The weather promised to be an improvement on the past days and saw eight loiterers follow me out of Uxbridge on the short ride to Lunch at The Crown Inn, Farnham Royal. We made our way through Iver to Mansion Lane and Hollow Hill Lane to elevenses at Iver Golf Club.
Hollow Hill Lane had a lot of standing water through which we navigated without getting wet.
Jane, John, Leslie, and Andy left us here while Alec, Colin, Graham, Jim, and I continued on to Trenches Lane, through the mobile home park and on to George Green. Crossing the busy Uxbridge Road we continued through Wexham and Stoke Green, along Northern Road to Farnham Royal reaching The Crown Inn just before 1200.
After lunch the plan was to leave via Stoney Lane which proved to be deeply flooded as Alec can attest, he bravely? rode on to test the water getting wet feet for his trouble. We therefore decided to continue on up Crown Lane and Hawthorn Lane the traversing Burnham Beeches using Lord Mayor’s Drive. We then headed to tea at Black Park by way of Templewood and Duffield Lanes to Stoke Poges then Hollybush Hill and Rowley Lane. Black Park was extremely busy but we eventual got serve and found a table outside the cafe.
After tea we returned to Uxbridge via Pinewood and Chandler’s Hill.
