It was good to see Mismatch and Percy again.  They had parked the car a few miles away and run to the pub, as usual.  They couldn’t stay afterwards as Mismatch’s cats have a curfew and had to be locked in.  But we hope to see them again when we move to Sunday mornings.

The trail was all in Ringer’s mind so I can’t write much about the route but I do know there were lots of fish hooks! I also remember that we went up onto the Ridgeway and back down and that there were some long stretches and the wind was cold as the night drew in.  The walkers tood a short cut and the runners took a VERY muddy long cut.  Tinkerbell ran brilliantly, keeping up with the runners despite it being so slippy. It was a good workout and we were all pleased to get back to the pub for a drink.   

We were met in the bar by 2 American hashers – Oxymoron and Hunk O’ Burning Beaver who had gone to the wrong pub.   

There were no vests to give out but there were two namings. Steve had been seen skating on the mud before he fell flat, ending up bleeding! So, he became Tiger Feet. Jeremy sells medical equipment and is an ex A and E nurse so he is now Florence (or Flo for short).
