I don't fully understand Wetherspoons pricing structure and today's £1.04 for limitless hot drinks (The Whispering Moon, Wallington) appears outstanding value in this day & age...& the "white coffee" is perfectly drinkable.
The location was previously a cinema & opened as a 'Spoons in 1992. Plenty of old pictures adorn the walls including one of child actress Shirley Temple !
Nice to see outgoing C&M General Secretary, Graham making the journey from Kingston to see us off & 10 went due south up to Oaks Park, passing some chatty MTB'ers on the way.
The café here has recently been extended & it was busy with locals soaking up the sun on this Bank Holiday weekend.
After the fast descent it was up How Lane & a short cut to avoid Coulsdon town centre & up (again) to Farthing Downs to where Pinkie left us, followed shortly by Keith.
Past Chaldon church, and a very fast descent of Whitehill Lane to Bletchingley.
Being 1pm, stomachs were rumbling & I decided to patronise Lamingtons in the High Street where we've been coming since 2010.
The guy at front of house was so welcoming and it was like travelling back in time in this quaint little tea room.

When we emerged from this time capsule, the skies had clouded over & there was intermittent rain as we travelled south to join the track through the Henshaw's farm estate.
Past Redhill Aerodrome, Earlswood Lakes to Brockham church where teas have resumed and are now every Sunday 2.30pm - 5pm until late October when they'll be supplying the bonfire builders with refreshment no doubt.
Thanks to Chris for backmarking & others for corner marking & your company, & to Chris & Steph for the photos.
