QH3 Buxton Weekend: 1-2 October 2011



Malteaser and Skids

First run of the month comes courtesy of QH3 - the annual Buxton weekend based at  Alleyn's School Field Centre, 1 - 2 October. Saturday is a long walk led by Transit, down across Axe Edge Moor and on to Orchard Farm. From there we passed through Danebower Quarries and on to the Cat & Fiddle pub. Unbelievable weather for October. Clear sunny day with the temperature up to 28ºC. You wouldn't get many summer days like that! Some returned back to base on the bus, others continued  down to the Goyt Valley and across Berry Clough back to base.

Lots of cake and food for the 25 attending hashers, so much I think it had a significant impact on the beer consumption. We made only respectable progress with the 3 barrels of beer. Shagulater and Miss Takemelater did a star turn with their unique take on the music man.

Butcher's Dog set QH3 run no 738 on the Sunday 2 October. My Garmin (Forerunner 201) has now completely had it - I can no longer read the screen so don't even know if it is switched on or off. So no route map to post. It was a good run the highlight of which was the hash pack being terrorised by a herd of cows, especially Malteaser. Serves her right for unusually being a FRB. A good run! Just goes to show what happens when the RA is not there to see to the weather!
