QH3 Run 749, Fox & Crown, Old Basford, Nottingham. 30/01/2012

You would think that Clementine could organise some good weather from his Missus the RA (Silent Pants) for his own hash. On a cold evening, with what was meant to be clear skies, we started in  rain/sleet/hail. My new GPS had switched itself off whilst waiting for Chicki and Too Tuf to arrive. I struggled for 1.25 miles to get it started in the wet and dark. Make a note - I must read the instructions. When we set off there were just 5 hashers plus the hare. Bugger and Butt Plug set the early pace, closely followed by Silent Pants and even Sherpa keeping up. I was lurking at the back trying to get the GPS started and struggling without any hashing shoes which had been left at home.
This used to be my home territory, not the most exciting surroundings for a hash, but a good pub with a great selection of beers. Bits of the hash were familiar, it was just a problem remembering how they all joined up.
With few hashers to do the checking it was hard going, but a sensible length run considering the weather. Chicki and Too Tuf were encountered for the first time as we all arrived back at the pub.
A subdued circle was held inside the pub. DDs awarded: (1) Clementine for a good run; (2) Bugger for being a fast running bastard - lucky with the false trails there; (3) me (Durex) for buying a new GPS that recorded a much shorter run than the RA did; and (4) Chicki (on behalf of Too Tuf as well) for obvious short cutting.

That's the way run 749 was, and I did the following route (less the first 1.25 miles!)
