QH3 Run 747, The Reindeer Inn, East Bridgford (08/01/2012)

This was billed as the Jumbo run - was it just for fat people or was it going to be a very big run? No, it was Run No 747, set by Butt Plug from the Reindeer Inn in East Bridgford. An appropriate location for the hare as Butt field and Butt Lane were nearby.
The Hare was making excuses before the run started; the river was flooded; horses eating the flour; and wobbly styles. A fair sized pack set off on a trail of uneaten flour, checks keeping the path well together. A public footpath across a recently ploughed field was a particularly good check, hashers have a certain reluctance to cross such obstacles. Farmers do no justice to themselves leaving footpaths in such a state, and it serves them right if they get fifteen different tracks developing across their field.
It was a run of many animals, sheep, lamas and lots of horses. Wallington was seen whispering to the latter but Sweet Pea confessed a greater interest in the tractors. We were held up by a short-cutting Clementine and Silent Pants were it was deemed a holding check was necessary. Here we witnessed the blatent short-cutting of Chicki leading Too Tuf astray after their customary late start. Skids, Wallington and IP were offered a short-cut home but obviously decided they liked the run so much they did the entire trail of about 5.5 miles.

The circle started by giving Butt Plug his reward for a good run, then punishing some inapproriate mobile phone activity which has disrupted the previous day's AH4 circle. All the culprits were present. Too Tuf has phoned Durex in the circle to ask Clementine to ring Silent Pants. Furthermore, Malteaser, currently in Seattle USA, also wants to know why Too Tuf texted her with the same puzzling request. Bugger got a DD for complaining about the hare's mind games. The hare had suggested we might need to cross a busy main road which Bugger did. Nice check.
