6 of us followed Jim Swan on his medium ride. It was billed as a thirty miler on tarmac. Well that was a pack of lies for a start! On the way to the morning stop, Jim stopped the ride to show us the steps set into the wall of Eton College for pupils to climb up when locked out of the college. The hooligan element in the pack took the opportunity to climb up and shout insults at Dobson Minor (Shropshire Dobsons not the Lancashire ones) and also at Rivington - Hobbs who were having a crafty smoke by the wall.
Following the coffee break Jim led us into Windsor Great Park and into an area closed off to the Hoi Polloi, resulting in us being shouted at and chased by park rangers. We got away with it by supplying false names and addresses (top tip: always take the club membership list with you). We also got to see some impressive wood carvings which until then had only been gazed at by the crowned heads of Europe. Lunch was taken at the Nags Head Sunnigdale before we headed back to Uxbridge, dispersing in Iver.
