A loitering group of eight Loiterers enjoyed nice weather for a short loop around Thorney, Hanwell & Northala Park. Led by Garry and followed by Margaret, Dave, John, Peter, Judith, Angela, Stephen and Keith. After a quick bimble through Iver to Thorney GC, a nice cuppa was enjoyed by all. The golf club was up to its usual high standard - with this venue being very comfortable, quiet and usually not busy with really nice staff and coffee - highly recommended. Most of this ride is flat and so a ride through quiet, residential streets to The Fox, Hanwell followed. The Fox was quiet, so thankfully a booking wasn't required - although not from trying by phoning about two dozen times and no reply - a reflection of a hospitality business with only employees working on a Sunday with no skin in the game methinks!! The phone continued to ring while we were there and no one could be bothered to answer it!! Oh well, as they say in tourism, good businesses go bad, bad businesses go broke!! Leaving The Fox we backtracked about 300m to turn off the Brentford Canal arm to Bunny Park along the nice gravel trail that passes under Uxbridge Road (A4020) and therefore not having to cross this busy road. In no time at all, the group arrived at Northala and elected to keep going - the ice cream will wait for another day! Peter & Judith peeled off here to Pinner, and the balance of the group did the same at various points towards Uxbridge. A nice quiet Bimble as Alec promulgated on the website last week. Thanks to all for a nice day, regards, Garry
