No that doesn't mean that I was doing sums whilst in the bath, but refers to a little game we played part way through today's run.
I met up with Ed, John and Julie at the barn this morning and we set off towards Healey Nab.
We ran up to the cairn in Healey Nab and then down through the woods and out onto the road before heading down into White Coppice.
From here we took a route I have never taken before which involved going over a ford in the road and up a hill, before continuing into a field. This is where navigation got a bit ropey and to keep us amused Ed came up with his rhyming game. He had to give clues to two words which rhymed, for example 'unstable seaside animal' = 'wonkey donkey'. On my turn, I couldn't think of anything but had just run past a bath being used as a trough so I came up with a rather pathetic 'clean sums' = 'baths maths'. Needless to say, the game didn't last long.
After a bit of map reading and finding our way through the fields, we came out onto a trail which leads to Brinscal but we turned off this and came out onto the road which eventually leads around to Great Hill.
Julie and John were heading out for four hours but I didn't want to be out that long today and neither did Ed so from Drinkwaters we headed back down to White Coppice and round Anglezarke back to Rivington.
As usual, a good fun morning with plenty of laughter!
