QH3 Run 821. Plough Inn, Ashby-de-la-Zouch

Date: Monday 27th January 2014
Hares: Gobalot and Oriface
Weather: Showers
Pack size: 13 

This was a cold and potentially wet hash night though both hares and hounds got off lightly with just a few light showers. Bugger and Goblin were able to walk a fair bit of the trail from their home to their favourite local pub, always a great bonus to have the hash on your doorstep. The trail led us around many historic parts of Ashby dlz though many of these went unnoticed in the dark. Castle, what castle? Captain Oates chose to run with a bottle of water rather than a torch which did somewhat impede his checking activity. Beefeater must have jogged past me a dozen times as I took up an unaccustomed position at the back of the pack nursing a very sore Achilles. Ten minutes into the trail, Trianal was observed driving through the town looking for the pub. Well at least he got there before Butt Plug, Too Tuf and Chicki. As a consequence this trail was run by three different groups, Trianal running solo, doing all the checks by himself and arriving back at the ON INN long after everyone else.

Bugger on his home pitch led the circle which saw Diarrhoea DDd for competitive uphill running and Malteaser for an early attempt to win the 2014 'Blonde Moment' of the year. She 'lost' her phone at the last hash and thanked everyone for their searching efforts after the previous hash. The phone was finally located in the back of the Skids mobile but only after Malteaser had some interesting conversations with people she mistakenly thought had answered her phone.

The Hare (Gobalot) completed 50 QH3 trails this evening, that's an average of  just over two a year. Before the end of January she has already reached her annual average. 'Associate' hare Oriface has been in the nervous 90s for many years and is now only one hash trail away from being awarded a 100 timer mug. Generally agreed this was a 'good run' and the hares are thanked for stepping in to set this one at short notice.

That's the way I saw it.....
