AH4 Run 28, Red Lion, Hognaston (07/01/2012)

The AH4 has done a run from the Red Lion in Hognaston before, but this time around both the hare (Horse's Arse) and the hounds turned up at the same pub. Even Diarrhoea turned up at the Red Lion rather than the Knockerdown Pub a mile up the road. An error (Run No 8) for which Diarrhoea was awarded the first (and only) hash shit.
The weather was mild for January and the rain and wind of the previous week had subsided leaving ideal, very shiggy, hashing conditions. You would expect the RA to organise good weather for his own hash.
It was a well-laid trail with good checks, a short and long trail and a couple of fish hooks. At the 2nd fish hook we held a sub-committee meeting to decide that the FRBs only need run back as far as the hare. This made things easier for the FRBs as the hare was enthusiastically running with the front runners rather than looking after the stragglers at the back.

Amazon finally managed to deliver my GPS so this is the trail as I did it.

The circle at the end of the run was a perfect square as everyone was sat around dining tables. It was an uphill struggle for the stand-in RA (me) as food started to arrive from the moment the first punishments were awarded. Before long everyone was stuffing their faces, but we had time to welcome Up-the-Duff, Who's my Daddy and Windy Miller to their first Ashborne Hash. Hash Puppy got a DD for sitting down on the hash in a rather silly place - a very muddy path and Gatecrusher for arriving late and being mainly absent from the trail. Good run Horse's Arse.
