On 18th November at The Old Manor, Preston.
With Hare:Bobbiball & Team! A great testing trail, which led us from a well lit Preston up & up into the mud and darkness of Occombe Valley Woods. Here the "commando" style test began, with L/S and Walkers all choosing their preferred options. The Walkers were now faced with a steep mudslide down into the dark valley, while the Long headed on towards Scadson Woods and the Short weaved their way along the upper footpath dodging branches while trying to keep balance along a treacherous trail. Fortunately after a soaking in the steam we emerged thankfully into civilisation with streetlights helping us find Bobbi's SS. Here a sip or two of Port Sherry etc revived us, before finally descending back down through Shorton Valley to the comfort of The Old Manor with its welcoming drinks & buffet.
PS Doris and Twinkle-toes having avoided the mudslide, did eventually thankfully, find their way Home much later.
Offenders from this epic escapade were :-
Pisswell for being late to park again!
Pollyfella took the horse head hat, for his cackling laugh as he overtook the Long.
Bluebird a blinding vision! as he shows off his healthy body, after taking eye-drops to cure his vertigo! ??
Wet Johnny, finally presented with his 200Runs badge! still in summer gear!
Well done Bobbiball & Co. a great trail and evening.
On to next week Mon 25th November at The Dartmouth Inn Totnes TQ9 5EL, with Hare: Wet Johnny!
