Run 766 of the Quorn Hash House Harriers started and finished at the Mill Wheel in Hartshorne. The Hare was Gobalot assisted by Oriface on his 97th Quorn H3 hash. The pack size actually reached double figures this week swelled by two Reptonite hashers.
The weather was sunny, appropriate that Bugger was appointed RA. The first part of the trail looped back around the cricket field, sending Butt Plug off on a long false trail, before exiting the village past Hartshorne church. Hairless Hound and Soggy Jubilee injected a bit of early pace and disappeared into the distance with Lightening Rod.
I fell for the hare's cunning deception at most checks, the strategically placed blob of flour to tempt me up a false trail. Not that many checks were needed. Many paths often had the pack finding its own route, often followed by an interested co-hare who just wanted to see where the paths went.
A bit longer than yesterday's AH4 trail but nevertheless a well-constructed route.
We haven't sat outside much this summer so we took the opportunity to use the Mill's beer garden. The circle was well on its way before Chicki and Too Tuf arrived back from the trail. Even Skids who had a blonde moment by going to the Wheel Inn in Ticknall instead, got to the circle earlier. Despite the lack of sheep (it was a Derbyshire trail!) it was voted a good run. This was the way I did it - RUN 766.
