MH3 Run 275
Date: Monday 16th May 2016
Location: Holly Bush Inn, Makeney
Hare:Trianal
Weather: Dry
Pack size: 12
This was the 275th run of the Mickleover Hash House Harriers though recorded as run 269 by Dobber to make up for his omission in run numbering last November. Well at least we'll all be using the same run number from next month!
Today was a Trianal trail so on past experience hashers were expecting an eventful trail and they were not disappointed. Knowing this was going to be a long trail I had no hesitation opting for a walk with the walkers, as opposed to walking the whole trail like Seaman Stains does. Even the hare's complaints about self inflicted damage done to himself on a downhill cycling incident didn't dim our expectations that Trianal would still manage a long and hilly route.
Catflaps, Lionel, Dobber and myself had an enjoyable leisurely walk of just over 3 miles in an hour. We had an hour drinking by ourselves before the first of the main pack huffed and puffed their way in (Beer 'n' Loathing and Lightning Rod) having lost the trail somewhere along the way. They were followed by Gobalot and Oriface then, as it was getting dark, some two and a quarter hours and 7.5 miles into the run the stragglers arrived including Barritone, Seaman Stains and Malteaser, the latter having twisted an ankle. Good job Barritone's train wasn't until 11:20 pm.
Awards were given to: Gobalot (window shopping in Belper); Malteaser (spending much of the trail talking on her phone); Lionel (recounting the 10 most common medical complaints when you get old); Seaman Stains (walking around the whole trail); Barritone (excellent planning in aiming to get the late train back home); and, finally, the hare Trianal, whose trail met the standards we have come to expect from him.
