The
2008 Ravensworth Run & BBQ
Report
by Dave Simpson
By
kind permission of our hosts Steve & Dot (our own BBQ queen) we had
another excellent run around lower Teesdale with a refreshment stop en-route
all organized by the Steve’s with a quest to find all the pub names, and
there was quite a few on the route. At this stage I would like to assure
aspiring members that the cars are the priority in this club not the stuff
that comes in a bottle, isn’t it? However it really does help! Or maybe
I’ve got that wrong. The route itself took us up the usual scruffy but
interesting little lanes and across the lovely higher ground with views of
reservoirs and hillsides, which are hard to match anywhere. As usual we got
well spread out but regrouped to take on liquids after which a mad dash
back to Ranch Wardle to be first to attack the stocks of ale and food. The
remainder of the evening deteriorated into the usual riotous behavior with
Darren getting the treatment as this was his first time, well done Darren; I
hope Susan can repair the socks.
Owing
to the threat of inclement weather I couldn’t persuade Kate to share a
tent for the night so the MG was abandoned and a lift back to town arranged
as midnight approached. I am informed the remainder of the night became
distinctly blurred amongst those that stayed.
Yes
Dave, it did get a bit blurred, but so did you !
Though
not as blurred as some I could mention, eh Gary ?

Once
again many thanks to Steve and Val for the entertainment and Steve and Dot
for the food and accommodation.
