RUN #902
Location: Stratford Haven
Hares:Too Tuf and Chicki
Weather: Dry after hale and sleet
Pack size: 8
A rare Quorn hash trail not attended by myself so this is a report thanks to comments from the hare (Chicki) and photos from Hash Flash (Lily the Pink). I never did find out whether the Stratford Haven was a very clever On Inn choice by the hares to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death and or whether my effort to find a hashing reference from one of his plays was in vain - 'Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.'
Before the hash set off we saw a heavy rain storm, sleet and snow. There was a 10 minute delay at the start of the run whilst hashers relieved themselves of their coats when they realised that despite the absence of Durex and the RA having to multi-task, being the hare as well as the RA, that this was going to be another dry run and indeed it was, with lots of blue sky and sunshine. It was of course a cracking run - taking in two parks, the streets of West Bridgford where Puss in Boots was born and grew up and lots of canal foot path. There were no prostitutes or sheep but plenty of ducks.
Butcher's Dog, Too Tuf and Chicki were awarded embroidered haberdashery and down-downs for having done 200 runs and 600 runs respectively. Pre-mature was the RA's glamorous assistant and presented the new clothes and then having done a marvellous job was given a down-down. Puss in Boots was given a down-down for wearing a Spurs T-shirt; Bummer was given one for a welcome back; Butcher's Dog was given another down-down for using her nose to distinguish the flour blobs from the copious amount of duck poo, well it is what dogs do. Butt Plug got a down-down for being an invalid. We are not really a very PC hash. And finally, Too Tuf was given another down-down for a cracking trail. The RA suggested that it might be a 98% and then there was a suggestion of 9.8%. No points could be awarded for losing Scroates because he wasn't there.
