It was a hot start but Bob, Graham, Tony, Terry, Ray, Ed, Ken, Vic and I all met for elevenses at Fairoaks. All except Bob and Ken continued on the rest of the ride. In view of the exceptionally hot weather, we opted to do the first part only of the planned route to Camberley, and stop instead for an early lunch at The Sun at Windlesham. By a fortunate coincidence, a good part of the route was along shady lanes, and there was even the chance, surprisingly taken up only by me, for a cooling foot spa in Pennypot ford!
It was far too hot to sit in the full sun in the garden at The Sun so we stayed indoors. As ever at this pub, the welcome was friendly, the service good, the prices reasonable, the choices wide, and the portions large! Because of the shortened morning route, we were early getting away from lunch and had plenty of time to linger over an early tea and an ice cream or two at Great Cockrow, where the garden was relatively shady, before going our separate ways home, or in furtherance of our horticultural endeavours!
Thanks to all for your company and to Tony for back-marking.

I checked out Muddy lane on my homeward ride. It is quite rideable but beware the odd bramble. At the Wisley end both gates were closed and locked and there was no way round the side. I laid the bike down and managed to slide it under the large gate then scrambled over.
