St Patricks Day 2009

A short blast up the crocodile was organised. Geez, Silverfox, Fatboy, Te Rex, Mellonfarmer, Nelsie, Bugs and myself met at Halswell Quarry. We set off up the Crocidile. Short and good for tackling switchbacks but always a grunt. I love this uphill even though last night I was slow and last to summit. Up we went then out onto the grass slope above it, up up up and then the crest and down to the gate. Quick turn around and up and then down. Nelsie, Fatboy, Mellonfarmer follwed by Te Rex, and the rest of us. Cheekily I cut a corner to chase down Te Rex only to be chased by the others. Whoopy and fun. A cool down hill run. Poetry. Stop at the top of the incline and then down to the cars. Off to celebrate St Paddies day with Sandals and the old Irish girl herself, Mother ted. A lovely night.
