RUN #51
Date: Saturday 3rd May 2014
Location: The Black Cow, Dalbury Lees (DE6 5BE)
Hare: Durex and Malteaser
Weather: Glorious sunshine
Pack size: 14
Rarely have I seen so many public footpaths crisscrossing an area. It was a shame most of them are so poorly marked and maintained. Even the Bonnie Prince Charlie Way is now difficult to find in parts. (This is a way-marked route from Ashbourne to Derby to celebrate the 60th anniversary (1995) of the formation of the Ramblers' Association, a route following the general direction of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's march 250 years previously from Ashbourne to Derby in 1745). What sense is there in building splendid new bridges on a public footpath when nobody can find the route of the path? The hash does a great service in keeping such path 'used'.
I enjoyed this hash: lovely weather, a good pack including returning newcomers, unfamiliar hashing trail, excellent ON INN serving one of the best new ales I've had for a long time (4 T's Brewery's 'Get down and dirty'), followed by fish and chips. Only the cake was missing.
DDs were awarded to B*gger (doing two river crossings when only one was set); Captain Oates (complicit in the fact that two footbridges were barred when the hares only barred one); Newcomer (Jamie); Muff Shot (Geoff) and Two Bob (Florim) - new hash names; ASB and Hash Puppy (doing the short trail); Horse's Arse (scaring the cows); Slip 'er one (running over a bar on the bridge); Two Bob (new running shoes); and Durex and Malteaser (for obviously setting a fantastic Hash.
