An urgent request from SATNAV for any items to add to our Christmas Raffle next week please. GM PILTDOWN MAN announced that he was a lucky winner in the raffle held at The Waterside last week, his win “A Meal for Two” which after investigation turned out to be a tin of SPAM!
On-On to SLACKERS trail of 41/2 miles with L/S splits and a sweet stop which he had laid and relaid due to the weather. Firstly up Foxhole Hill, turning to towards Southwood Farm where it was soon apparent that the marks were going to be small and hard to find in the damp fields as we scrambled over slippery stiles, dodging rocks and boulders, squelching through the mud and water, before finally getting onto a track that lead us past a tall lime kiln chimney out onto the lanes.
Form here it was soon all down hill to the sweet stop and on down again to Bridford Bridge with a L/S split taking the Long on and up the hills towards Doddiscombsleigh, where they had great trouble finding the trail across those big fields to the On Home.
While the short wound they way through the woodland and fields behind Bridfordmills Nursery to eventually find the On Home.
Back inside the Teign House Inn the landlady had provided good food and beers for our Down Downs which were awarded to:-
WINFIELD for allegedly drooling on the sweets at the sweet stop! (quite wrongly!)
SLACKER for a great trail, although a little more flour would have helped!
SMEllie for not seeing a bridge in the fields and wading on through the deep Marsh instead.
A great trail and evening, well done SLACKER
On to this Saturday for our CHRISTMAS PARTY 7pm Wetherspoons Teignmouth.
