Leshurr charges at life with her pole

Lady Leshurr chooses to use a 360cm long pole.

Humming action music, she charges straight at the closed door to the house, immediately striking it with the pole and losing 10 cm.

Becoming only briefly more cautious, she carefully opens the door with her boot. She then charges inside, initially doing well, but then incurring multiple penalties while attempting to negotiate the turn into the study.

While leaving the house again via the study’s outer doors, she catches the rear end of the pole against one of them, incurring another 10cm penalty.

She does a pretty good job of negotiating the telephone box until the very last moment, when it catches in the closing door.

She manages to climb under Linda the cow while only touching the udder with the pole once, as she stands back up.

She encounters a bit of trouble with the tyre obstacles, charging directly at them and managing to pass the front end of the pole through both before realising she can’t keep moving forwards. For a moment, she considers whether she’s supposed to actually climb through the tyres herself, while holding the pole. Alex stifles a laugh before suggesting that’s probably not the correct approach.

She comes up with a better plan to pass the pole through the tyres, but catches them a couple of times along the way, even knocking one of the tyres completely off of its barrel.

At the mailbox, she starts well, but then decides to go for a quick final movement, hitting the mailbox with one end and the cartwheel on the ground with the other end.

Having erected her pole in the cartwheel, she sings triumphantly.

Back in the studio, Alex reports that Leshurr ‘only’ struck 15 things with her pole, reducing the length to 210cm, and placing her third overall in the task.
