It was nice to be back at The Vineries Garden Centre for elevenses for the first time in about six months, but we had to drag ourselves away in the end, leaving behind Ed, Maureen, Lilian and Bob. We took a substantially off-road route to Guildford (the Effingham to East Horsley, East Horsley to West Horsley, West Horsley to Hungry Hill, and Burnt Common to Burpham sections all being on tracks or cycle routes).
Lunch at was at Stoke Park kiosk which seemed to offer everything we needed (except a pint). Over our food there was much debate over the next section of the ride (N223), and how to access it. Graham masterminded the operation, advised by Simon and Ray, and there were intense discussions while Keith, Terry and I looked on, but in the end the route was easily found and followed with only one wrong turning, and took us back out of Guildford and right to Burpham completely off-road, so thanks for the group effort.
From Burpham it was a straight run back to tea at Ripley. Thanks to all for your company and to Simon for back-marking.
