Run Number: 1349
Monday 9th June 2008
Hares: Toy Boy Tom
Picked up Twissel who was giving us a flying visit from his home in Lincoln where his bidie-in lives and Hanover where he spends most of his time. A travelling man who is just about to get re-wed. Once bitten twice shy, not much sense this man - so look out for his stag on 16th August........
We left slightly early because I thought the traffic at the Brig 'o' Dee may be a congested, flew straight through with no hold-ups arriving at the Tollohill Wood carpark dead early. Not early enough, the carpark was filled with Banks 'o' Dee school kids and parents out for a walk in the woods. Total cock up by the hare! or was it?
Slowly the the parents and kids disappeared and holes in the carpark appeared, just in time for most of the mismanagement to snap them up. For those wanting to get on the mismanagement next year, it is a perk of the position that ordinary members of the pack give up their parking spaces for the mismanagement team!
For some reason I was asked to don a bright orange bib and hold a silver horn with a black rubber ball at one end. At which point Numbskull awarded the pre run down down to Twissel for getting wed!
OnOn was called and we waddled around in circles, which felt like a spiral, on flour but not crossing trail. As requested I dutifully kept pressing my rubber ball until it squeaked. Then all of a sudden we were out of the woods on to a road! Hippo and Watsoff were disappearing in opposite directs, both wrong as it happened. Thrupennies had picked up the trail, no problem and off we headed for the monument on the hill for views of Deeside and Cults. At this point the in trail was a tad close to the out trail, but with a bit of diplomatic calling Nipples got the pack heading off on the out trail again. On through Banchory Devenick and what appeared to be an old landscaped garden, with streams and ponds. Mrs T, Pink Panther and Struth where in deep discussion about womanly type issues, PMT, HRT that sort of thing!
The trail followed the burn and went under the South Deeside road and flowed into the river Dee. On we ran to Brown's bridge, allegedly built by Father Brown, not Father Abraham, to allow his parishioners to cross from Mannofield to Banchory Devenick church. This could all be a load of bollox, but it passes the time of day!
Here we found the sweety check, occupied by the front running sweeties and of course Cinders! After a brief history lesson and a mini Mars, off we went in search of beer. As I mentioned earlier, the in trail was already found and the beer check was occupied by the walking wounded and in one case what looked like a corpse! Nuff said, Drillbit, Numbskull and Pigiron had snaffled the good beer, leaving only fizzy girly lager sh*t and something made of apples.
Back at the carpark, The Count Sans 'O' got out his errection and set fire to it - not a pleasant sight!
Down downs:
Numbskull apologised for being a useless RA, but gave tips for potential future RAs on how to be a dickhead and not get away with it....
Tip number 1 - choose a colour, "erm" Pink - Down down to One Foot and Struth.... wait for it.....you guessed it, "and Pink Panther".
Tip number 2 - try and rope in someone else, LS to the rescue, Penguin for having pleated troosers.
Tip number 3 - never trust the GM to assist, they generally talk more crap than the RA.
Tip number 4 - don't forget the Hare - Toy Boy Tom, a good relaxing run and a good social circle afterwards
Tip number 5 - Give up and go home.
Then dinner was served - quarter pounders, which as usual Harley was already eating after ignoring the instruction to form a circle.......
