13 September - A Group from Walton to Jealott's Hill

On a dry but windy morning eleven of us set off from Walton. The wind was against us as we headed west through Weybridge, Addlestone, Burrowhill and on to Windlesham. From here we headed northwest through Ascot and Winkfield Row to arrive at The New Leathern Bottle in Jealott's Hill just after one o'clock.

We sat outside in the sunshine and soon the food arrived. After lunch everyone was more drawn by the adventure playground than their bikes, so the obligatory group photo was taken there by Geoff.

As we set off for the return trip some light rain started but within fifty yards it turned very much heavier. So a quick U-turn was undertaken and we returned to the pub garden to shelter under a marquee for ten minutes while the shower passed over.

Underway again, now with the wind behind, we headed for Windsor Great Park, Egham, Staines and Laleham before a couple of riverside roads brought us back to Walton for tea at The Riverhouse Theatre.

Thanks to all for a smooth ride, especially Geoff our waving back marker.
