RUN #839
Location: The Risley Park, Risley
Hare: Durex
Weather: Hot, dry and sunny
Pack size: 10
This was what was left for those that didn't get to go to the Brussels Hash. First lesson of the evening (for Artless Dodger), the Risley Park is not a big open green area. Barritone was reckoned to live nearest to the venue and, on his bike, was last to arrive for his 499th Quorn run, both these earning him a DD. Welcome back to Bummer again who made it 2 runs in two months after an absence of 20 (?) years.
This r*nning territory is well known to Butcher's Dog so it was no surprise that even with time taken for checking false trails she slowly disappeared into the distance not to be seen again until the On Inn. This was rewarded with a DD.
I tried hard to encourage the pack to short-cut the extra loop I'd put in specially for Butcher's Dog but in vain. Only Malteaser cut off the final outward loop so I had to do the whole thing twice. After setting the trail (nearly 8 miles with checks - see below) I then had to do a further 6 miles sweeping it - I really wish I'd included a drinks stop.
Despite being in Derbyshire there were no sheep, probably too close to the Nottinghamshire border. 'Bullocks' was all Barritone could say about the trail. There were, however, splendid views across the Trent Valley on a lovely summer's evening.
Goblin, fresh from the Three Peaks walk to celebrate a big event got the hashy birthday treatment plus a DD. Artless Dodger was spotted resting from the trail eating blackberries and with B*gger (disappearing into the bushes (?)) both were punished with DDs.
Without the need to vote, Durex (me) the hare was awarded the good run accolade and so onto to social drinking.....
