This last Sunday we were back on our hares' spectacular deck - the one on which we enjoyed our 2020 Christmas party. But the view was very different this time:
In fact standing on the deck was a bit like being on the deck of a windjammer rounding the Horn. Despite the size on the raindrops, they were still being blown horizontally at times. And only the hardiest of souls could take it for very long:
The rumour is that not everybody headed off on the trail (really?) and that both runners and walkers cut it a bit short. Runner Banger was wearing trail shoes with a Goretex lining - which worked a treat at first, but failed to keep his feet dry when we met up with some calf-deep and then knee-deep puddles. Then to add injury to immersion, the wet soles slipped as he was straddling a metal gate, with agonising results!
Some drenched walkers:
Driven in from the deck, and dry once more, we enjoyed a selection of meaty and vegetarian and gluten-free and gluten-rich pasta and salad. Many, many thanks to our hares B&W and Trudi Fruti for their hospitality, and especially for letting us (25 of us, we think) indoors! Here's some more of Snappy's candid camerawork:
Cadbury and Idle Vice are planning a frocked-up, gin-soaked Hash Femmes outing on June 5th. Male designated drivers should take note of the date as well!
