QH3 Run 741, The Plough, Stathern (06/11/2011)

This was a Vale of Belvoir trail starting from the village of Stathern in the shadow of the big ironstone escarpment. It was always going to be a hilly run. At 11:05 there was just myself, Malteaser, Wallington and the hare. Silent Pants and Clementine had set off on an extra loop practicing for the Turkey Trot half-marathon - very unhashlike behaviour. Latecomers Too Tuf, Chicki, Sweet Pea and IP doubled the numbers and we set off for the inevitable climb up the hill. Chicki claimed the glory for the nice sunny morning, a skill obviously not learnt from Too Tuf. It was a challenging steep uphill climb in the mud and little wonder Malteaser was given plenty of clearance on the way up.
Chicki led the circle and rightly punished Sweet Pea for the kind of blonde moments usually associated with herself. And then there was the surprise to find this was my 400th Quorn hash, the surprise being the committee were actually organised enough to get the information right on the actual date.
Hare Butt Plug was congratulated for a good run setting a splendid trail in nice hashing country. Best Quorn run of November 2011.
