Best laid plans and all that! An accident on the motorway had gridlocked Leicester so we were left in limbo as to when to leave.

Nic and Jim went on ahead while I held on for any latecomers, as it turned out none more showed but Lindsay had been so gridlocked she had divert direct to task. Not much of a run for Lindsay tonight but we shall let her off as she is doing 11 miles tomorrow.

The advance party of Mel, Jeneatte, Leigh, and Shobha had fortunately arrived on time and sought out our contact. He had gone home!!! but no fear, instructions had been left with a colleague.

We were shown to the woods with two wheelbarrows in tow.

Right then, straight sticks we need to keep cos we use those to build shelters, curly sticks are no good, they can go on the woodpile for the fire!

OK????? Clear as mud. What constitutes a straight stick vs a curly stick, especially when you are working under headlights.

We did our best, loaded up a trailer full of wood and a second pile on the floor ready to be transported. Task owner very grateful for our help.

If anyone had gone down those woods tonight they would have definitely got a big surprised. Red shirts swapped tonight for witches, skeletons and a bloodstained man, the costumes looked very impressive.

It was just Jim and Me on the way back so we ditched the fitness session and had a good old natter instead. Jim retired today and his daughter gets married on Saturday. Happy retirement Jim and we hope the wedding speech goes well.
