Just a select band of Paul, Amanda, Brian, Terry, David and Richard this morning, so our usual ‘go this way’ direction was missing. were we rudderless? Oh no, we had Brian, fresh from driving all night, no sleep since Friday morning, setting a heck of a pace and proving that burning your candle at both ends is healthy! So we ignored all suggestions and set off to enjoy the sunshine, views across to the South and North Downs, history lessons along the way, and some interesting farms to cross. Geothermal energy and “that was Rob Thornton, are you SURE that was Rob Thornton” type conversations were the order of the day under brilliant sunshine and 24c heat. Warm for running. See everyone at garys for some liquid replenishment later. This is the route, for posterity:
