The plan is for two separate groups to depart from New Haw on 27 May. Both will take the same outbound route to the Fox and Goose at Greywell for lunch (about 26 miles).
After lunch, one group will ride back from Greywell to tea at Ripley (about 27 further miles from Greywell), subject to someone volunteering to lead.
My group will initially head off from Greywell on part of the previously used route towards Winchester, but eventually loop back on a completely new route (interminable thatched cottages, village ponds, quaint bits, fields etc etc) ending up at Basingstoke station (about 20 further miles from Greywell), completely avoiding the busier parts of Basingstoke.
For those wishing to book advance train tickets, expected arrival at Basingstoke is 16.00 to 16.30. From there, there are normally four accessible trains per hour back towards Waterloo (two stopping at Surbiton), and two towards Reading (change for the Elizabeth Line). As well as advance fares, group tickets giving a third off are also available for more than three people booking together to the same destination, but check the details first.
I'll post fuller details, routes, menu choices etc late next week. Booking will be by Spond.
