The Hopping Houblons

Just finished the three molehills

The heavy rain we had all week went away for beautiful morning to run the three molehills, a relay race up three different hills in the mole valley. The course was very muddy and the stepping stones to Box Hill under water forcing some re-routing of the course. Trail shoes were recommended for the first leg and Houblon wimped out but luckily Adam stepped up and set the 6th fastest time up the 4.5 mile Box hill circuit. Mrs H took up the next leg up the 6 mile Norbury Manor loop completing this impressively in under an hour. Then Houblon took over up the just over 4 mile Ranmore Ramble. Which is as descibed in the notes 2 miles up and 2miles down. Great race. At the finish every one gets a medal, a bottle of beer and a bottle of wine to share between the team. Nice work for a sunday morning

We finished 28th out of 48 teams which we we were all very pleased with.

GO HOUBLONS !
