I believe the venue might change next year so if we are to visit the cave we will have to do it ourselves.<br />It was indeed muddy and took me about 1/2hr at home to clean it off the boots. Glad we wasn’t wearing trail shoes though.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-26094123114064258602012-12-18T22:56:52.288+00:002012-12-18T22:56:52.288+00:00Parts of that walk look a tad familiar... especial...Parts of that walk look a tad familiar... especially the muddy/marshy bits :-)<br /><br />Did you clamber up to the cave for a look-see?BG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18025972482224907021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-23922396049663837352012-12-12T11:09:32.587+00:002012-12-12T11:09:32.587+00:00Martin, Now you wouldn't expect me to grass on...Martin, Now you wouldn't expect me to grass on fellow participants would you. We did Google the name of the church. But it wouldn't have made any difference to the result. Would you like a slice of chocy back.<br />I think the paracetamol kept me going.

And are you inferring that Mick and Gayle were cheating? If so their prize may need to be withdrawn. A stomach pump may be required. Pain may be involved!Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-69695090719195043062012-12-12T06:29:27.801+00:002012-12-12T06:29:27.801+00:00Hi Jeff,

The chap i thought was Mike was sat next to Jeff at lunch. Does that help to ID. Sorry 'erm? Did i get Mick and Gayle right? No wonder i couldn't remember which church was in the quiz.

Regarding the whiskeys on Saturday night: we have a proverb in Finnish which says that if spirits, tar and sauna do not cure the illness then it's going to kill you. It seems that the couple of whiskeys cured you this time! :)-maria-https://www.blogger.com/profile/00769586507003743048noreply@blogger.com
