A CAST OF THOUSANDS AT KINGSWEAR !

On a very warm Mon.18th July #1648 circled up at the Ship Inn Kingswear for the trail laid by Hare's COLDTITZ, U BEND & ARCHANGEL'S plus helpers KIM and CATHERINE good to see back with us G-ORGY P-ORGY, also visitors ELMO and ERNIE. There was confusion amongst the team over how many “Splits” there were, finally settling for just one! We would also encounter an obstacle down which we were all commanded to survive? It was On On up through the town with plenty of marks although some had been removed by a local! An overgrown uphill footpath with a loose hand rail where we almost lost PIDDLER ! led us further up to Redoubt Hill where a run up was possible if you did not look up and the legs held out! Next we were confronted by the “obstacle challenge” a rather steep slide leading down into Kingswear Wood most could master this if they could squeeze into it as SAFFRON PARAPRICK and dogs did. We were now on the Mount Ridley Road with a good leg stretching run up and finally down at last eventually to a great Champagne and Strawberry's with sugar Stop manned by COLDTITZ with friends KIM and CATHERINE, this was very welcomed especially the sugar ! From here the L/S split was +1 mile or +3, TEARARSE and I chose the Long as it promised some great views along the SW Coastal Footpath and it wasn’t long before I was glad for that sugar boost as we followed the winding path and the many steps up towards the Tower Day Beacon, built as a guide to mariners to help position the Dart harbour entrance. After a photo stop we all headed on along the Coastal Footpath with WIDE RECEIVER & FUKAWE with ERNIE, TEARARSE, SHRIVEL, PIDDLER and I there were some great views along the way as we wound our way back towards Kingswear, but all of those footpath steps seemed to be getting steeper and steeper! Was it here that WIGWAM fell ?? we never told of this! Finally we arrived back at Kingswear where it was now 9:00pm a quick change was needed before going to the pub, after a much needed reviving drink the Landlord kindly supplied the beers for our DDs which were awarded to ...ELMO for admitting (doing every thing in pairs) not cleaning his trainers for TWO years and buying TWO bottles of Vodka!
