RUN #57
Location: The Tavern, Denstone (ST14 5HR)
Hare: Moist
Weather: Cold dry and overcast
Pack size: 13
Into Staffordshire for Moist's virgin haring. We might have expected a nice safe trail, but not so.
On a lovely winter's day we were joined by newcomers Steve and Carol and, although we have run from this location before, much of the trail was new to us. Heading out towards Denstone College we passed along shiggy tracks though with much of the mud still frozen it didn't hinder our progress. Two fish hooks did, the second being a the bottom of a very steep hill. Who trained this hare!
This was a long trail but well laid and planned. I did 8 miles (including the two fish hooks and many checks), others averaged between 6 - 7 miles. The walkers (ASB, NonRunner and Mama Rose plus two hounds) were given a shorter option but still got their monies worth. To think the hare set this in the morning and then went around again. Moist will be feeling that tomorrow.
A quick circle was held inside before food arrived. We started with the hare who received many accolades for her first outing as hare. Fish hooks out of the ASB school of fish hook placement and diligently laying two blobs of flour along most false trails.
DDs also went to: ASB and Durex for hashy birthdays this month; Steve and Carol - newcomers; Jelly Knob for using maps on his phone around the trail and taking the 4th fish hook position for Malteaser; Mama Rose and Non Runner were welcomed back, the latter losing his glove but not his memory; Diarrhoea was given a drink to stop his constant stream of puns and one liners; and finally B*gger and Goblin's athletic morning was acknowledged - they'd both done a Park Run before doing this trail. Goblin missed out on a DD because the DD drinks were exhausted so she joined Malteaser and Horse's Arse as hashers who missed out on a DD.
Lovely first trail Moist, well done.
