Hi Ray , Your post on the board ( as opposed to threaded ) is out of chronological order ,easily viewed by clicking between the two .
I enjoyed your reply to Jeremey , and am in sympathy with your route rejection/qualify . It is not dissimilar to that which i last submitted and was asked for grid references , even though mine did not involve beer ( beer is good ) a song one of our TGO stalwarts sings with vigour ( alas his name escapes me ) . Did Bert vet your route ? . He did mine and rejected a very ordinary way thru . It is why i feel that John and now Sue/Ali have a very difficult job ,and i am reluctant to reapply . Jeremey has this new word , which really is "barter and has been in use for eons and involves mutual agreement . But ( sorry Humphrey , i but you no buts ) i like your input , but cannot fathom whether or not it involves the Fungal which i think is a route that i have used but forget where .

Maybe Jeremy meant 100 shorter words...?

"Mine is ******* Genius"

There, that's only 4.

Probably not what Jeremy meant.

Oh.. I added the ****

You can add your own word.

West 2 East

Job done! Two words and a number.

Andrew, ours is just two words: tick trail! By the way, it is very good of Jeremy to let us all know his route.

Maria and Stuart

... and is that something to be proud of?..

In a hundred words OR FEWER:

The great apprehension, fun, fine company, great wetness, wonderful solitude, cold wind, soggy ground, grass in my tea, more fun, C&W , even more wetness, old friends, new friends, memories, reflections, sunburn, wet feet, a crap chicken dinner with even crappier fizzy beer, kisses from Sue & Ali....and a very lonely train journey home.

Yes, anon - if you're going to raise the question, the answer is that I believe it is.

It shows that when the best laid plans have ganged awry, as they are wont to do, my FWAs have proved sound; and on occasions when things have gone so far awry as to make on-the-hoof improvisation necessary, I have managed to pull it all back together.
