Trail: 20 braved the
falling snow for tonight’s steeplechase around Chaddesley, it was a swift hash
too, in order to keep ourselves warm.
Heading up behind Fold Farm, across the main road and into the fields
where Clodhopper had a bit of a mare keeping us under control, Boris was
shirking his responsibilities and Wrong threatened to leave. Getting back on track, trotting up through
the Point-to-point ground and around the farms where the ground started getting
icy and boggy, leaving us all with freezing hooves. A lovely downhill run through Chaddesley
woods and to the 3rd HH where the offer of a sort cut was ditched
for us to continue with the full trail – on on!
Back through the lanes, seeing Dr Whiplash broke out into a canter,
passing the rest of us, and then the final furlong to the on inn to enjoy some
wonderful fodder.
Down downs: awarded by
Doggy Fashion to Clodhopper for his great (and topical) hash, although she
wasn’t too impressed with the freezing muddy puddles; The Fiddler for his
crafty addiction; Slim Boy Fat for falling (and not requiring the shotgun);
Crossdresser for his Mystic Meg predictions; Legover for 3 counts of smugness;
and finally, to The Pro for bringing along her virgin pet to the on inn.
