A Birthday Lay for Hare Slacker (Oh' to be 20 again!) with No,69 and Deep Semen who we did eventually see much later.
At our Circle Piltdowns latest poser....Name the railway stations North and South of here (Christow station) Slacker knew...South (Lower Ashton) North (Dunsford Holt) Could not see much more at Circle as Wide Receivers new fully reflective jacket was dazzling me!
It was soon On-On up the narrow Foxhole Hill Lane towards Christow with cars carving a way through the pack, with Beefy sprinting up close behind them, taking a quick FRB passage to the front!
We turned off road towards Southwood Farm and our clean run ended here, for after the farmyard with its Frys Chocolate sign (not Delight !) fixed to a barn, we entered the fields where there was “Mud Mud Glorious Mud nothing quite like it for” for raising the blood! as we waded along shin deep in the shiggy.
This was unusually all too much for Rambo, our the off road specialist, fearing a possible infection from this mire into his leg wound immediately retreated. We pressed on slipping and stumbling across several fields and over stiles before finally reaching dry land!
No69 was there directing the L/S split, for me it was on Short, with that knee at last making a slow recovery. After Northwood we were eventually out onto Pound Lane with a steep descent (ouch that did hurt!) back down to the main Valley Road, with the Longs all streaming past us.
At the main Valley Road decided not to push my luck any further taking a SCB back to the OH where somehow Wetfart and Teapot had arrived already?
Meanwhile the Pack headed on over Bridford Bridge and off road again up through woodland tracks and fields on a long loop, eventually back down to the old Christow Station area, where much to the delight of Beefy there before him were rail tracks! and even rolling stock! to admire and photograph!
It was On Home now and time to extract ourselves from those very muddy trainers then entering the Teign House for a delicious special Chilly and Rice dish before the DD's, which were awarded to these offenders:-
SATNAV after complaining she was not ready to Award, found herself drinking up instead.
WIDE RECEIVER for sending Man-O'pause up a garden path!
RAMBO a big 1300 RUNS Badge sung to “get a life” of cause.
SLACKER his Birthday Drink sung with our usual song.
No69 his partner in crime for admitting they laid most of the trail by bike.
Not sure how they cycled through all of that MUD though!
Well done the Hares for a great evening in-spite of the mud!
