A little French fancy I think.
I was very excited to give Wide a microphone to welcome the hash, problem was that it wasn't loud enough, and I'm not putting it anywhere close to my lips now that I saw were it went just a few minutes before this photo was taken! Our hare was also slightly bemused about what to do with it...
The trail took us to parts of the common that I didn't recognise, and was extremely muddy (who'd have thought it...). Although we started off in familar territory, with lots of loops to slow us down, before heading down off the common towards Stoneyford on the roads and tracks, before heading back towards Hawkerland. There we had the sweetie stop, with the hash flash around a big puddle, which Son of the Bitz enjoyed standing in...
From there, there was another long- short split, with the longs continuing around the edge of the common along a wooded path. Bollards and me almost managed to loose the trail after an ambiguous (kicked out) mark, but soon spotted our error and we were back on trail on the common proper, with just a few loops before heading home. Very pleased to see Woodpecker at the front of the shorts on the way home, and it's him that we blamed for cutting out the last loop on the trail as we were simply following the FRBs!
In the circle, Speedy was our Sheriff, and tried togive me a down down for the microphone, but it went instead to Spocky and Boots for splashing at the hash flash (and upsetting Son of the Bitz).
Next week we're at Blackborough Woods for a joint trail with Taunton H3.
