The bones of this run are meal based, they spend 2.5 hours before the fire yarning to the proprietor at the lunch stop in order to get the day really started.  After zipping round the lanes in the afternoon, managing in the course of their travels to find a really heavy shower of hailstones for their pains, they then seek another warm fire at the teastop – and yes, you have guessed correctly, another 2.5 hours before their fire !  Arriving home at 9pm tired out after a strenuous day keeping the home fires burning.
