AH4 Run 54. Bramshall Road Park, Uttoxeter

RUN #54

Date : Saturday 6th September 2014
Location: Bramshall Road Park, Uttoxeter (ST14 7PF) 
Hare: Wriggle
Weather: Warm but overcast
Pack size: 11



Those travelling from the north and east of the hash location would have come through dull misty drizzle. This was not the weather forecast for today! Fortunately for the RA, arriving at Bramshall Road Park it was dry but overcast. Moist arrived just on time for the run but was nervous about being allowed to park without paying. GM Horse's Arse was present to welcome us all to RUN 54 (note to ASB about her run numbering errors) and confuse the pack with his explanation of hash markings. We have to remember Wriggle uses the cross to mean, very logically, 'cross here' on a busy road.
This was a long Wriggle trail, a runners run (I recorded 8.5 miles) so I enjoyed it. It would have also suited virgin hasher Steve, a struggling athlete. There were short-cuts and a walkers trail, so everyone was kept happy. Perhaps with the exception of One Loose who arrived late and started going around backwards where the On Out and On Inn crossed over. Indeed the marked On Inn was long, particularly when there was already 7.8 miles on the clock.
The main part of the hash, the circle and social bit, was held a mile down the road at the Old Bramshall Inn. With food arriving, a rapid circle was held inside.
DDs included Mickleover Hash GM Dobber (welcome back after a long absence); newcomer Steve (also cautioned about use of words such as racing and winning and using mobile phone in the circle); Diarrhoea (usual not wearing fleece for running); Moist (criminal recently fined for parking offence); Captain Oates (for attending today's hash rather than doing  a recce for his Quorn Hash tomorrow); and One Loose (welcome back, arriving late and going around backwards). The latter also confessed to soon disappearing off to New Zealand with his family - so a temporary farewell?
The hare got a vote of 42% for the trail and was thanked for a good run.
That's the way I saw it.
