Poor Sausage had to get up early, miss breakfast and help Butcher's Dog lay this trail (with a broken hand) in the freezing cold. By the time we all got there it was a lovely spring day with lots of sunshine.
Trails from Gotham are either very flat (à la Butt Plug to the east) or very hilly in every other direction. The hares chose the latter course and I think that we ran up then down every hill. The 'Grand Old Duke of York' sprung to mind. The three walkers (Shagulater, B*gger and Butt Plug) were offered a shorter route which cut out one long down and up.
At the ON INN the RA (Chicki) gave the following awards: (1) Ballcrusher: welcome back; (2) Shagulater: for missing last week's 900th trail with a hangover; (3) Too Tuf: Interfering with the RA by pointing out important hash traditions like no hats in the circle; (4) Durex: for getting most of the checks right, letting Malteaser run a false trail before calling ON, and threatening to reveal the 'celebrity threesome' on his blog; (5) Butt Plug: leaving his wife (Underlay) behind at home on her birthday; (6) Lincolnshire Sausage: for moaning about the cold and missing breakfast; (7) Butcher's Dog: successfully bribing the hash with cake to get an accolade of 84% for the trail (though immediately downgraded to a 43% as none of our trails are ever that good!). A nice trail set by the hares, well done.
In the announcements Chicki volunteered to set the next trail to celebrate her 600th Quorn hash. Barritone put in a plug for his party on Saturday 21st May (White Horse, Beeston) - he needs you to vote for your favourite Barry Shaw song. See http://www.barryshaw.net/
