Please find my rushed and poorly cobbled together offering below: Run Report Sixteen cold, tucked-up individuals were met with miserable and blustery conditions on the top of the Douglas Crescent hill. There was a surprise appearance from Knicker Licker who has recently undergone surgery for a bionic knee and was eager to illustrate his athleticism later by standing up in the circle – with those obvious powers of healing, is no surprise that he’s taken to death-defying stunts later in life – what a legend!! Pensioner gathered the highly expectant participants in the driveway of Pensioner’s & Mango’s palatial palace for pre-run directions. Some sneering murmurs suggested that marks were likely to be few and far between based on Pensioner’s previous efforts – turns out, they were right. Most were unaware of the great 2021 chalk drought. However, surprisingly, there was a false trail, and everyone fell for it (without exception), although Bargoose’s tardiness in arriving late turned out to be strategic master-stroke, and he went from a long way last to handsomely first upon the call of “on-back”. Some front runners made their own trail (or as it appeared) in the absence of any marks and the rest followed mindlessly. Turns out, they were on the money, with the discovery of one of the very few marks on the way home – so it all worked out well, as by the time the front runners had returned, the fire pit was blazing and Mango had lashings of simmering hot pastries to bring up the core temperature. Upon formation of the circle, following a brief trip down memory lane, Pensioners “economically” marked trail was raised with a level of bravado, and in true Pensioner style, shrugged his shoulders and told everyone to build a bridge. There were a few fines, mainly Pensioner, even fewer jokes – Reece was given a down-down as a returning runner and the circle was closed in the usual manner before tucking into a raft of culinary delights expertly prepared by Mango. The evening was finished off with a Tim Tam and a beer or cider chaser before the crowd dispersed to slip into their flannelette pyjamas.
