QH3 Run 903. Moira Furnace, Moira

RUN #903

Date : 8th May 2016
Location: Moira Furnace, Moira
Hares: B*gger and Goblin
Weather: Summer sunshine
Pack size: 6

A very small select pack turned out for this trail and we didn't even need an RA to ensure good weather. We started from near the Moira Furnace and it was hot! Basically, the pack consisted of Wallington and Malteaser, a dream checking team there for a run set by B*gger and Goblin, hares with a good reputation for setting trails with excellent checks.
I was on post-operation manoeuvres which involved a 3-mile walk with the hare along some of the 5-mile trail. In the end Malteaser recorded 6.4 miles which meant she must have done a bit of checking. Poor Wallington looked exhausted having not been allowed a walking option. The National Forest is an excellent hashing venue, too bad there weren't more here today to enjoy a good trail on a lovely sunny Sunday. There was a sixth and so far unmentioned member of the pack who had come all the way from Liverpool. Skids turned up late, missed the car boot sale adjacent to the car park and only made it around a small part of the trail.
The hares provided beer and shortbread hash feet, so there was no need to vote on this nomination for the trail of the year. Just not many people around to vote for it. 
The entire running pack - Malteaser and Wallington- took the first DD followed by the hares who were thanked for an excellent trail. Announcements were brief, there are still no hares for the next two runs, i.e. the rest of May. No hares, no trails........
