A Walk in the Abridge area
It was a dark and stormy night. 16 EFOGERS tried to sleep, tossing and turning, concerned about the next day's marathon walk.
Thankfully, the storm passed leaving a calm but cold morning. Relieved, the intrepid 16 met their fearless leader at the start of the marathon. Penned in by high fences the feareless EFOGERS stomped joyfully onward, pleasantly surprised by the lack of mud. Over fields and through forests they travelled, finally reaching the first sanctuary: the beautiful medieval church at Lambourne End. After taking in its beauty, the quest continued - more unforgiving fields, more scary forests - until on the horizon the second refuge appeared: the watering hole known as The Blue Rooms Café, where a hearty welcome and delicious food was gleefully provided.
Fully refreshed, the EFOGERS ventured forth into the wilds once more, still surprised about the lack of mud...!!! More fields and forests were navigated, safely avoiding the many dangerous wild beasts of those parts. Eventually the intrepid wanderers returned to their waiting chariots, happy and thankful to have completed such a wonderful quest.
