RUN #834
Date: Sunday 1st June 2014
Location: The Tap House, Smisby (LE65 2TA)
Hares:B*gger and Goblin
Weather: Warm sunshine
Pack size: 12
June has arrived with lovely summer weather, a pleasant change after a week of rain. Jogging around the trail I was struggling to find some negatives to say about this hash. Excellent weather, the Tap House is an excellent On INN and this was an excellent trail, some parts along virgin paths obviously not widely used judging by the height and depth of stinging nettles. The warm weather had also brought out a lot of flies, Captain Oates was snacking on them on the way around. There was a lack of sheep but given the Leicestershire (rather than Derbyshire) postcode, and the absence of Barritone, that was understandable.
The hare pointed out that part of the trail followed the newly launched National Forest Way (Stage 7 Moira to Hartshorne), though we did only did a small part of its 75 mile length. Too Tuf also impressed us with his knowledge of cereal crops identifying the 'two row maritime barely'. Useful person to have on your quiz team - his head if full of all kinds of useless information when not full with beer.
Malteaser and Wallington chose to do the walker's option, the rest of us doing the 6 miles plus trail that was well laid and with some excellent checks that kept the pack together.
We're getting used to having a full time RA (Butt Plug) leading the circle, though his curate (Captain Oates) delayed the start of proceedings by having a dinner for which he was awarded a DD. This was passed on to someone else on the feeble grounds that he was on his way to work. Other DDs were awarded to Hot Air and Chicki for raising the RA's expectations; Durex for using the 'socks up, trousers down' approach to avoiding stinging nettles; Wallington for a limp wrist (the cause of which was stipulated); Malteaser for being seen coming out of the bushes; Ballcrusher who won Captain Oates' DD lottery; Diarrhoea (fleeced again); and B*gger and Goblin for a good trail.
Goblin provided the usual excellent shortcake feet and the pub provided us with a beer named after one of our hashers (Malteaser). Good job hash names aren't copyrighted!
