Flour they seek it here and there....

 Mon 21st Sept at CP on Dunstone Down high above Widecombe for SLIP on ME and BRENDA's trail, what started as a bright sunny evening soon changed as we reached Dunstone Moor where it was pretty chilly in a strong cold breeze so no time to hang about at the circle. The Hares gave us a briefing on what was to follow ? “ 7.5 miles !! but there is a shorter route of about 3, we ran a bit short on flour so keep going on the lane? there is a fruit stop but that's on the long and there only 3 checks !! ” Heading off out across the moor we soon lost the trail at the first check “was this that no marks area” ? confusion reigned but eventually we found it! on up now to the 1st L/S split, most did not fancy a 7.5 miler, but first I did! along with WIDE, DAMP PATCH, and LUCY winding our way up and down narrow footpaths with so many options a real need to call ON-ON as those marks where well spread out, at the second check a heard of roaming black bullocks were quite interested in our fun and decided to join in as we tried to find the trail. Up and down lanes and tracks we sped it was getting very dark now glad to have a bright lamp to search for the elusive flour. Eventually finding we found a well marked trail taking us back across the moor to the only two remaining cars in that CP! It was very warm and inviting inside the Rugglestone where the pack just about managed to cram into one room for the DD's which were awarded to :-
MELLON PICKER as navigator going to the Pub first instead of the Moor !
