Wings Aviation Museum (almost)....


Today’s run was to be Bob’s ride to visit the ‘Wings Museum’.  As only John C and Gordon attended we decided to defer the ride to allow Bob to lead it another day.  The route was still to pass the museum and take lunch at Pease Pottage.

The ride did not start well as Gordon dropped his Blackberry and broke the screen!  We headed off eastwards and UP to Turners Hill.  It had started to warm up by then so John and Gordon were treated to my Hawaiian cycle top.  






















A bit loud they said!  Turning west just after the church we headed for ‘The Cowdray’ pub junction, left here then right towards Handcross. After a short rest at the water tower junction we headed towards the museum for a quick stop to check out dates and get some leaflets. 

Having achieved this we headed DOWN Brantridge Lane towards Staplefield.  Over the B2114 and under the A24 took us to Slaugham where we turned right onto a bridleway, they had been doing some drainage work here so the going was as good as usual.  Gordon then took up through ‘The Hyde Estate’, a very pleasant and almost traffic free route bypassing Handcross and bringing us out onto the Pease Pottage road.  We got to the pub at 11:40 so John decided to forego lunch and headed home while Gordon and I waited.

After a relaxing lunch we headed home.  Gordon to buy a new Blackberry and me to fall asleep in front of the TV again!

Our next ride is on Sunday 2nd June. It starts at Horsham Pavilion in the Park at 09:30 and will go to Peaslake and Abinger Common. This will be a really enjoyable easy to medium ride. Who knows, short sleeves and shorts may well be the order of the day, it will be June after all!
