The Adventures of Jogle Continued a Pace on Day 3

He had been lovingly dressed in a cocktail dress with a pearl necklace and false eyelashes by his custodians Carolanne & Mary but in an attempt to straighten Jogle out, or at least get him back inside the closet to save further embarrassment Jogle was allocated to a new car.

It was decided he would be looked after by Steve Hannaford whose D Type Jaguar has been described as a phallic symbol on wheels. Steve bought it on the basis that this macho machine would become a babe magnet. He claims their has been no evidence to support this theory so far. Indeed his wife refuses to travel in the car after she was hit in the face by a stone while making her first trip as passenger. Perhaps it was the airing of this sad story which caused the kidnappers to strike again at the Barton Grange in Preston.

Jogle vanished before Steve could even get him back to his room where he had threatened to rip off the dress and jewellery. Steve paid a £10 fine for his carelessness after receiving a ransom demand but Jogles whereabouts remain a mystery. His naked photograph has been sent to Jeremy Seal together with a telephone number. It isn’t clear what the lamb napping gang wanted because their was no reply to his calls. We shall keep our readers informed of any further developments.

The competitors left Barton Grange and headed for the Gauntlet Bird of Prey centre near Knutsford. Unfortunately one competitor took a wrong turn and as if sheep others followed and while trying to find there way back Graeme Rudd, who was accompanied by Chris Campbell, broke down and had to be rescued by Hills Recovery truck. Repairs were completed whilst everyone else enjoyed the bird of prey demonstration courtesy of Brian on Ros Fitton. All left for Stratford upon Avon although Graeme’s ignition problems were resolved it did not mean a smooth run, unfortunately he lost drive on his lotus élan and had to be recovered for a second time. His vehicle was taken to Mitchells at Bishops Cleeve by Car Transplants transporter for overnight storage and repair.

Jogle surprisingly turned up at dinner on Day 4 and Jogles friend Ewenice turned up too. Jogle and Ewenice were placed in the custody of Richard Sykes and Simon Metcalfe.
