Three met at Woldingham station in partly cloudy skies, but this soon cleared to give a sunny and hot day.
Most of the morning was in woodland which gave welcome shade.
Arrived at Godstone, and all Three enjoyed a welcome beer.
They kindly allowed us to eat our sandwiches in the garden
In the afternoon we proceeded to a church a mile from Godstone, had a welcome break then visited inside. Home made jam was on sale, different concoctions for £2.50 each.
We then proceeded to Oxted, excellent views but very hot when no shade.Walked through old Oxted, then all Three finished for another welcome beer in the wetherspoons less than a minute's walk to the station.
2 of us caught the 1630 and the other walker 1659
Another enjoyable day out with excellent company as usual.
