Only Jim H, Lawrie, and I followed Alec out Uxbridge towards Windsor, well it had to be but which route would we take?
We headed towards Iver but just before the motorway bridge Alec turned off down Ford Lane (groan from Lawrie!) to Farlows Lake and the temporary cafe for an early elevenses break.
After finishing our beverages Alec led us through Iver, Langley, Datchet and Windsor to lunch at The Black Horse, at Dedworth (which is still Windsor). As usual the service, beer, and food was excellent and the locals friendly.
Leaving the pub Lawrie suggested an alternative route (well he would, wouldn’t he) down Roses Lane which which we took. Onward we continued though Clewer and over the river and headed towards the Jubilee River taking a slight detour to recce Meadow Lane, it is dead end and a bit muddy(more groans from Lawrie). Onward we continued through Upton Court Park and on towards Iver stopping at Wingroves Farm Shop for tea. This proved to be a bit basic but the drinks were ok and the staff friendly. We left here in heavy rain and dispersed on the way back to Hillingdon.
