First trail of the year in shorts for me and I was still too hot! And it was Mother's Day of course, and 'the clock is wrong in the car' day, and nearly the 2nd anniversary of the first lockdown! Anyway fanastic to be out and about enjoying the countryside on a warm early spring day .
The trail took us on twists and turns around Haldon, but definitely not to to castle itself, just to annoy Spocky and XBitz (their wedding venue). The rhodedendrums looked very pretty and romantic, but XBitz could be bothered to take a look.
I needed a wee quite early on, and could hear the 'slap slap' of Speedy running down the hill, so thought no need to hide particularly well. Unfortunately he was running with Happy Snapper!!
There was a tunnel that we were 'encouraged' to climb through just before the regroup. Speedy was the only one who went through it and soaked up the honour as we gathered round. Except he didn't, and had just put mud on his knees. He was rewarded appropriately in the circle. Memories of No. 2 were also shared during the regroup. She sadly passed away this week.
A great trail from Wide, made even better by the warmth and sunshine.
Don't forget to rate the hash! https://cityofexeterhhh.blogspot.com/p/rate-hash_3.html?m=1
Next week we're at Joneys Cross for Boots' trail, if he bothers to turn up!!!!
On on
