Come as you are
Dress code for DF's is "informal". Many people arrive at the start in very old very tatty "a few extra tears won't make any difference" outfits, whilst some prefer boiler suits -which it has to be said are very good in Bramble thickets. In view of general quantity of mud, water or other environmental hazard generally encountered these precautions are generally wise. On one occasion, two competitors competed in suits.
One Friday night event started at the club house, at the normal time. However two of the people who would normally take part in such frivolities were late at the start due to work commitments, and arrived in suits.
Having not expected to take part, the stupidity of DF was far too strong to resist, and A turned to B....
"Well I've got the map and protractor"
"If we nip home I'll pick a set" said B "and we can a least get close enough to find the pub"
Without further ado the collected the set. Their first bearing was taken on the first random transmission, with the second taken on the next fixed transmission. The cross was sharp, and led straight to the back of Bramhall Golf Club. Off they went and in very short order located the wood.
Now don't ask me why but our two intrepid explorers headed into the wood. It took very little effort to find the site, get the form signed, get the pub information, and be told they were the first in. These two had started late, and won wearing suits. Now you might think that the suits would be ruined. But no, these two individuals had walked straight in and not encountered any nasty. Off they went to the pub.
The remaining teams arrived at the pub looking as if they had been dragged through a hedge backwards..... which thinking about it they had been...... it took a lot of talking that night to convince people that it wasn't a stitch up. In fact the suit wearers had been lucky and come in through the back door, an option which the organiser had over looked, and no one else found. The expected line of attack was very, very nasty.
