Mon 24th Nov. A good
turnout for Bluebirds "No Hare 76 Litter marked trail" with
the longs immediate diversion taking us into a churned up cattle
field, there were groans and screams as the pack fought its way
uphill through gateways of slippery clinging red soil. After this
on-on uphill to Brunel Woods where we eventually re-grouped for
sweets and a photo call beneath the great man’s carved statue,
after several re-takes as more and more arrived, we finally headed
off towards Watcombe Woods with some good paced running up and down
along the woodland trails with that Cat Litter hard to spot amongst
the leaves. A trek along the coastal footpath and gasping uphill
effort before we finally charged back downhill into Maidencombe. A
great run although some did lose the trail in the woodland were there 76 marks? In the
Thatched Tavern good beer and some excellent roast potatoes were
supplied by the landlord as Satnav sold more tickets for our
Christmas Draw on 15th December Down-downs were awarded to
the following sinners....Piltdown Man for
following the trail in the wrong direction Manpig for asking
several times where Dumber was! ( In-spite of him not being with us) Rambo for still
having the price label on his specs, his claim it the was lens size
was ignored! Finally a naming for
James who runs in shorts and a T-shirt complaining of the cold...“Shrivel Dick”.
