THE LONDON TRAMPERS AT WOODHAM FERRERS - 19th May.
"Lost". Not so much a ramble more like a shamble. Relying on cow
pats and bush markers does not work. Twenty six turned up for this one - not
bad.
When we did the pre-walk it seemed pretty straightforward, but
when it came to doing the walk ten minutes in and the route just didn't seem to
work out. Like a scene from a Benny Hill Show, we turned back and had another
go but we were lost!
After a lot of apologies - I had to admit defeat, 45 minutes into
the walk we headed back to the pub, had a look around the local churchyard and
went into the pub for lunch a little bit early.
You can imagine the jibes I was getting. This is the first time
that I have got lost and it's one I want to forget, but I'm sure I won't be
allowed to for a while. In the future I will have to use a rather large ball of
string!!
As a consolation I did have plenty of offers to guide me back to
my car in the pub car park!
The meal was good and the group were still smiling, so it couldn't
have been that bad.
Fingers crossed next time or I will get the
sack and have to take on the role of
"Tail-end Charlie".
