QH3 RUN #867
Date : Sunday 3 May 2015 (11:00)
Location: Queen's Head, Marlpool (DE75 7NJ)
Hare: Barritone
Weather: Wet but improved once temporary RA appointed
Pack size: 7
I heard that whilst I'd been away a new RA (Chicki) had been appointed, the wet weather on arrival testified to that. Perhaps because of the weather, the new RA, and beer master (Too Tuf) chose to be absent. The GM appointed Durex as temporary RA, and yes, the drizzle stopped and the sun began to shine.
Visitor Window Dressing came poorly prepared for a hash trail dressed not for windows but just a walk in the park, and that's what he did as the trail went around Shipley Country Park. Butcher's Dog, as might be expected, set the pace but on account of the bright fluorescent pink top could be seen at a great distance.
We always get a good trail from Barritone and we weren't disappointed. Surprisingly no sheep for a Derbyshire trail though hash master of puns Diarrhoea did point out the hare used lots of baaahs at the end of false trails. Shame Goblin wasn't here today, she would would have enjoyed the bluebell woods.
It was a pity that jet lag had prevented me from rising early enough to use public transport to get to this venue. We never made it into the Marlpool microbrewery - the Queens Head alone had an abundance of cask ales, all over 4.2%. Shame I, like most attending, was a driver. Barritone certainly finds these excellent real ale venues.
A short circle was held inside. Butcher's Dog got an aqueous DD for the fluorescent pink top and our visitor Window Dressing was greeted in the traditional hash manner. No secret ballot required for this trail, an excellent run and On Inn from Barritone.
That's the way I saw it, On On....Durex
