Hare Fiery Tw*t tells
us about the trail she's laid
On On!
That way! But should we believe her?
She shows us her blue
arrow pointing uphill from the road
Jogging across the vineyards
FT shows us the way. Unusually helpful coming from a hare. What's the catch?
The trail crosses behind the stables and we get a view of some of the horses
Mmm! A trick?
Many convenient rocks in the fields to sprinkle flour on
We come across the wall surrounding an ancient church
Nice friendly dog. Not many of these in this area.
Heading up the hillside
Wild cyclomen
Fair Cop makes his way up and across the rough ground of this field
Now the trail heads down

The runners gather together before heading off
The hare on her check
Back at the stables. We earlier ran behind the wall on the left.

THE CIRCLE
Stand-in RA Fair Cop hands Fiery Tw*t a down-down beer.
Traditionally, the hare is the first to get a down-down.
