# 1616 Monday 14th Dec, after a wet evening good to see so many at our
Circle in the Ness CP, including representatives from HaldonH3,
AshburtonH3 and “Ernie” the milkman from Tamar Valley H3. Our virgin
Hare UNDULATING BOTTOM assisted by DEEP SEMEN had done a great job
making sure the trail was in place in spite of the very heavy rain just
before we set off. It was dry now and warm, but we were all wrapped up
for more rain except CAPTIAN PEACOCK who was in shorts and t-shirt
and he was right! as after running? no climbing! up to the Ness top we
needed to shed jackets and hats. On On the trail led us “surely not to
the top of that next headland” but a turn caught out the FRB's as we
headed around the golf course to the L/S split, taking the Long up over
another hill! into woodland and then up up again to eventually coming
down into Ringmore. While the Short had already headed for the sweet
stop and then a trail around the alleys of Shaldon before returning
On-Home to the CP. The OD at Bay Cottage (UBs parents home) dated back
some 350 years, with magnificent views across to Teignmouth and a very
large kitchen area for our gathering where U.B. had a barrel sorted and
lasagne and chips all prepared with Mother's or was is “Sister's”
assistance, much enjoyed by the hungry pack. The Down Downs were awarded
to SLIP-On-Me for remarking to PILTDOWN that she liked his hat (the DD
award hat!)
DIAMOND GEEZER for going home after for a shower?
UNDULATING BOTTOM for arranging an excellent trail and evening and
another one for her “SISTER” for kindly sharing her home with us.
Well done the Hares for an excellent evening.
On-On to #1617 next SATURDAY at Teignmouth for our Christmas party trail.
