Run 762: Big Bird Thurlbear Church

Hare: Big BirdHounds: Grasshopper, WAM, Tom Tom, JB, Phantom, Martini, Roadkill, Brush Off, Ferret and Baby Spice.Walking: Bangkok, Dormouse and Floater



On pulling up outside a dark church I jumped out the car and was surprised to find everyone still sat in their cars but of cause I didn’t have gentlemen caller with me!  
The hash started slightly uphill and on tarmac, first check point was searched and we were still on road, the fit ones were soon racing away up the hill.  On to another check and we were now off road.  A great run if not a little long but a nice mix of on and off road with long patches of good running.  Nearly lost our way near some woods but we soon heard the cries of ‘on, on’.  A low flying bomber added to the evening, I wonder if somebody had reported strange lights running across the moors.  It was shortly after that encounter we stopped for well-earned treats.  Big bird directed us through a gate and I found myself at the back with Brush off but this paid off as the hounds had gone the wrong way down a stony path.  I thought at this point feeling a little tired that staying close to Big Bird was a good move but she did have me worried a little when she didn’t seem too sure of the way back!  As it was we were near home, on through a couple of fields into a muddy farm and out onto the road.  A tough finish uphill back to the cars.  
I gather the walkers got lost, well Dormouse did according to Bangkok!  I’m sure Floater with his GPS and crampons knew where they were all the time!  They also found lots of mud as Dormouse left his trainers outside the pub and as us Bishop Lydeard people like to stay together I left mine outside too. 
Well done hare on a great run which I understand you had to change last minute.
