Plenty of muddy patches in the woods, but it was always easy to skirt around them. <br />After an underwhelming reception at The George & Dragon upon our arrival just past noon ("Have you booked? Let me check with the kitchen, we are expecting 2 groups of 6 in the next 5 minutes..." when the pub was completely empty...), we were then served quickly what were vast portions of good value meals. <br />Some took the 16.58 train, while most had tea and/or drinks in Oxted's uninspiring town centre, and then another one, as the 17.28 was cancelled. <br />Dinner in Pimlico for some to celebrate a walker's b'day.Thomas Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298846868417688062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-38279069775130695402015-06-20T20:55:43.230+01:002015-06-20T20:55:43.230+01:00Intend going, incl.
