The pairs 4+ mile trail led us to the Obelisk followed by a Fish Hook 5 which thankfully for me,after stopping to retie laces, brought back the FRB's. Following the well marked trail we were soon on narrow paths watching out for those roots which were always waiting to trip the unwary.
On Long now through a very muddy track with MOULDY ploughing straight through it while ARCHANGEL and I sought the dry path. With all the “checks ahead now kicked out, it was a long run demanding run now around the Kenton Hill Convert, where fortunately the local dogs had not finished licking out all of our marks.
With the Longs now in sight it was back over the road to the Mamhead forest track but I was tiring and not likely to catch them blaming the grandchildren for asking me to run with them on the Bristol Junior Parkrun where after the start I never saw them for dust!
Meeting ZOOT and HOTLIPS on the next bend decided to cut “Short” where I met up with SHRIVEL to finish on trail ahead of those FRB's before they reached the CP. and it was still daylight just!
Back down in the Bishop Lacey at Chudleigh there was a usual good welcoming atmosphere good fish and chips and a reviving drink before the DD's were awarded to the following offenders:-
WIDE RECEIVER for being late on Hash, probably trying to close that extra car sale?
