The hare, the tortoise and the blue tit..

Date: Sun 30th March
Distance: 18 km (11.2 miles)
Location: Hertford, Bramfield, Tewin.
Participants: Nikki, Phil, Gee and Lurchio

The weather perked up on Sunday the 30th, which encouraged Nik, Pip, Gee and Lurch for a wander over a few fields and stuff. Don't ask me to get the route off to a tee as I had my head down looking at cabbages, but i know we covered 18km or 11 and a half miles in approx 3 hours 20 mins. We started off at NRA and headed off towards Bramfield, then off to Tewin, did some kind of a loop and turned back towards Bramfield near Tewinbury farm before heading home past some Sele farm kids that were either having a barbeque or setting light to some evidence.
Pip set off like a hare at first, soon leaving Lurch bringing up the rear once again. Gee put in a superb effort again, having already put in a morning shift - he likes his badge and he wants another - he won't stop until he looks like that guy whos covered in liverpool badges on the Kop. Was a good pace all the way round, have to say my legs ached in the evening and my heel is sore today, luckily my own personal masseuse came to the rescue with a magic foot rub.
Things I learnt on this particular walk - Nikki doesn't like cows; Gee likes drinking out of baby bottles; we all get fat fingers; oh yes, and that someone in our group, I won't let on her name to preserve her anonymity, has a very vocal missing pipe, which on a clear day you could probably hear in Stevenage.
I failed miserably in finding out how many churches there are in the UK, there must be something wrong with google, but I'm pleased to report that I am the proud owner of a Worcester cdi 30 boiler, probably a diesel.
