Conditions were perfect for tonight’s second club trail quest, with riders searching for clues to the south and west of Balloo.
Thanks to Peter Burrows at The Conservatory for some tasty treats at the finish.
The scores on the doors (literally…)
The Swifties took top team with a girl
And D&D were first team with a boy. And they got back in time for the England game :-)
Team “Are we Last?” rued their decision to run for home early, finishing with 6 minutes still on the clock.
The Cuatro Amigos missed second place by just 5 points.
The Busketeers took second, despite struggling to find that elusive up-side-down horse..
Team “Speak to me Goose” were clear winners. The committee of commissaires is reviewing their missing wind vane claim, but they would still be far enough ahead to win without those points. Impressive!
