Walk Report

Osterley to Hampton Court, Sunday 3rd December 2017
24 walkers, 16 miles - leader Dave Williams
The leader was more than a little surprised to find that 24 hardy souls turned up at Osterley on a rather dank, miserable morning.
However the weather forecast proved to be correct with conditions markedly improving throughout the day.
After a not so brief stop in Syon Park we reached lunch at Richmond where we had 2 departures although this was offset by the arrival of the ubiquitous Mr. Dent who kept us amused with his usual antics!
On reaching Kingston a few saddos succumbed to the rather dubious delights of John Lewis & an even bigger saddo (who shall remain nameless!) and who had been having withdrawal symptoms hotfooted it to the local W'spoons!
The remainder soldiered on & made it in plenty of time to catch the 4.05 from Hampton Court (unfortunately there were no takers for the Maze!)
The leader is looking forward to all the letters of complaint that will be winging their way to the hierarchy!
