Kazakh and I took a typically meandering, nose-following route home from my mum's yesterday. Climbed Lieth hill and Box hill, mad detour to godalming because we missed the turning. It was cold but a beautiful day. And my Croix de Fer has started to feel like it is helping me up the hills, partly due to how stable it is under a heavy load (was carrying a week's clothes plus presents). We hadn't been very organised about food, so after running out of cereal bars stopped at a pub in Lieth hill and bought four dairy milk bars and a bag of peanuts. We both ran out of sugar in wimbledon and limped home, went out and had an enormous curry. Average speed about 13 mph, possibly 15 if I cut out the time we spent stopping and trying (and failing) to work out which way to go after we'd left the usual route.
