Run 1005 - 21 Oct 2007
RUN 1005 21st October 2007 Somewhere near Coin
Hares – Mork and Fender Bender
It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining as the pack waited for the off. 4pm came and went and the numbers swelled to 30+ before Stiff Fanny set us off at 4:30pm.
The run started with a split with the right hand split being the way to go, up the hill, of course. At the top a check took us left through the prickles before hitting a dirt track road which led to a checkback at the top of the hill. The trail then headed right across uneven scrub to another dirt track road. This gave the FRB’s a chance to stretch their legs before a split sent them right down to another dirt track and another split. This time we went left before a checkback brought everyone to the beer stop. Beers, softies, crisps and dip were enjoyed by all in the sunshine.
Little did we know that the beer stop was about halfway and not the normal three quarters of the way round. Off we set along the dirt track before a checkback turned us round and sent us off to the left through the olive grove. The second half turned into a runner’s run as various splits and checks took us on different dirt tracks before bringing us back to the start. The Hares were awarded 7.5 for a good well marked run.
Stiff Fanny took over the circle and had Spitoon and Gangplank on ice for some misdemeanour. Gangplank then took over as RA as Septic Scrotum was resting, for what we don’t know!
Then it was on to Mindy’s for the On On which started with Buck’s Fizz in order to celebrate Aubrey and Maureen’s Golden Wedding Anniversary. The On On was delicious as usual and consisted of lentil soup, assorted sausages with mash and apple crumble with ice cream, what more could you ask for? The wine and beer flowed and all the proceeds for the evening were being donated to charity. It was a lovely evening but it was noticeably cooler in the campo than down on the coast.
Congratulations to Mindy and Maureen on their Golden Wedding Anniversary and many thanks for the delicious On On.
