Not a joint trail with Taunton today, but with equal numbers from each pack! Mooner, Sticky Treat, Dr Feelgood, Chewing Gum, and Twiggy all joining us. The bank holiday weekend and Ten Tors meant our numbers were lower than normal.
After the overnight rain, the car park was one big puddle when we arrived; Sore point said that "it had sunk!".
The hares told us that the trail was between 2.5 and 5 miles, with 4 long-shorts, or Titty-Stops (because they were marked with a circle with a door in, and from that point we had to look for a L or S). Twiggy cleverly worked out that each must be about an extra half-a-mile!
A titty-stop to start us off, and a loop, before rejoining the shorts. Mooner finally arrived by the time we had complete the first long
It gradually became more and more muddy on the trail, with parts that seemed familiar, and others not. I lost count the number of times that Pearl and Capt Peacock ran past me, with Peacock sounding his famous call. A sweetie stop with chocolate peanut and raisins, where I took a video in order to remember everyone's names... That didn't work out too well.
From there, not too far home, with about 5.5 miles on the clock. After drinks and snacks, about half of the pack retired to the Wyndhams Arms, hopefully they found a table!
On on to next week... Venue to be announced so keep an eye on Facebook etc.
