.....on Monday 15th April, somewhere in Babbacombe! There was much manoeuvring around like dodgems to get out as the car park chosen was chargeable! During all this “69” reversed his van into “Wetfart's” car before we were all finally parked up on the nearby road. Several long absent Hashers had made a welcomed reappearance for Bobbieball’s trail; he had also been assisted by the mysterious Bluebird who was still not to be seen! Off we set weaving around the streets of Babbacombe past Bobbies Pad and then though parkland that we had not used for many years, in fact on the last occasion the exit gates had been locked and we all scrabbled over the high wall, all was ok this time and we made our way “on-on” to the cliff paths slipping and sliding along, a glance along the shoreline and there was the massive recent cliff fall still with half a house hanging on the top edge of it. (see photo.. behind UBend! ) On-On again towards the Cary Arms and eventually a beer stop at Ansteys Cove with only 6 of us remaining on the correct trail! Where the others went still remains a mystery? On back now, and after more cliffs to scramble a good run in to the Snooty Fox. The pub had laid on an excellent hot stew with Naan bread and crisps all for only £2! This was all soon consumed by the hungry pack. In the absence of our usual RA’s, Fallen Woman did an excellent job awarding 6 DDs to:- Martyn ( soon to be named ) Smash marking her return, Soapy for making it to the Drinks stop, Flowery and Hi de Hi marking their returns and to Bobbieball and Bluebird for an excellent trail
On-On to an excellent trail at the Carpenters Arms Ilsington next week!
(well I would say that wouldn’t I !)
