Muttersmoor, Sidmouth - Menage a Troi and Bare Essentials - 31st May 2015

It felt a little cold for the end of May and most of the pack had, wisely, dug out their winter attire. Menage a trois and Bear were substitute hares as Lilo had gone on holiday, but at least she had left them a map (of sorts); perhaps this was where the hares had the idea that the short was 3.5 miles and the long 4.5? By the end of the trail I’d done nearly 5.5 and I hadn’t checked wrong! It was unfortunate for the hares that they had forgotten to bring the flour and other trail essentials and had to take a trip into Sidmouth early on Sunday morning to stock up. Fortunately they had remembered the sweets, mainly chocolate, so it was a good job that the temperature was only 13.5 degrees (without windchill).
