QH3 Run 758. The Blue Bell, Sandiacre, 30/04/2012

 After a remarkably wet April, what a surprise to get a dry sunny evening for the hash, so well done to the curate for the evening, namely Bugger, who once again stepped into the RA's shoes. I had to explain to the new GM Malteaser that part of the job description was not turning up 20 minutes late for the hash. We arrived well on time for the start of this week's trail laid by Dobber and Lionel. Having these two as hares obviously caused some confusion, we got above the average number of Mickleover hashers who had obviously though this was a Mickleover run. Pack numbers were well into double figures.

Unusual hash markings or was it just the rough area
we were running in?

After a few checks it was obvious that, in this fairly populated area on the edge of the countryside, quite a bit of flour arranging had been done adding to the excitement of finding the trail.  The hare must have been a little concerned when the majority disappeared down a false trail for 5 minutes shouting ON-ON, a check originally well terminated with a bar. The pack were kept  together and on several occasions  managed to find checks where none had been set. The hares even found a "Harriette" Street to run past.

With all the recent rain the going underfoot was wet in parts. Smutley was this run's FRB, last seen disappearing into the streets of Stapleford. On a rare hash appearance by Beer & Loathing you got the impression he'd rather have been watching the Manchester derby on TV - he was seen peering into pub windows trying to find out the score.


A relatively short run but just right for a Monday night - Durex version of Run 758.


In the circle DDs were awarded to:

1.  Lightening Rod and Malteaser for wearing thermals on a warm sunny run.
2. Beer & Loathing for trying to watch TV on the run.
3. Diarrohea and Gobalot for various trail transgressions.
4. Trianal for sheepishly following the leading hound off trail.
5. The hares Dobber and Lionel for a good run.
