QH3 Run 896. The Embankment, Nottingham

RUN #896

Date : Monday 29th February 2016
Location: The Embankment, Nottingham
Hare: Too Tuf
Weather: Cold but dry
Pack size: 12

This was the seventh bissextus of QH3's existence yet it was the first leap day when we've actually had a hash run. We also started the trail for the first time from The Embankment, as would be expected from a Castle Rock pub, an excellent real ale pub. It is well located for a Nottingham city trail and has a decent sized car park.

We had two welcome backs - Smutley and Diarrhoea, the latter fresh back from five months hashing abroad. On the trail it was pretty useful to have a torch as we followed Butcher's Dog out through the Meadows and across the dark embankment. If only all hashers had a bright LED neck collar like Freya.

I seemed to manage to avoid Butt Plug for the first two miles of the trail, mainly familiar paths but, as the hare had cautioned us, not necessarily in the usual order. Without the checking it may have been the perfect 5 miles and, on the hare's 99th effort of laying a Quorn trail, he is beginning to get the hang of it. There seemed to be no detrimental effect of not having his usual co-hare. Chicki, as we have now come to expect, looked after the weather, rain starting only as the last hashers returned.

In hashing circles you will henceforth
be known as Urinator

The circle was held inside the pub's conservatory and the following hashers were premiated with a DD:
1. Smutley and Diarrhoea - welcome backs;
2. Butt Plug for services to the RA;
3. Phil T for peeing on the hash, hence his new hash name "Urinator";
4. Hare Too Tuf for a good trail;
5. Butcher's Dog for whipping boys (?);
6. Cadi - pink again and fastidiously checking; and
7. Malteaser for doing the On Inn on the wrong side of the road.
