Monday 1st
September driving over Bovey Heath to the Dolphin Inn Bovey Tracey
for Soapy and Mellon Pickers Trail, I saw ahead of me a runner
heading towards Bovey, trying not to run him over as I passed I saw
it was Wide Receiver! “Shall we give him a lift” said Point
Four ....no! He was making good speed anyway and probably needed the
training! Eventually at the Circle there were several returnees
including FLIP FLOP whom we had not seen for some time. The Hare's
trail starting with a L/S split led us around the town, then up into
the Parke Estate where we were well spread out now as a recharged
Bluebird was in racing mode at the front, but after several wrong
checks found himself back with the rest of us! weaving our way
through woodlands on a warm evening to a reviving Sweet Stop. On-On
again “ Mind the ducks “ said RAMBO as we sped along the
duck-boards ! After climbing some fencing and a wade in the river
Bovey there were fish hooks and checks to slow us before we passed
under the Morton. road to yet another Fishhook 6, although many had
already found the short rote back into Bovey.In the Dolphin Inn
On-Down after the locals had finished their committee meeting! we
were able to start proceedings Bluebird took the floor, calling me
forward and announcing to a sum-what stunned Pack that he had a very
special award to make before I passed away !! producing a golf ball
branded WINFIELD 1 which he stated must have pride of place amongst
my many awards? After recovery from this the DD's commenced firstly
to ...BLUEBIRD for
“racing” on a Hash trail! LAST OF THE MOHICANS
for leaving for the middle east again...will he get back in? MELLON PICKER for
getting so badly lost for hours on another Trail last week ! DEEP SEMEN finally
awarded his 300 RUNS badge ! Thank you BLUBIRD
for the award! and well done the HARE'S for an excellent evening.
Next week it's my trail! from the Obelisk car-park Mamhead... map to follow in
case you don’t know where this is + a Fish and Chips special at the
Bishop Lacey afterwards
At the Sweet Stop and that special award in prime spot, until Hovel Annie see's it
