RUN #858
Location: Sir John Borlase Warren (NG7 3GD)
Hares:Too Tuf and Chicki
Weather: Very cold but bright and dry
Pack size: 17
Our post-awards night hash trail attracted a reasonable number of the left-overs from the night before. The RA continued his remarkable record of dry trails providing us with a bright but very cold day.
This was an urban hash trail that found a suitably challenging route around Nottingham, a run along the canal and a lot of steps. The 'unhappy face' checks started on the last hash were continued this week marking closed pubs, namely The Wheatsheaf, The Grove and The Red Cow. However, there were no 'running stitches' on this trail. In the absence of the usual FRBs I found myself doing much of the checking but there was a surprising number of harriettes tagging along with the 'A' team, Miss Take-me-now included.
Back at the pub Goblin had made another splendid chocolate cake that went down extremely well.
The circle commenced with a couple of hashy birthdays for IP and Skids, the latter already back visiting from Liverpool. The hare Too Tuf was punished for dog abuse. We arrived at the pub to the sound of a baying hound tied up outside a café whilst the owners (the hares) were inside enjoying breakfast. The DD was drunk at Too Tuf's usual slow pace to a Village People-style tune to 'RSPCA'. Dog Bolter got a DD for a "Bobber", the explanation for which passed me by, but I'm sure that he was a welcome back too. Captain Oates received an accolade for his innovative thinking in keeping himself warm in the "four star" hotel he chose to stay at last night. His water-powered torch doubled up as a hot water bottle and the use of the hair drier as a room heater is a very useful tip. Finally, the hares (Chicki and Too Tuf) were thanked for a good run even though there were no sheep, prositutes, shiggy etc.. It was a perfect five (miles).
That's the way I saw today's trail...
