R*n 448: Hornby

I am probably the wrong scribe for this r*n. for me it went something like this……

It was a full moon and, shining on all the snow, it made everything almost as bright as day -- only the shadows were rather confusing.”

“Do you really mean, sir,’ said Peter, ‘that there could be other worlds—all over the place, just round the corner—like that?’ “Nothing is more probable,’ said the Professor”

“Oh, Aslan," said Lucy. "Will you tell us how to get into your country from our world?”

"I shall be telling you all the time," said Aslan. "But I will not tell you how long or short the way will be; only that it lies across a river. But do not fear that, for I am the great Bridge Builder.”

“If your Majesty is ever to use the Horn,” said Trufflehunter, "I think the time has now come.”
"We are certainly in great need," answered Caspian. "But it is hard to be sure we are at our greatest. Supposing there came an even worse need and we had already used it?”

"By that argument,” said Nikabrik, "your Majesty will never use it until it is too late.”

“They were pretty tired by now of course; but not what I’d call bitterly tired – only slow and feeling very dreamy and tired as one does when one is coming to the end of a long day in the open.”

“How Aslan provided food for them all I don't know; but somehow or other they found themselves all sitting down on the grass to a fine high tea at about eight o'clock.”

“But don't go trying to use the same route twice. Indeed, don't try to get there at all. It'll happen when you're not looking for it. And don't talk too much about it even among yourselves. And don't mention it to anyone else unless you find that they've had adventures of the same sort themselves. What's that? How will you know? Oh, you'll know all right. Odd things, they say-even their looks-will let the secret out. Keep your eyes open”

Alternatively

• Out of the car and booted at the pub,
• back into the car drive up the road a bit
• out of the car and r*n through a very muddy field
• turn left or was it right onto a lane
• chat a bit, r*n up a hill
• enjoy a bit of an up and down hill reminding myself that the reason I r*n is because of the great scenery and terrific company…..to the T junction….no sign of flour, people, chalk…?
• Turn round to rejoin those behind to find they have done the hash equivalent of opening the wardrobe door and closing it behind them, and I don’t know where I am, where anyone else is, where we’d started, the name of the on inn or where my phone is!
• Up hill down hill, up hill down hill still no people, flour, chalk….
• Up hill down hill, up hill down hill still no people, flour, chalk….
• Up hill down hill, up hill down hill still no people, flour, chalk….
• Cue the knights in shining lycra and time for the pub.

I don’t know what everyone else did.
