Run 867-Estepona

Sunday 5th June 2005

Hares: Limp Toed Sloth

So another 4 pm start (2 pm GMT) sun at its hottest! Mad dogs and all that stuff !!

Swiss Roll had kindly offered me a lift to the run. At 2.45 she called to say she would be late picking me up, nevertheless at 3.15 we were on our way. Progress was not too fast but, had I not insisted that we take the junction 157 turn off, we would have made the start. The 157 junction is the Toll Motorway back to San Pedro.

Eventually, after a sight seeing tour of Estepona city centre, we arrived at the lonely cars and hunted around for the start of the trail. After a relatively short time we heard the ON ON calls of the pack but unfortunately choose a short cut to the voices by way of prickle factor 110 !!!!

Having finally caught the pack we joined them in making ever increasing circles to discover where the trail may have gone. Dipper, Gobichov and I found what might have been the true trail but it petered out and despite playing the ever increasing circle game again failed to discover it.

Thus we were forced, to follow the example of the remainder of the pack and cut across country to the beer stop. It was a saving grace that the beer truck was visible across a valley. On reflection that may have been Limp Toed intention, maybe knowing he had fucked up the trail.

Finally, all have quaffed the amber liquid, it was off through a building site to the beach. Limp personally directing us as we crossed a roundabout. A gentle amble along the shore line brought us to an under pass, where again Limp was waiting, just in case, and then ON IN on the road.

The circle was called to order by GM ( Stiff Fanny) Sins were invented and forgiven by the RA ( Dipper). El Cid was awarded a superb 550 Run hat ( good choice !!!)
