Run No 1594 on Mon 13th July at The Artichoke, Christow Hare: Slacker.
At Circle it looked like the hospital casualty dept. RAMBO with his leg
in plaster and RENT BOY with his hand in a sling, PILTDOWN MAN and
G-ORGY P-ORGY in street gear? Returning briefly to us from South Africa
was MAN PIG and welcome given to virgin Harriet Keeley introduced by
FLYING PIG. Producing his map SLACKER, with concern for a washed out
trail, gave detailed instructions on distances, a sweet stop
(which I missed) were all those marks still there ? he had a bike and
car at the ready to guide us plus the assistance of FORREST HUMP. On-On
now and almost immediately up and up and up we ran? We climbed up Common
Hill then a good excuse to pause for ( see photo) looking back high
over Christow. At last running across fields with SHRIVEL DICK and 69,
through Bowden Farm after which we lost the trail in a huge field but we
knew there was a style there somewhere? On On again catching the Short
now but missed the unmanned sweet stop, so on down Brennah Hill and at
last the On-Home to the Pub where GEORGY and PILTDOWN were still
enjoying their 25th anniversary celebration meal with a nice chilled
wine. The Artichoke is now a very busy pub and what a difference good
food and service has made !
In the garden DD's were awarded to :-
SLACKER for his detail and concern in the end it was a great Trail! WIDE RECEIVER for his bumper car shunts parking that van. FLYING PIG for not briefing his virgin Harriet on Trail marks etc..PILTDOWN MAN & G-ORGY P-ORGY on their 25th anniversary
Well done SLACKER for a great evening.
