March 2025
Author: Pheasant Tommy
Following a particularly busy February, it was always going to be hard to reach the same feverish level of activity in March. The month’s events kicked off on the very first day at 7am at Ely Train Station as the Pheasants undertook stage 1 of the Camino de Pheasant Canary, having first already completed stage 2 back in 2024 due to railway complications. It’s safe to say that the walk was long, hazardous and relied on Pheasant Creek to retrieve the motley crew back home after an arduous trek.
Despite a few small gatherings for coffee, no other formal activity took place until the end of the month whence five keen pheasants tackled the third monthly walk of the year at Barnack and the grounds of Burghley House. The walk ended in excitement due to a wrong turn and the surprise appearance of Captain Creeky, Pheasant Creek’s alter ego.
There was some time left in the month for future walks to be scoped out and allocated, while the Pheasants were cajoled into coughing up to pay for the away weekend in May. Some tears were shed as funds were extracted in order to recompense Pheasant Bellars for having booked it in the first place.
