last weeks words

I was first to arrive in the dark lay-by before the turn off to Sidmouth (which is too far) on St Andrews day, complete with typical Scottish liquid moonlight. Slowly cars began to arrive, including our new regular visitors from Otter Valley; after all we were on their home turf. We circled up with a few mad Scotts dressed in kilts and anything tartan they could find. The hares told us there were 4 long short splits and the usual fish hooks and back checks, and we will get a sweetie stop, FF was proudly carrying them in his sporran.

We were set off down the road to find our first check straight into the woods. Cousteau, Spocky and Boots went off to check it out, on one was called, followed by HOW MANY AND ON? HOW MANY AND ON? It was one and on apparently, as the hares forgot to mention. The trail lead up deeper into the woods where there was no shortage of mud and puddles in true hash style, and in keeping with the Scottish theme there were no shortage of hills, it would have been just as hilly in the Highlands!  It was then on to the first long short split taking us in a loop which re-joined the shorts and downhill for a change, the steep slope and mud got the better of me and I slipped up in front of PP, Puss in Bootless, Soapy and Whoopsie much to their delight as I received a big cheer. As we carried on down, all that could be heard was Puss in Bootless shouting I WANT MY BIKE!! I WANT MY BIKE!! As we were on a very good mountain bike trail.

On to another long short split which funnily enough was up hill to a check which took ages to find the right way, with many of us checking the same place twice, eventually Cousteau led us on to a regroup for the sweetie stop. We were set off again to find another long short split which took us up yet more hills and down the most slippery part of the trail, (again I fell over) then on to a regroup on the old Sidmouth railway line, where Boots in Puss and Quick Rukka were nowhere to be seen. When Slippery finally joined us, the shorts we told to wait behind and the longs were set off to follow the first part of the trail to On Home. We arrived back at the lay-by to find the some of the shorts and Boots-in-Puss and Quick Rukka had already got changed. Our considerate RA Spocky moved the circle away from the sleeping lorry drivers, and awarded the following Scottish down downs and scotch eggs.
