HOMEDIARYWHO THEY WERETHE CLOGGERS

Teddy Bears Picnic 2005

 

The 27 assembled Cloggers (& their teddies):

 Canary (Rob & Julie), Chalkie (Simon), Chimes (Simon & Debbie), Clive (Clive & Kit), Grey Wolf (Del), Jane, Mick & Janice Young, Nigs, Olkno9 (Ian & Linda), Precious Metal (Garf & Sue), Quiney (John & Sandra), Rod, Silverone (John & Dawn), Stuey (Stu & Lainey), Trickster (Rik), Lensman (Paul) and Roxxo (Paul & Carol).  Sadly missed was Skippy who got held up in France due to the strikes - you were missed mate.

A great day amongst great folk, with the weather kind to us for most of the day and blistering hot during the picnic.  This is the second Teddy Bears Picnic and it certainly lived up to last year's first one.  And John & Sandra did us all proud with a superb spread - very well done guys.  Oh, and Clive managed to set the record for the number of U-turns!  Three within half an hour - that'll take some beating :-)

Clive & Kit's teddy sits in eager anticipation and excitement for the off from home.

The meet-up at the Tickled Trout saw all but Roxxo and Lensman gather together on-time.  Roxxo & Lensman were meeting us at Malham Tarn ... more on that later!

So bang on time we left for the run up through the Forest of Bowland to a short break at Dunsop Bridge.  The next stop was to meet Roxxo and Lensman at Malham Tarn but.... 

...there turns out no longer to be any public road access to the tarn so we did U-turns and wandered up and down until miraculously we bumped into each other!  So instead of Malham Tarn we stopped above Arncliffe looking down into a fine example of a glaciated valley.
