Norham 2021

 Masons Arms, Norham.

Oboto Sobatmas were, inevitably, utterly incompetent as ever.

Having managed to arrive at Mad Wrasse Fort in some semblance of order, they then completely failed to leave as a group and split up within 300 yards. Even for these buffoons, that may be some sort of record.

Not wanting to feel they had peaked too early in the trip, they managed to fail to leave a carpark as a group at the next stop.

I know.

It was like herding cats, I tell you.

Still, they managed to avoid most of the dampness, although things got gusty on the tops over Reeth and Middleton on Teesdale.

Sunday's hangovers were cured with a bit of time travel. Leaving Norham at 09:30, the nav said it was 3hrs 30mins home. Two hours of back lanes later, they found themselves 3 hours from home. A while after that, 144 miles from home, and then 30 miles later, guess what? 144 miles from home.

You couldn't make it up, you really couldn't.

What a bunch.

Bumbling idiocy, ably demonstrated by The Far East Correspondent, The Cool District Librarian, The Public Relations Secretary, Vera, The Grand Mahout, Mad Wrasse, Obo Scribe and Medial Malleolus.
