PHE Run 2443 Report A Dick in the Swamp
Your Reporter, being a mere walker, and having been shown a map which included only the walker’s itinerary, is able to report accurately only on that section. Given that we walkers did the whole length of Star Swamp and back and still got in ahead of the pack, indicates to me that there must have been enough checks and false trails and side-tracks for the run to have been fairly interesting.
This opinion is reinforced by three external Factors:
1, Hares are well experienced and rarely, if ever stuff up.
2. Very few mutterings were heard when the pack got back.
3. Skid, a very experienced Hashman was enjoying the scenery so much that he explored the area to the fullest, ignoring the passage of time, and only got back once the circle was underway
The walkers, thanks to a well-marked trail could just about detect where their route intersected and diverged from that of the runners.. Certainly the Swamp (?) made for pleasant walking.
The circle was as raucous as usual, but I couldn’t hear the joke and can’t remember who did or didn’t have a birthday.
Prior to the run commencing Action called for attention and informed the pack of the deaths last week of Bo Derek and Deeply Boring’s wife. We all observed a minute’s silence.
Grub was good, but your correspondent’s hope of a dry dinner were dashed by the serving of a very tasty curry and a casserole.
At least they didn’t burn the pots!!
On. On.
