WW 28th January 2009


This admirable walk was led by Mr. Kent demonstrating his uncanny navigational skills leading us all out to Shelstone Tor, up to Branscombe's Loaf for a revitalising drink and snack and then down to Sourton Tors making exemplary time to retire to the Bearslake Inn where his notoriety was immediately validated by the lady barmaid.

The evening was somewhat tainted by the discovery that one of our esteemed members is being impersonated by a lookalike, albeit that the lookalike's picture revealed a quite convincing similarity although far too portly. The description of Mr Kent's close colleague as having 'extensive knowledge and general joie de vivre' who could afford us an 'enlightening and entertaining evening' of pleasure for a paltry £30 rather gave the game away as did his offer of 'extolling virtue' and pointing to many of our 'points of interest'. We all trust this scallywag will be outed at the first opportunity.

The evening concluded with the identification of a need to find pubs where the calorific value of beer is clearly displayed rather than items of such notional interest as price and specific gravity.

You really do have to be there ...
