RUN #254
Date : Monday 18th August 2014Location: New Inn, Shardlow (DE72 2HG)
Hare: Butcher's Dog
Weather: Dry with autumnal feel
Pack size: 20
A Butcher's Dog trail is always one where you know you'll get a good run and the New Inn is an On Inn with some excellent real ales on offer (Stairway to Heaven strongly recommended). Ballcrusher on his home ground tried hard not to lead the pack around unless he be accused of using local knowledge to unfair advantage. Instead it was Shang-lo, a triathlete not seen hashing for six or seven years, who set the early pace. We visited all the major waterways - Derwent, Trent and Trent-Mersey canal - and I found another irregular hasher doing his first run with Mickleover (Chris Luton, no hashname yet) trying to keep up with me at the front. B*gger and myself demonstrated that hash experience trumps speed when it comes to sniffing out the correct trail. Behind somewhere Oriface was unsuccessfully trying to catch us pushing the walkers out the way. Not a good idea if that happens to be RA Dobber.
Back at the On Inn, most of us saw Barritone for the first time, cycling all the way from Nottingham meant he didn't arrive on time. Being Butcher's Dog's birthday hash, cake was available and this always gets my vote for a good run.
