MH3 Run 264. The White Hart, Aston on Trent




MH3 Run 264
Date: Monday 15th June 2015
Location: White Hart, Aston on Trent (DE72 2AF)
Hares: Lightning Rod and Oriface
Weather: Lovely summer's evening
Pack size: 18 





The nice summer weather and the approaching longest day enticed out hashers to this excellent hashing location. A slimline Captain Oates managed to get time off from trucking, Caboose made it a hat-trick of running with local hashes and even Beer and Loathing made a rare appearance. Trianal arrived early and was seen orientating himself in Aston, though this did him little good. We lost him at the start of the trail and didn't see him again until the On Inn. Hares Lightning Rod and Oriface are hashers with a r*nning persuasion so it was no surprise this was a r*nners trail. With a dodgy left knee I'd hoped for a gentle jog trying to keep ahead of Dobber but found myself up with the A Team checking with Butcher's Dog. Lovely first bit to the trail much of which involved parts of the Derby Nomad Way and a nice run through Long Walk Wood. We had a good straight long stretch back along the canal which certainly stretched the pack. I did check several times right, even when no check was marked, hoping we would go down to the River Trent, a false hope. There was a check laid under a newly arrived 4x4 and trailer which the hares felt they had to personally point out plus an enormous circle at a check towards the end. Were the hares expecting an arrival by helicopter? 
In the circle led by Dobber the following awards (DDs) were given:
1. Gobalot, somebody who obviously prefers going forward, was mentioned for her reversing skills.
2. Beer and Loathing - for turning up to the hash.
3. Artless Dodger 'Mr Sunshine' for his tan - did he get it in W Bridgford or Loughborough?
4. Trianal 'the invisible man' - got his regular monthly award for disappearing on the hash trail.
5. 'R*nners' Wriggle, Captain Oates and Ballcrusher for trying to emulate Lionel and Dobber's walking group.
6. Caboose - visitor.
7. The hares for the best trail of the week or what Caboose designated his best MH3 trail ever!
