B*gger Reports:
Arranged at short notice, Butt Plug stepped forward to set trail #865 from the Lord Nelson pub in Burton Joyce – the place where Butt Plug has his paper round. Even with the draw of the AGM and the promise that anyone who didn’t turn could be lumbered with a horrible job, the pack was distinctly ‘light’, being Butt Plug the hare, Too Tuf and Chicki, Barritone and myself (B*gger).
The pack headed out along the main road back towards Nottingham, the first check being after about ½ mile. This check had obviously been set with a bigger pack in mind, as I managed to go out of sight & therefore out of earshot of everyone else checking out a falsey. Too Tuf had found the correct path leading towards a busy playing field. Unfortunately, when Butt Plug set the trail, they weren’t playing football or practising Archery! Luckily there was a footpath on the other side of the hedge to the Archery targets (it was OK, it was a hedge impervious to arrows fired 150 yards away) enabling us to get back to the trail. A long straight path along the side of the railway, lead us to another straight concrete track leading to the left. At the next check, due to the small pack, Chicki was seen checking and of greater concern she didn’t come back, choosing instead to short cut using a route she devised on her own. A few checks later we heading for the river Trent, although the arrow pointed the pack in odd direction – towards a smaller river and a tunnel – as there was flour down there, some of the pack (me), carried on through the tunnel. Apart from a few cows blocking the route, the trail eventually found its way to the River Trent, which the pack followed apart from some minor deviations back to the pub.
As there were only a few tables available to non-eaters and these were all occupied it was decided to take advantage of the sunshine and sit outside – where a short sitting circle was conducted by Too Tuf who also had a cough up some money to ensure that all present got a DD. Chicki got one for blatant checking, B*gger for doing the river crossing even though nobody else did it, Barritone for not being able to catch a train to a town with a station but the first available train on a Sunday was at 6 pm and so had to peddle a good 20 miles on his rusty steed, Too Tuf awarded one to himself for having to buy some the DDs out of his own pocket. Butt Plug was given the final DD for setting an interesting trail which was mainly on virgin territory trail at short notice.
