only two beer stops along the way. As ever the conversation was
enjoyable and we all got a few rants off which were recorded by the
distance they lasted. This year the rant champion was SAS Steve with
his impressive half a mile rant from the sea cross country towards St
Nicolas at wade.
The dog poop count was unbelievably high and we decided that if dog
owners can't pick it up, then we will as a civilised society will have
to exterminate all dogs and force the ex-dog owners to have cats or
hamsters on leads instead as all cats in Thanet Poop in my garden
anyway. Thus leaving the public walkways clean and as for hamsters,
their poop is not quite so offensive to the foot as dog poop is.
We also discussed the Royal Marine Commandos final test the infamous
thirty miler in eight hours.
From the blisters on my feet and aching limbs I take my hat off to all
Marines as we were quite a bit behind them in distance and time plus
they don't even get beer breaks on route.
For the photographic diary of the 2009 Thanet Yomp please have a look
at my fellow yomper Captain dogs blogg www.captaindog.blogspot.com
Also I can report that the Christmas house on the way to Westbrook
from Margate still has its decorations up. Who says Margate hasn't
got any character.
