The next pub was less than a mile away, and the easiest route was to walk down the hill and round the bend. The Fleet is an imposing country pub with fine dining and looked as though it was more suited for weddings. Lounge chairs dominated the front room After ordering drinks, we took them through the dining room where lunch was just ending. and out onto the terrace where we could see the river. As it was in full flow, we were encouraged to stay there but a picnic bench was stacked on top of another on the riverbank to discourage people to sit there. However, my friend was tall enough to use it as a bar stool. Another friend arrived and this called for more drinks and some crisps; but it turned out that he couldn’t stay for the duration and just called in for one. As the afternoon moved on, we decamped in preparation for our next destination.
