Up on the Nose...

RunNo. 1595 at the Church CP, Manaton a good turnout on this great summer evening and venue for a scenic run and we were not to be disappointed. At the Circle which included Tamar H3 ex milkman “ERNIE” although I am sure he said Eric, who took at least six goes at parking his car and still left RENT BOY with no space to open his rear door! Announcement from GM SOAPY that orders would be taken later for our 1600th Run T-Shirt. Hares DRAGACT and DIRTY DEALER'S 5 mile plus (long) well marked trail led us around Manaton and almost back, before heading over the fields to a tough run up and up to Hayne Down and the sweet stop at Bowermans Nose, time for a quick photo with FORREST, HEIDI and WET JONNIE, before heading downhill over the rocks. Catching up with the short now on another steep climb with BOGGIE before a split to Long lead down from Langstone Cross with BOBBIBALL, to a long loop though more fields, into some very scenic woodland then up hill again! though bracken so tall you could not see where you were going! Finally up to Manaton Rocks where DRAG ACT, WIGWAM and SATNAV were taking in another great view. On back now and time to find somewhere to park outside the Kestor Inn. A great atmosphere in the pub with much chatter and 1600 Shirt decision making from the pack before the DD's commenced firstly to
SATNAV for trying to take a discreet pit stop in the bushes.
ERNIE of other not so well known! TVH3 for his poor parking.
ZOOT and HOTLIPS to celebrate their wedding.
