Santa Walk December 11th 2011 by Bref O'Rourke
Click on Image to go to Photos Rumour has it that each year in early December, Santa can be seen in Guisborough woods, apparently exercising to get fit for the BIG day! So, with great determination, a very large group of children, accompanied by parents and grandparents, set off from Pinchinthorpe car park on a wet afternoon on Sunday, 11th December, to seek out Father Christmas in the woods and hopefully get an early pressie! The route chosen to find Santa was pushchair friendly and had previously proved successful. So anticipation was high among the children and it wasn't long before the first sighting of Santa was made. The children looked up the hillside in awe, as Santa went through his training regime. On seeing the children, Santa waved his arms in a circular motion and the children waved furiously back. Santa then appeared to hop up and down on one leg for a while doing the Irish Jig as he disappeared out of sight over the hill. Perhaps he had a stone in his shoe? Encouraged by their first sighting, the children marched on to a bend in the track where to their delight Santa was seen jogging only yards away. This proved too tempting for some of the children who ran after Santa into the woodland. Santa seemed somewhat startled by this and beat a hasty retreat up the hill and out of sight, to the disappointment of the pursuing children. That was a close one! Try as hard as they could the children just couldn't keep up with Santa, who it has to be said, looked to have shed quite a few pounds compared to his popular image! So eventually the children arrived back at Pinchinthorpe, where to their delight they found Santa sat in his Grotto with a sack full of treats, one for every child! Everyone agreed, this was a most enjoyable Christmas walk! Well done to Santa and his helpers! Bref
