#ButtyStillRidesAcoustic
Weather : Wet/damp/misty …but improving . A mild 15c at 23:45 !
Notes:
– After last week’s poor turnout we have the Magnificent 7
- El Pres decrees it will be a classic circuit of the forest , and no deviations over fences to do the naughty bits in the woods are allowed
- Ye Olde King’s head has been booked and we arrive with just a couple of minutes to spare . Although we have two al fresco tables booked we are offered a big table inside..my goodness seven around one table inside a pub feels like a return to some form of normality !
- The damp conditions have led Bern to don his “magic wellies” which seem to give him extra oomph up the climbs . Are they e-Wellies ?
- Talking of e-matters …Butty has gone acoustic this week and arrived on his Trek
- Charity seemed to be extra roughed up this week – especially the extension
- Food , Service and beer choice at Ye Olde King’s head were top notch …esp the Long Hop and Atlantic Pale Ale.
- Ribaldry levels were turned up to 11 even before the arrival of the cheeky guest star El pud and a most jovial Ruth (to ferry back a refreshed Troll)
- Bern encounters a biblical plague of frogs and toads on his ride home
