What a huge turnout! We had another new runner, Mike,  70 on the following day, AND we hadn’t lost our two newbies, Eric and Ken from last week.   Dripped On made a guest appearance to show solidarity with Floater as they had both been named on the same day….. AHHHH, isn’t that luvly.We also had Elaine with us, first time since her pregnancy stopped her running, now he’s at senior school I expect we will see her more often!!We were told about all sorts of livestock in our way, told it was 2 and on and go run!  Brush off volunteered to do the words as Justin was still just an ancient memory.Up a grassy track following the road, by the time we got to the first check at least 3 of us were feeling Dormouses age, even if he wasn’t.   Across the road and left past the first lot of animals, horses, who didn’t even know we were there, and through a couple of fields, then Brush Off decided he really didn’t want to do the words and pulled up hurt (so he said – Hah) so that’s why you’ve got this load of cobblers to read! The trail continued on round East Quantoxhead through more fields, one had cows and their calves, another had a bull with his ladies and a third had young bullocks who apparently took a shine to Floater when he was laying the trail, and kept him close company, they weren’t so sure about us though.A few footpaths later we reached the sea, turned right and reached the regroup on a grassy bank above a large group of youngsters roaming around on the foreshore below.After stuffing ourselves we continued on, turning inland past the carpark  and following the trail through – you guessed it – more fields until we came out onto Sea Lane which took us back to the car park.It was still a lovely evening so a large number of us sat outside until our goosebumps sent us inside.An enjoyable run Floater, many thanks.
