22 off the train we're caught up by a driver making a total of n=23 on today's walk in w=sunny-often-cloudy weather. No rain today but last night's downpours had left the ground muddy on some paths coating boots with sludge before lunch. A few people ate at the White Horse, the rest picnicked outside the church or by the lake where two proud geese paraded six chicks in the hope of being fed.
The group stretched out after lunch and many ended the walk at the Star in Godalming. Rhododendrons were still blooming along the route but the azaleas were finished at Winkworth Arboretum which was very quiet considering it's half term. Lots of birdsong throughout the day.
