QH3 Run 886. Beer Shack, Hucknall

RUN #886

Date : Sunday 15th November 2015
Location: Beer Shack, Hucknall 
Hare: Barritone
Weather: Confused
Pack size: 10
Travelling to today's hash we had heavy rain showers, high wind, blue skies, sunshine and a rainbow with the temperature at 15 deg. C for mid-November! The weather was very confused, no doubt the Quorn RA was involved. Chicki promised us a dry window in the weather between 11:00 - 12:00 and that's what we got and more.

We commenced with Hash Trash (Captain Oates) demonstrating his new acquistions (part 1)

We rarely travel north of Nottingham so much of the route today was virgin trail. Hash Stats (Malteaser) failed to tell us that we had in the history of QH3 only run from Hucknall on two previous occasions - Runs 347 and 489, the latter being the start of a red dress tram run.
As always with a Barritone trail it was well marked with flour and every 'marked' false trail barred. Early on Jelly Knob and Cpt Oates did find false trails were there were no checks, the latter hasher finding it hard to accept that the trail doesn't always go straight on.
Out into Bestwood Country Park it got shiggy and hilly. It was here that my GPS recorded a rapid decent of 1.7 m when my feet went upwards and head hit the ground. A chance to catch my breath and let Chicki catch up. At this point the hare also caught up with the pack. Helpful at a particularly difficult check at which Malteaser had wrongly learned from a cyclist that it wasn't straight on. It was a long trail approaching the 7 mile mark - a shorter option was available to walkers and was used by invalids B*gger and Butt Plug.
The Beer Shack is a great real ale pub with a range of high alcohol beers - hence the advice of the hare to come by tram. We found a quiet corner of the pub for the circle. Awards went to: 1. Malteaser - twice showing blonde dyslexia moments. An inability to arrange the No 3. in the correct way for the above photo and thinking we had arrived in Beeston rather than Bestwood. 2. Jelly Knob - welcome back. 3. Durex - flying on the hash. 4. A disgusting disgraceful Too Tuf for showing his underpants in the street. I really think the old lady was really getting very excited watching you change. 5. Barritone the hare for a good trail in an unfamiliar area and finding the Beer Shack. 6. The RA got given the final DD for showing unbelievable weather control.
Captain Oates escaped punishment despite his burst of promotional materials including the QH3 balloons and fliers- we need the latter so we can all learn the correct web site address! We now own the domain name QuornH3.co.uk .
