AH4 Run 48. Mundy Arms, Mackworth

Date: Saturday 8th February 2014
Location: Mundy Arms, Mackworth
Hare: Durex
Weather: Sunny with a lot of wind
Pack size: about 16 

My third trail as hare in as many weeks, all set during one of our wettest winters ever. Rain what rain? Good RA or just lucky? I refrain from saying it was not wet, because underfoot it certainly was. Yet another storm overnight left the fields waterlogged. This trail was actually Plan B. I cut out four miles of cross country shiggy and water-wading leaving only the final mile to test the hash's resilience and foot-ware. Instead, the trail for the first four miles weaved its way around the suburbs of Mackworth and Mickleover. No pink concessions from me for our Valentine Hash (pink is banished from my wardrobe) but I did mark checks using hearts rather than circles.

Bugger led the circle that included a hashy birthday for Wriggle, and DDs for

Hashy birthday Wriggle

born again virgins (first Ashbourne Hash) for Goblin and visitor Enema. It came to our attention that once again a cynical member of the public had complained about "anti-dog" powder, Road Kill gave a statement to the Police. Diarrohea got a DD for NOT wearing any pink. Smutley was rewarded for arriving late and doing some curb crawling involving Moist. The GM (Horse's Arse) was also punished for calling ON up a false trail. Thoughts turned to naming Rosie on her second hash but an increasingly cold wind and food on the table meant the circle was brought to a conclusion.The hare was thanked for a good run, exception being that there were no real river crossings - guess who led that complaint!


and that's the way I saw it.....
