ray and me from meeting at Fairoaks, and we all duly set off for Farnborough, Bob by his own route, and made good time there. While having lunch we spotted the first signs of rain which no one, least of all the forecasters, had expected, or was prepared for. Naturally, it had really set in by the time we were ready to set off for home and we decided to hold off for a bit. This paid off, the rain quite quickly fizzled out, and we were able to execute our plan for a closer inspection of St Michael's Abbey, except that we didn't manage to get all that close! It was a good run back from there on with the rather strong breeze now on our tails but, nearing the planned tea stop, it began to drizzle again and I decided to push on. A shame about the rather mixed weather but thanks to all for your company.
