The
Run and Walk |
The run starts uphill
For fun Fair Cop plays a game of "chicken" with live bee hives and gets away without being stung
More uphill trail
Downhill in the direction of the Equestrian centre
Uphill again! Mountain Goat in the foreground
Local dogs are excited to see all the hashers run by
A carpet of Spring flowers
Captain Sumo returns from checking for trail continuation at a check
Rear Entry runs past a vineyard
Fair Cop follows
Fair Cop has cunningly arranged the trail so that we meet up with the walkers
The walkers pose for a photo
Fair Cop poses next to his instruction to head down to the road
Getting to the road requires cutting through tall shiggy...
...and a rocky area of burnt-out pine woods
At last, the road leading back to the on-in and beers
