RUN #883
Location: The Star Inn, West Leake (LE12 5RQ)
Hares: IP and Sweet Pea
Weather: Overcast but still dry (again)
Pack size: 11
Both IP and Sweet Pea have had long term sick notes and excused from hashing for many months. That didn't stop them setting today's trail in an area famed for its mad Gothamites. We didn't see any captured cuckoos or sheep grazing on thatched roofs but nevertheless this is always a pleasant hashing area.
The awards in the circle were a good account of today's trail - hasn't our RA Chicki been lucky with the weather in recent months.
1. Butt Plug and Too Tuf ignored the directional hand waving of the hares at the start further confirming that you shouldn't believe what the hare says (rule 5(e)) or pay attention to any hare hand signals (rule 5(f)).
2. Captain Oates was a latecomer and was spotted short-cutting through a field of young winter wheat in order to catch up. No bus lanes to misuse or shortcut along then?
3. Ballcrusher needed Malteaser's help to spot the flour at the first check. A lame excuse about there being leaves on the flour.
4. Wallington was dobbed in by Sweet Pea for short-cutting. The RA already had him earmarked for worrying the RA - something about her dog chasing the hare. I guess that's one step up from sheep-worrying.
5. Sweet Pea (1st hare) got her DD for plane spotting - apparently she loves to sit watching planes flying over and using an app to tell her all about the flight.
6. IP (2nd hare) was described as being an 'overly polite hare', heard apologising to Malteaser when she returned back from a false trail.
7. The RA likes hashers to turn out smart and appropriately dressed for trails. Durex was punished for having several days stubble. Ballcrusher correctly identified that he was doing his bit for bird conservation and saving razorbills.
8. There was a lot of discussion during the trail about hashers having dental work over the past month. As a double cavity job with root treatment, Barritone got the final DD.
Hash announcements seemed to go on for a longer duration than the circle itself. Perhaps this was because we had the unusual luxury of knowing the hares for the remaining trails of the year. The exception being the Jingle Balls run on 20th December which still needs a hare. A Father Christmas lookie-likie was suggested and Ballcrusher was an obvious candidate, or perhaps Durex should get a move on growing his beard.
Thanks IP and Sweet Pea for an enjoyable hash today. Hope you had a good breakfast.
That's the way I remember it...On On..Durex
