The Fantastic Four

By Leave a Comment

The Fantastic 4 set out to explore the unknown dimensions of life in the frozen wastes. The Thing arrived early for a change (2 mins) and the Invisible Man only just appeared in time. We set off along Middlehowe Road at a good pace passing two hardened runners turning out to be Mrs Fantastic and friend. The Human Torch found it tough to get ignited so the others had to slow for him. The ride to Fiddle Drill was quite fast paced and there were some icy moments, which slowed the pace. Mr Fantastic had to forgo the repast as he had more inventions to create back at base. The Thing and Invisible Man ate well but the Human Torch tried to set things alight with the flapjack. Invisible Man made his meal disappear quickly. The Thing then made a remarkable complaint about the Invisible Man making him wait at the start as he was so late! Methinks just jealous that it was the first time anyone had arrived after The Thing in history! We managed to get back from the icy realms safe and well, having enjoyed sunny aspects.

Cast James Gilbert, Colin Garvin, Michael Kerrigan, Matt Meade. Can you guess their characters?

There is no longer a breeze of a ride in the BK team, twenty is plenty being replaced with a faster pace. 5 set off from MC and pick up Andy at Tickton Hall. Neil, Jenny & Dave, Dave and Matt make up the 5. Clockwise route to Hornsea is decided and the ride is glorious in the sun and a pleasant breeze. A fairly normal ride to Hornsea was enjoyed by all, no Mr Grumps this ride. Hornsea Mere was in all its glory and we all had a pleasant repast. 

We blasted back to Mappleton, Great Hatfield but missed the turn off towards Long Riston so added a mile to the ride before realization sank in. Long Riston negotiated the back road towards Routh was torturous with the heat and a head wind to contend with, which may have contributed to the accident. 

Four of us involved, but poor Jenny being the worst off.  Dave sped off like the Knight in Shining Armour to collect his car to pick up the fairly hurt maiden for medical attention. Fortunately another Knight turned up in a pick up first and whisked her off to the hospital with a suspected broken wrist. Hopefully it isn’t but Jenny stoically thought it was. Childbirth must hurt as bad as they say chaps! Watch this space. Dave & Jenny will hopefully keep us updated.
