Mis-Guided Walk + Mapping Workshop Sat 27 Jan

Again my expectations were exceeded in terms of numbers. Hurray. Wrighhts + Sites had managed to navigate their way to Nowhere + had even made a flag which we duly + ceremoniously planted in the centre of the Felmores Shops area. Cathy, Phil, Steve + Simon each had a flag for North , South, East + West. Initially there were only six of us and North + East had already left teh car park when a van with seven more people arrived. So South + West were more people heavy.Pepe + I joined the South seeking expedition. Cathy had alos brought along a map of the Antartic with names of teh weather + satellite stations on it...mostly people's names. As we walked around we stopped whenever we found anythinig particularly interesting + decdided on a name for the spot. We wrote the name on pieces of board + held up the Adopted Name for a photo. We came across a Polar Bear lair, a Club Tropicana, Tyre Tree, Siuperstition COrner pr Mag's Pie Woods + Dead Man's Run. Also, a cat's leg torn offi ts body by..what? A fox? Who knows. The compass bearing was duly shared by all members of the expedition and we finally found our South Pole and planted the SOuth flag. Back at the cafe Steve was already busy inputting photos on his laptop. It was some time later when the third party turned up. And it was well after four andgetting fdark when I decided to send out a search party for Phil + Paula. Justat that moment they were spotted on the far horizon.
During the Mapping Workshop I finally had to fess up to Paula + Nathan thatteh Nevendon Tales were entirely make-believe! They have now enetred the stuff of local legend,which is perfect.
