A good turnout of 16 on the posted train, 2 car drivers and one catching us up at lunchtime making #19 in all. All but two did the far loop to Mugswell, where many of us took advantage of the pub's offer to eat our lunch in the garden if we bought a drink. Two ate inside.
Banstead Wood and the return path between Chipstead Lane and the railway were a bit squelchy but not too bad compared to recent weeks. About five of us including the drivers returned to Chipstead instead of going to Kingswood.
