Hare: RoadkillHounds: WAM, JB, Phantom, Big bird, Soc App, Martini, Tom Tom,
A very small, elite group gathered on a dismal wet evening at the Holywell Lake.... we’ve been so lucky over the summer with warm, sunny evenings; dry underfoot and now a double whammy of wet feet and dark enough for head torches.
Roadkill sent us off right and very quickly we were heading off over a style and onto a track. This was encouraging to be off road so quickly as we all remember how roadkill got his name.....!! On on we went through long wet grass and mud (perhaps running on a road isn’t so bad after all). Being such a select group we mostly stuck together except Soc App who went dashing ahead.
Up some hills and over lots of fields with a tiny bit of road in between we finally arrived at the regroup under a tree near Langford Budville. Roadkill assured us that the view was spectacular but by this time it was pitch black and nothing to be seen.
After some lovely sweeties we set off through the woods. Soc App rushing ahead again but taking the wrong path. He headed off deeper into the woods whilst the rest of us took the correct route through the field ..... the distant sound of galloping hoofs made some of us a little nervous. Eventually Soc App realised he was alone and found his way back to the group.
More fields, one of which had a rather surprised looking bull in it.... luckily we had our JB our bull expert with us who assured us that this one was fairly harmless!!
Thank you for a really great run, enjoyed by all in spite of the wet feet and dark evening!
