Well, that was by far the best run of the year (so far). We started at the square lake, and Graven took the FRBs on a hilarious lap of the lake before setting us off – the walkers skipped that bit and watched while we tried to figure out what was going on. I was a little retarded setting off, and the first few checks were solved as I caught up the walkers. Finally we got to a circle at the gate (with the dodgy lock), and I headed towards the hills, but didn’t find any paper. It was called from back to the left, so I cut across to rejoin them at the next alley. Except, I didn’t rejoin them, but instead somehow crossed the trail without anyone noticing (except perhaps Sloppy who was hiding from me).
I ended up the wrong side of a creek, heading in the wrong direction on paper from ABB’s last run, while the shouts disappeared to my right. Nevermind, I looped back over and rejoined a trail that was long since kicked out. I wanted exercise anyway. The trail headed up to the lower ridgeline, and I caught Tiptoe and his gaggle of walkers when we turned sharp to the right. Along the ridge, towards the 5 point junction. There was a confusion explosion of paper around the previous junction, that looked like someone had been unsure about kicking out a check. Not long after I saw Does Nothing coming towards me, backwards on trail, but not entirely sure what was going on.
We figured it out and I jogged off down the hill, the FRBs long since tucking into the post run beers. Nice set, and that initial cut back clearly caught me out and took me out of the game. I shall have to get back into this hashing thing.
