R*n 851: Whitbarrow

Sunday 10th December 2023 at 11:00am Daytime AGPU

Water water everywhere!

On a wet weekend day we gathered at the On Inn and waited for the hares to awwive. Once they welcomed us we all set off and wended our way along the wet trail. Cyber and I were walking in wellies on the wimps trail wondering what we were doing wading through watery weeds, over wossy banks and along wet woads with Forever Blowing. The wambo's wandered along in front and the other wimps wandered behind. There was water, water everywhere. At points we wondered where the trail went so we fabwicated wonky wicker awwows to warn the others wanderers of the way to go. We wondered where certain hounds were but wealised we'd see them ewentuwally - you know who you were. There were waterfalls all over the place, in the wivers and on the woads and more water, water everywhere. We went up hills, through woodlands, down slippery slopes and wondered where the watering stop was when we wealised we were there with a hare. More wimps wended their weary way to join us and we watered ourselves with wonderful dwinks.

There was still water, water everywhere!

Where were the wambo's? We wondered if they were wandering and wending their weary way over hills, through wetlands and woodlands.

The wimps wandered along the trail and wondered at the whopping amount of water, water everywhere - in the air, in the fields and in our clothes. A taxi service awwived to give a lift to any weary wimps as the watery woad went on and on back to the On Inn. Oh wonders of wonders - the weary wambo's awwived!

A wonderful trail in watery conditions - thanks wee hares.

We all gathered at the welcoming Gilpin Inn for food and the AGPU which was all wery conwiwial and wonderful.
