RUN #835
Date: Sunday 15th June 2014Location: Dixies Arms, Bagthorpe (NG16 5HF)
Hares:Captain Oates and Hot Air
Weather: Warm but overcast
Pack size: 15
We liked our previous trail from the Dixies Arms so much we were back here again for Run#835. Hot Air was doing her virgin hare for Quorn under the misdirection of Captain Oates. The fact that the hares arrived back at the pub laying trails from two different directions set the scene for today's run. There was going to be, at some points on today's run, several multiple choice trails.
The first check was at a ford and predictably B*gger choose to check it out and
it was the right way. There were a number of quirks early on in the trail, including a deviation from the main footpath to run the other three sides of a field, the hare lying about the need to check to the left, and extra blobs up random cul-de-sacs which only I felt the need to check.
Then there was the trail through the woods. Here the hares experimented with flour texting including information such as 'Fathers', 'Others' and 'Lost'. The latter was not an instruction from the hares, just a cry for help from Hot Air.
In the woods the trail became most interesting - whilst the Father's got a special easy trail for Father's Day, 'Others' went on a SAS assault course involving several very steep ups and downs. The hares did well to find their way out of the woods and so did most of the pack. Extra effort was put into marking checks as Too Tuf and Chicki reliant on public transport were even later than usual.
Hot Air had bribed us with Jelly Babies at the start and at the finish a 'good run' verdict was assured with the provision of a pork pie, cheese and biscuits.
B*gger returned to RA duties with the Curate being a hare and Butt Plug being elsewhere. Barritone was awarded a DD for horse whispering having made a two-week old foal become very wary of hashers with his excellent very loud 'On On!'. Given England's defeat to Italy in the Football World Cup a stand-in Italian was appointed for a DD, namely Debriefed who came the closest to wearing Azzurri Blue. We'll need a Uruguayan for next week. Further DDs were awarded to Free Willy for showing he hadn't had the benefit of the Green Cross Code; Visitors and Virgins, all related to Debriefed (Dad, Mum and Sister) - was the hash your Father's Day treat? ; Diarrhoea for clearing beer glasses (at least 3 miles from the pub); and finally, the hares for a good run.
So that's the way I saw it.....
