1760: Directionally challenging!

Yesterday's relay-hare run was not for the faint hearted. Logged at 7.8k by the official GPS with unofficial estmates as high as 9k, it never quite seemed to settle into a logical course with the result that the short run abandoned the task of keeping up and headed home not long after the first hand over.
Stick Insect set the tone when, after heading North out of the runsite, he rejected crossing the Borogam road into familiar territory and turned back towards the run site before handing over to Lanky Yanee, more or less obliging him to set off in the same direction where he eventually met the quarry wall and just waited to be found. Egghead and Buk Toy then took the run to what should have been its limit, had Stick Insect not then decided to take it even further, before realising that to be impossible and being "caught" attempting to retrace his steps. Egghead again stepped into the breach, restoring some sort of directional logic, relinquishing the bag to Stick Insect (again) and pointing him in the direction of the now more or less accessible runsite. Sticky however had other ideas and after initially setting a course for the run site, lurched rightwards almost hitting the out trail before a final handover to Yardstick. By That time some of the more directionally-savvy runners had realised how close the runsite actually was and left Yardo to it. He added a further loop to the in-trail before bringing the remaining runners home in about 1 1/2 hours.
