Luckily all were redirected by Twisted sister arriving in convoy before disappearing down a quarry sized pothole entering the carpa rk.\n\nGM called order and one by one the cars emptied to produce a decent turnout and the remaining doggers cars looked on in amazement thinking th ey had won the lottery.\n\nThe usual speel and domestics from the GM then out of the darkness two visiting faces from Drake appeared Goldfish and Ph eronome probably two of the most happiest people I have had the pleasure t o meet. Nice Buns had a better invitation apparently vacuuming and dusting a few of the farm barns!! Nothing to do with the weather. Then the dreade d volunteer for the words……..silence\, so here I am😊 the GM handed over to the Hare….me so the usual lies were spouted hills\, no hills\, r oad 3 and 5 hold some ones hand etc\n\nThe walkers circled up to receive their specific instructions Goolie and Ging Gang and a couple others quest ioning whether they will make it back before dawn\, running through the am ended walkers route due to the thick fog and drizzle. Running this through Goolie a man of the world who will know exactly where he is to be told he had no idea.. my concern escalated and then noticed Ging Gang in a rather fetching pair of her Gucci hashing high heels darling.\n\nThe long and sh orts were off into the mist to the first check head torches scurrying like ants around everywhere some of the longs following the shorts and walkers \, me trying to redirect thinking oh no I am in trouble this time how many am I going to lose on the moors!! Fortunately the early concerns were unf ounded as all reconverged before entering the first section of woods.\n\nC hing Chong and pickpocket bounding out of the woods followed by Olive and Lotarse who got stuck in a time loop of going round and round before final ly working out the long loop came back to follow the shorts\, Rentry also bounded on the first L & S split heading towards Yelverton before realisin g and catching back up weaving his way through the shorts back to the fron t. Onwards towards to next potential disaster.\n\nUp up and up into the ne xt wooded section where the walkers split right back to home along the lea t\, the shorts and longs persevered with splits and checks\, all kicked ou t by the longs and plenty of shouting Rentry bellowing like a lion imagini ng him beating his chest like the Alpha he undoubtably is with the rest fo llowing suite like a Amazonian mating ritual. To the top of the climb for the shorts to descend back down a trail named Endor weaving through the wo ods before also following the leat back to the rebel strong hold.\n\nThe l ongs ascended onto the open moor\, the route amended as the pea soup thick mist made me realise I didn’t have enough liability insurance to lose a ll the longs up there\, so what I thought was safer route ended up being j ust a treacherous\, up down and around the string of long head torches and frantic calling could be heard\, even the sheep were taking shelter somew here else. Stumbling across Goldfish and Pheronome still smiling despite o ne headtorch not working producing a replacement from their short shorts a nd I just thought they were happy to see me and they were off.. the race w as on Rentry ahead but these local lads knew they could reel him in with t heir local knowledge.\n\nFlage decided she needed a sit down not once but several as she did not get wet enough the first time!!!! Back down into th e woods bounding toward Norseworthy the FRB’s diligently marking the che cks disappeared into the distance. Weaving back and forth eventually findi ng the one check that wasn’t marked with a back track\, hoping to slow t he FRB’s speed but to no avail it was soon discovered of course by Rentr y the Drake contingent apparently giving him a good run for his money.\n\n And with that most returned safe to the carpark………. some almost head ing back out around from the first set of marks\n\nLike a proud parent wat ching the headlights disappear from the carpark as the masses descended to the pub for much needed food and refreshments. Leaving two cars lonely in the dark\, decisions decisions. Fortunately knowing Lotarse had a tracker secreted about her person I made a quick scoot around to see if I could l ocate them before returning to the pub to get a update on their location f rom the skynet.\n \nIn the pub the masses were all engaged in the usual ch at about the shit trail and who was faster than who even though its not a race!! with Twisted Sister studying the tracker which needed internet to a ctually work and with no Wifi in the pub managing to persuade the bar lad ies to get on the secret pub one\, then rendering anyone trying to pay for drinks contactless unable too!!! They are back to the carpark Hoorah Hoor ah though that’s not the end of it…..watching them trundle along endin g up at another pub The Burrator Inn before finally arriving in time for l ast orders\n \nThe Overshot took the mic to RA and with much a plume deliv ered a rousing history of the day and victimising Dimmers for a number of reasons into a Burns night style amusing Ode to Hashing referencing Gaffer s Buttocks\, Goolies Plump face\, Rust Bottom is a cage fighter and the gr eat GM Rizzo\, with something about it not being a race!!!!!\n \nDown Down s arrived for\n \nTT the Hare\nGoolie for his plumpness\nChing Chong for t he time loop\nGoldfish and Pheronome for nearly beating Rentry\nFlage for sitting down to much (turns out Flage has been keeping a secret….
