Run 1727 Mon. 29th Jan. from the Manor Inn Galmpton with Hare U-Bend.
It was a chilly bright moonlit evening as GM Piltdown called for
“Circled up” amongst the pack, one virgin hasher who was duly anointed
by Teapot.
GM's question...at nearby Greenway when did the famous
owner die, many dates were quoted from 1700's to 1900's ...but the
correct answer was 1976 give by ??
After a request from Doris for Hares in March! time for On-On, with Ubend saying its only 5 miles ON RIGHT! ...some headed left some straight on but no-one was listening!
Eventually the pack found its way up to Galmpton Common, then on down
to Broadsands with a “mind your heads” from Rambo as we passed under the
viaduct! On to Broadsands Beach where I was pleased at last to get a
soft surface under my recovering knee, the tide was well out making it a
great run for some for at least a short time.
Soon we were at
Elberry Cove and running short of marks even U-Bends bike tracks had
disappeared. Someone? called On-On from the shingle beach so off we set
but after this there were no marks again! Knowing where we were I headed
on through the woods calling but only those behind answered!
We
were now on Churston golf course once again following those tyre marks
for a short time at least before it was “no marks” again. We found
ourselves in a cul-de-sac where fortunately there was a hidden path that
lead us out on to Bascombe road and the Sweet Stop! where a surprised
Hare was waiting.
Leaving him to cycle off in search for others,
this was quite far enough for me and others, it was a very brisk power
walk now under the rail bridge and down Elberry lane to the Brixham
road, with still at least a mile to go before we finally reached The
Manor Inn while the Long where still heading on trail (as per Beefy's
map).
Down Downs were awarded to the following offenders …
BLUEBIRD for calling the pack on... or was it an Owl ?
WINFIELD for leading some astray... or was it Bluebird ?
U-BEND for something to do with Doris's cat?
BLUEBIRD for just being Bluebird!
U-BEND for going home to shower!
Well done the Hare and bike for a great evening!
On to next week at The Park Arms, Hennock with Hare: Forrest Stump!
On On
