After a summer holiday break in August, the AH4 resumed its monthly hash in Uttoxeter. GM Horse's Arse welcomed everyone to Run 62. Frightening to think that the summer has passed us by already.

The pack size was made respectable by a welcome back from the Dubai Hash (Ratchet) and three newcomers from the Uttoxeter R*nners who had come along to see what hashing was about (Jennifer, Sarah and Kay).  Kay was accompanied by Ian who kept appearing at different points around the trail in his car so maybe we should put him down as the 12th member of today's hash.

The trail had several points were paths were used twice. One of these was at the ON OUT where Ratchet and myself headed out in one direction and everyone else the opposite way, all on the flour. Encountering the ON INN markings on the path I was just about to return to GO when the pack went past at the top of the road. Further on, 4.5 miles along the trail (see GPS map trace), I found flour a long way down a check on a path we'd previously run and I very nearly got stuck in a continuous loop. Fortunately I noticed no one had followed me and I rejoined the pack in the correct direction some time later. As we headed home towards the Bridge, Diarrhoea had a feeling of deja vu, correctly so as the the hare was reusing that part of the trail twice.

We all arrived back more-or-less at the same time, including Enema who must have got a tip-off from Diarrhoea that it was time to leave B&Q.

In the circle the RA gave Ratchet a welcome back Down-Down (DD) closely followed by Diarrhoea who served as an example to the athletes that we frown on competitive running - he arrived back first on today's trail. The three newcomers had softie DDs, practice obviously needed in this department. Enema's appearance from the direction of the retail park did not go unpunished, though Moist's miscall down a false trail did.

The hare was congratulated on a good run that ultimately didn't loose anyone or confuse anyone (too much). Thanks Wriggle for a good trail enjoyed by all. Even the cows gave Horse's Arse a break from their intimidation.

There was widespread consensus that someone called Andean Sex Beast, not seen since January, should set the next trail!


That's the way I saw today's hash trail....On On.. Durex
