This was an unusual hash trail never getting more than 800 m away from the pub recycling many of the checks and false trails. Short cutting was a waste of time as generally we would return to the same point within 10-15 minutes. Doing the hash standing still may have

This would have been a lot worse!

been the best tactic to keep up with the FRBs. This experimental format for the hash trail was implemented because the Dope claimed injury prevented him from going further afield. Without recourse to using a car to ferry hashers about, or even splitting us into several groups, this format worked extremely well. A good number of hashers, mentioning no names Chicki, didn't even notice we were essentially running around just a couple of large wheat fields. I managed to run the same false trail three times from different directions. The GPS trace (see below) is probably one of the more interesting trail patterns we have ever done.
We left home in pouring rain but in Hoton it was just threatening to do so. The RA claimed she had it all under control, the wet stuff was perspiration rather than precipitation.

The hare declared today 'Finnish national
Sleepy Head Day'. Last one back had to be
woken up with a cold glass of water!

In the circle awards were given as follows:
1. Malteaser for being anxious about Durex's projects about the home. Happy to have him working in the loft but she got nervous when he starts digging large holes in the garden.
2. RA abuse was common and easy to do. Visitor Bouncer made the mistake of nearly knocking the RA over.
3. We learnt from visitor Angel and Too Tuf how to make John Smiths smooth. Something to do with fresh barley and buttocks.
4. Captain Oates was a latecomer and was seen abusing the crops. He should have got a DD but played his 'Get out of DOWN DOWN free card'.
5. Wallington for appearing almost naked from the last hash on the QH3 Facebook page.
6. Bummer for dog abuse - we all saw him kicking the dog!

7. The hares Dope and Heroin were thanked for their unusual trail getting a vote of 42%. Too Tuf reckoned that their imminent departure for Edinburgh would raise the IQ of both their old and new hashes.
8. Durex for repeatedly running the same false trail which never actually became the correct trail.
9. Pay-back time for Underlay (taken by Butt Plug) - apparently she had walked into Angel and Bouncer's camper van claiming that this and the children in it belonged to her.

On On...Durex
