Lovely 10 mile run.
Mudskimmer took us on this mud-less route over lush green fields where placid cows lolled and chewed the cud in idyllic settings. Surely this is England as intended?
Never mind the tree that almost took us out just a few fields from TT’s. It having the temerity to come down just after we had passed it. What a nerve! Or, the bed of rampant nettles we had to negotiate to attain field access.
I must say that at this point it was most thoughtful of out leader to take the initiative and show leadership by clearing a pathway through this encroaching menace.
Then for a moment I though the shouts emanating from her persona as her bare legs made contact with the ripened leaves of this feared plant were of pleasure but soon realised they were of pain as she instinctively made a dash to the safety of the field.
After settling down we were off again, leaving trails in the damp grass to eventually arrive at Horton village with its quaint old church at its center.
From there it didn’t take the troops long to return to TT’s and soon tucking into hot sausage rolls and other tasty offerings the hosts so kindly put on for us.
wonderful time!
