There was brazen short-cutting\, a smatterin g of minor injuries - a turned ankle here (Livewire)\, a leafy stumble the re (Rizzo) - and\, most remarkably of all\, some admirable trail-scouting to weave us back along the pretty (root-gnarly) river-bank and up through the woods on the opposite side of the road from whence we started. (More than one hasher was utterly disorientated as this realisation dawned\, par ticularly after suffering the earlier dismay that followed battling up th rough another bramble-thicket - sorry\, 'path' - only to NOT find ourselve s back at the carpark.
