QH3 Run 759. Robin Hood, Lambley. 06/05/2012

The Robin Hood, Lambley

This was the third hash in a week held during the East Midlands wettest ever drought, yet it was a dry run for the third time in a row. Such is the power of our weather control. Butt Plug was the hare and at 11:00 am there were just five hashers and a dog, two of whom were walkers. Since his appointment to RA Rasher has not made a hash, the only curate present was also a hare, so one of the choir boys was nominated by the GM as stand-in, reserve, temporary RA (Durex), and the weather just got even better.

With so few hashers checking was hard work shared between Diarrohea, Durex and Malteaser. Wallington and Skids were just casually strolling along at the back. After about a mile reinforcement began to arrive in the form of Goblin, Bugger, Too Tuf and Chicki. They thought they'd run fast to catch us up, Chicki was breathing heavily. We had actually been checking very slowly to allow them to catch up. The benefit of Goblin's extra training runs in the park were seen during a bit of competitive hashing that left Chicki a broken woman. It was an excellent trail with many good checks that kept the pack together plus a bit of an obstacle course before we arrived back at the pub. This was "Cowslip Sunday" in Lambley and the trail went straight through the arena and stage set up after the flour trail had been laid. Fortunately for the hare activities had not yet started. We also discovered what the Lambley Dumbles was (or should that be were), if you'd have joined us, you  too would know.
The On-Inn circle was followed by a rare Mismanagement Committee Meeting were plans were hatched for the coming year, including: a Jubilee Street party hash on Tuesday 5th June, a hash camping weekend in July, the Lucky 777 Run at Great Hucklow in October and a Halloween rather than red dress run at the end of October. There was an outbreak of "competitive haring" when it was suggested we cut back on the number of runs we do in a year due to a decline in the number of regular Quorn Hashers. So we've got the hares to set the runs, will we have the hounds to run them?


This was the way I saw Run 759.

Bars on this Hash proved to be no obstacle
