Six set out from Woking station pausing first to see H G Wells’ house near the railway, then to admire a sculpture of a Martian Tripod of War of the Worlds fame.Half an hour after leaving Woking the threatened rain materialised and became heavier and heavier until Robin kindly invited us to coffee and shelter (”I’m afraid I only have chocolate biscuits”!) at his house nearby. Consensus was reached on abandoning the ride and eventually we prised ourselves out of the comfy chairs and out again into the rain to cycle damply and lunchless to the station. Didn’t check but we probably did about 15 miles or so. Later on at home I found I had to dry out all my paper money on the radiator!
