Five tandems from the Surrey-Sussex Group gathered in Storrington on 10th April on a sunny, if slightly chilly morning.  We were grateful that the sun was shining and the high winds of late had subsided. Chris and Annie led out on a route that went west amidst the South Downs into the Arun valley with fine views over the Amberley Wild Brooks.  After passing the site of the Bignor Roman Villa, we took mid-morning drinks (including some excellent coffee) at the White Horse in Sutton. Suitably refreshed , we snaked through quiet lanes northwards, over the River Rother, to Kirdford and then to Wisborough Green and lunch at the very welcoming Cricketer's Arms. After a fine Sunday lunch we were then treated to a pleasantly undulating return route southwards via Coneyhurst and West Chiltington.  Lucky to have such a scenic route in fine weather and good company, it  made for an excellent day out on the bike.
