Facebook was alive with discussion as to what time to start . Kenny was under orders to be home for 11 ..or else. We never found out what the “or else” was but he was very subdued and didn’t ridicule my new steed nearly as much as I expected . He managed however to coalesce ( Tim’s word not mine) an elite crew including John (SCO) , Mr Power and Doc Lewis to start at 8. Tim was also under the thumb today for some undisclosed reason and departed early.
the rest of us met at the approved hour at the Glen and lo and behold were greeted but the return of Mr Cooper (E) who has not been seen for what seems like years , hopefully it won’t be a flash in the pan. Also joined by Mr O who eloped from the Rossi for the day , tranfer fees will have to be discussed. Paul came back for more punishment and Mr Scullion was even on time …I kid you not.
What a day , sunshine and dry trails , Burma , Sallys Yard stopping only to greet a wayward bunch of 6.1ers. Mast , down by the Gully which Paul was properly introduced to , Fallow , Into trails at tunnel road , over to Red Bog diverting only to view the sheep pen with a few to a new trail from Castle Bog. Home via trails and wall .
Great day with good crowd , hopefully a sign of things to come.
