Great run, crap directions, ...

..was probably a fair summation of #1729. Just under 7k with a maximum height below 100m and a total ascent of about 120m, it took 1 hour for Sex Sprinter to run an edited version until he failed to find the final check which seems to have disappeared, possibly eaten by cows, at which point he made up for the lost distance by running round the road. Almost everybody else seems to have done the same including the short runners, with Buk Toy seemingly being the only one who worked out where the paper actually went. However, no one seemed to have detected the fact that the run was a figure of eight with the trails crossing at just about the highest point on the hill.
An honorable mention for "Fak Thong", Buk Toys bat-eared dog who having lost touch with her master, rejected the option of following Only a Yolk on her slow trip round, probably on the basis that she thought she could get home faster on her own. As it transpired, OaY was probably about 5 minutes ahead, but full credit to the doggy for getting home alone.
And those directions. Yup! They were crap! Penned hurriedly in a spare 5 minutes at work on Thursday evening, they got posted instead of saved. From that point on it just seemed like every attempt to get them right made things worse. Even the HH3 directions proved to be a kilometer or so short of a turn off! Ah well, next week will be at Egg Towers so I can't get that wrong can I! (Can I?)
