#1164 Blackborough Woods - Paperwork and Sorepoint - 14 July 2024

Sorepoint and Paperwork got soaked laying the trail yesterday, ready for the hash today. There was still water running down the road, puddles in the car park and some shiggy. 
Our GM was away so Wilf took charge, decisively claiming his right to do so after Sorepoint called the circle! Until that point the conversations had ranged from mathematics and decimal points (of course Paperwork was involved) to clitorises (guess what, Paperwork was still involved!). That conversation had something to do with Pearl's socks... 

Yes, Pearl was back!  And Mooner joined us, representing Taunton.  

The Bitz's were running late so we rushed as quickly as we could to get going (joke 🤣!). The trail headed down the road and then into the woods. I quickly found the On Home, but Bollards found the right way. A narrow path that ended up back on the road, but with a check back, and then a titty-check. A longish long took us around a loop, by which time Spocky had caught us up. Then, we joined the shorts. More beautiful woods to run through, and across some really pretty moss laden undergrowth. 

A narrow path with "Christmas trees" either side, and lots of prickly brambles, next - my arms and legs are scarred! Then another titty check and a long loop that went down, and then back up, with Spocky leading and Bollards and I trying to work out which way he went. No fear, Paperwork wasn't far behind. Then back to the prickly path for some more razor action 

Then to the sweetie stop, with liquorice, jelly beans and peachy rings.  The down down that didn't happen was Pearl turning to Wobbly saying "come on mate..." Thinking he was actually giving a pep talk to Son of the Bitz!

From there is wasn't far to go home, and the final long short had the car park in sight. So I sacrificed doing another long for opening the car up for the shorts too get their beer.

Thanks to the hares for a great trail. 

Next week we're at Ilford Manor, Southbrook Lane, near Cranbrook, the home of the Bitz's, with Boots laying the trail. https://maps.app.goo.gl/JCiT1fRF9kML9ASV6
