QH3 Run 895. The Red Lion, Kegworth

RUN #895

Date : Sunday 21st February 2016
Location: Red Lion, Kegworth
Hare: Durex
Weather: Mildish, windy and no rain
Pack size: 18

Although QH3 have only used the Red Lion once before (Run 590 in Sep 2007),
it has been used by other hashes. This is a photo from December 2001 when
Durex, Malteaser and Skids were the hares for City of Leicester Run 87.

Hash fax Malteaser informed us this was only the 2nd time the QH3 had run from the Red Lion in Kegworth. This was surprising considering it is an excellent real ale pub at the centre of our hashing area. 

There was an excellent turn out for today's trail with 18 hashers it was the largest pack this year. The hare (Durex) informed the pack the trail had been crafted to the perfect length of 5.00 miles (if you didn't run any false trails). During the setting of the trail the hare had actually done 7 miles so plenty of checking was to be expected.

From the On Out we soon lost B*gger, today an out-and-out walking invalid. However, Shagulater and newcomer Yvonne kept up with a good walking pace to the one mile mark helped by a tortuous route out of Kegworth and some cunning checks. Jamie, Sausage and Butcher's Dog all worked hard on the false trails. Cadi was imminently observable in her fluorescent pink top and Pre-Mature chose to look like the hare by wearing the same fluorescent yellow top plus long black running trousers. Skids was back in her home town visiting from Liverpool, though no hub caps were reported as missing. Barritone seemed somewhat out of puff both with the horn and running, though having cycled to the hash from Beeston against that wind, one could understand his slowness. Miss Takemenow with her new go faster legs (streamlining?) kept up well (at least in front of Wallington). The RA Chicki was also somewhat off colour, no doubt ensuring a dry hash for Durex had taken up a lot of her strength.

At the On Inn we settled down to my favourite beer (Harvest Pale) and some

Hashy birthday to Durex....

birthday cake freshly made by Malteaser. A re-energised Chicki led the circle outside and DDs were awarded to:

1. B*gger, a non-believer who thought it was going to rain;

2. Goblin, having hasher recognition problems - should have gone to spec savers;

3. Too Tuf for allowing Chicki to get a nasty small prick when he misled her (yes we got a lot of the usual innuendo);

4. Yvonne a virgin, Shagulater's flying partner (with licence) and not from Glasgow;

5. Skids a visitor from the Wirral and Chester Hash, welcome back for her 195th QH3 trail;

6. The RA started to impose a better dress code, Cadi was punished for her fluorescent pink top. If only the beer Master had got in more beer we would have had a naming of 'Pinkie' and 'Perky' (Jamie); and finally

7. The hare, whose trail had no farm animals and lots of banging, so only got 42% vote for his trail.
