QH3 Run 770, The Willow Tree, W Bridgford. 27/08/2012


Venue: The Willow Tree, West Bridgford
Hare: Chicki
Weather: Just about not raining for the hash
Date: 27th August 2012 (Bank Holiday)

This was Chicki’s “special” birthday hash and, with Too-Tuf, actually managed to arrive at the hash on foot only a few minutes late. This trail was not going to be a live hare! This was a QH3 Monday run but set during daytime for the sad bastards that have nothing better to do on a bank holiday. Butt Plug provided one third of the turnout with rare appearances by Underlay, Should be felt and family. Even Diarrhoea was back making his first QH3 hash for many months after a hashcation in Cyprus.
Chicki, propelled by hash hound Freya, was up with the FRBs until the first check. The pack kept more-or-less together up to the first A52 crossing in Gamston, then Butcher’s Dog took off and led the pack the rest of the way around. Diarrhoea, obviously out of practice, held up the chasing pack with some poor checking.
A second crossing of the A52 was used as an excuse for some to say they had been held up giving me time to run many false trails and still have time to go back and mark the checks.
Birthday girl Chicki. If she was from Mars
she would be just 26.6 years old.
Back at the ON INN Underlay was gloating that Butcher’s Dog had only managed to be the fourth person back – competitive short-cutting. The rain started just as the pack drizzled in. This didn’t stop us having an outside ON INN under the shelter of the large Willow Tree, after which one assumes the pub is named.
Bugger led a rowdy circle at which it was revealed Should be felt was nearly arrested for murder during the week – very 1984. Chicki got a hashy birthday, the first of many I suspect in what is going to be several weeks of celebration.
The hash day was concluded with a hash committee meeting to discuss the forthcoming Great Hucklow weekend. Yes, what we do does take some planning.

This was the way I did Run 770.
