Not since the infamous trip to Thurlstone have we endured quite so execrable a route as that served up by the good Cap’n this evening. Absolutely no idea whatsoever where we went – hopefully the webmaster will be along in due course with a track to throw some light on the question – but frankly we might have been on any one of the many sh1tty footpaths in the area and it would have made little difference. That said, we all enjoyed ourselves in the sometimes persistent rain, enjoyed young Mr Barber’s donation of a flask of Glenmorangie – thanks Chris – and took some considerable pleasure in pointing out to the Cap’n the error of his ways. It’s also possible that I’m a wee bit biased in my assessment, Eoin having noted my David Starkey tendencies; but let’s wait to see if the webmaster can find anything more positive to draw from the whole sorry experience.
Here’s a track so that Willy can see where we went. The webmaster had little idea where he was for almost all the route, but at least he started his gps watch. A quick fiddle on RouteBuddy shows we did > 1.5 miles of road (is this a record?), leaving nearly 6 miles of lovely mud.
