Spring is here...so says the Met Office.
LAUGH OUT LOUD. 😂
I kinda expected not many would be out.....but with a combination of rain, rough stuff & hills.....what is there not to like?
If two's company, & three's a crowd...then we're having a party.🙌
The rain had stopped.
Dave, Simon & Colin joined me from café Barbera, Stoke D' Abernon across the Cobham Tilt & past the M25 services (having a quiet day, I suspect).
The main beneficiary of this weekend's closure of junc 10-11 would of been the environment & that can only be a good thing.
My tried and tested route took us to Bookham via the common (the rough stuff) but a few puddles weren't going to impede our progress.
We paused for a photo at the top of Bagden Hill.
Incidents to report:
The battery on my camera is depleted but by some miracle produced this picture. 😃
The "electric fence" here is either passing a very low current or is in fact switched off....& Simon lives to tell the tale.
After a comfort stop at Rykas.....Headley Lane/Lodgebottom Road (known locally as Little Switzerland) brought gradually up to Headley where it's not uncommon to see horses.
But I did feel a bit sad for these animals (one cart had a flat tyre)....but apparently they can easily pull a wheeled vehicle that is six times their own weight. 😲
Simon, who's recovering from a nasty chest infection, left us here for a more direct route to lunch.
We carried on Hurst Lane into Hurst Road & the unmade Motts Hill Lane to Epsom Lane North.
Across the Downs, Chalk Lane & The Assembly Rooms for lunch.
One of my least favourite 'spoons this, mainly because it's always so crowded & NOISY.
But this is where the majority of the club were to be found. 😉
Thanks to Colin & Simon for your company & Dave for backmarking (& your company also....ofc). 👍
