16 met at Holmwood Station, with 1 more catching the group after lunch having caught a later train, so #17 in all. The weather was #warm and sunny. After a morning meandering through fields, including one with a sea of cows blocking the way, most of the group had a picnic in the churchyard at Leigh, followed by a drink with the sole pub luncher at the plough. The afternoon was spent pleasantly strolling through more fields, before the steep ascent and descent of the only big hill of the day through Reigate Park. Some had excellent tea and cakes at Monty Bojangles, and others popped into the Bull for a drink. Many of us then hopped on the 16.32 back to London, which was very overcrowded with students from tge sixth form college next to the station.
