Really good weather for the end of September. 7 left Uxbridge for 11's at Liquid leisure but a change of plan saw us have 11's the the Bridge Cafe Datchet, Where Cliff left us, a small cafetiere of coffee and a toasted tea cake for £1.70, can't go wrong.

Off then towards Poyle and a right turn to Wraysbury and onto the track alongside the M25 to Egham, Virginia Water, Lynne and up a short climb to St Ann's hill and the view point overlooking Heathrow and beyond. A half mile decent took us to lunch at the Golden Grove pub, great food and quick service in a sunny garden, lunch time banter and sunshine made it hard to leave.

Off we set and headed towards Thorpe and through the village and onto Egham and Staines then along the track next to the M25 to tea at Vermuelen's (thank you Woody for sharing the interpretation that Vermuelen's means Windmill, what a brainy lad). Again tea in the Sun and then I discharged my duties as leader we off we headed for home. Thank you all for your company and a pleasant days cycling.
