MH3 Run#267
Date: Monday 14th September 2015
Location: Hawk and Buckle, Etwall
Hare: Seaman Stains
Weather: Dismal but no rain
Pack size: 12
It is always nice to have a hash trail in your 'own backyard'. Less than five minutes to get to the On Inn and a familiarity with all the local footpaths that is useful now it gets dark before we have time to complete the trail. Indeed with such dismal weather, and a monsoon-like down-pour less than half-an-hour before the On Out, it was dark before we even started. Credit to the RA, it didn't rain on the pack. It was just Seaman Stains the hare who got his usual soaking whilst setting the trail.
Today if you found flour you were ON which made the checks dead easy and left the SRBs no chance of ever catching up. Captain Oates led from the back all the way and with B*gger managed to loose sight of the pack in the dark and without torches. This meant that progress involved investigating all four sides of a dark field before the exit (hidden by cows) could be found. Most of the pack had managed to change, drink a pint and have several chip butties before they arrive back. It just had to be Captain Oates again out for some time.
This was Horse's Arse's first Mickleover hash trail but he disappeared before Dobber started the circle - Lightning Rod took his DD. The chips at the On Inn were much appreciated and Oriface was rewarded for pointing out that this meant we were not only a drinking club with a running problem, but we were also a body building club eating such food. Beer and Loathing stood in the circle dressed as though he had just come off the ski slopes complete with a a man-bag stolen from a London Transport conductor. His DD was followed by Malteaser representing the only harriette on this evening trail. Durex was also given a DD for the concern he showed when B*gger and Captain Oates went missing on the trail.
Finally, the hare Seaman Stains was thanked for setting the run - remember never put your washing out on a day when he's laying a hash trail.
