a heavy mist had moved in on Fairycastle just before the start and to my sheer delight I found I brought the bar mount instead of helmet mount for my light
a few quick nibbles on an emergency carrot sorted the peepers and off we went.
Across to 2 rock it was Karl and Greg in front with me behind them, followed by Nigel, Conor, Flan and MAD Micheal (the lad who completely wrecked himself last week had come back for more)
Onto the path Karl opened a good lead, with Greg on a hefty dh rig tearing along giving me a hard time trying to catch him
The sharp right for the aerials caught Karl out and I managed to slip ahead and hang onto it the rest of the way
We thought Micheal had impaled himself somewhere or was off wrestling deer but he finally freewheeled it down with a double-knotted chain

fair play to those who turned up, this weeks reward was Jaffa-centred tea cakes - yeah - ye missed it - they were lovely
