An unhealthy six took the train to Guildford 'Spoons where Dave was waiting. Plan A would have taken us along the Wey to the Cranleigh Line / Wey South Path / Downslink but was scuppered by a towpath closed near Guildford and a fallen tree. So Plan B took us up and over the A3100 to Peasmarsh.
After a quick halt to admire the aforementioned fallen tree we joined the Downslink. Bramley and Wonersh station saw us heading to Thorncombe Street and beyond passing now three horse sculptures. After the A281 briefly came Run Common Road where the boring badgers and great crested newts are gone. We now sought out the Farley road so as to enter Shamley Green from the northeast. Dave departed on a mercy mission to water his potatoes (or similar). After only 12 miles lunch was early with the already arrived Terry tucking in outside the Red Lion.
At Norley Common Pam and Terry were dispatched along the main road whilst I led the remnants on a pointless straight up (to Blackheath) and straight down (to Wonersh). Shalford was bypassed using the level crossing. In Guildford I offered to shepherd the diminished flock along the A3 path to Ripley and Pinnocks for tea. With several newbies in tow it was time to introduce them to Muddy Lane where the signpost was nowhere to been seen - do I have the only photographic evidence that it existed? Three became one at Lower Marsh Lane and 10 minutes later I was home. Almost 50 miles door to door.

Sorry to hear about your PC Graham. There were only 9 of us at lunch and I think 8 of us at 11s, so I think your list is complete.
Thank you for a very enjoyable and scenic ride.
