QH3 Run 905. The Boat Inn Cromford

RUN #906
Date : Sunday 5th June 2016

Location: The Boat Inn, Cromford
Hares: Butt Plug and Underlay
Weather: Dry, warm and sunny
Pack size: 14

The hare said he had to search for hills in Cromford. He didn't have to look too far. The altitude change records of 2015 (224m Jingle Balls run from Cromford) and 2014 (268m Manifold Inn) were easily surpassed with a healthy climb of 282m. The common denominator in all these trails? Butt Plug was the hare for all of them.
A reasonably sized pack for a trail on the margins of our hashing area, no doubt nice sunny weather encouraging hasher to come out for the day. Many of those attending made use of the train to Cromford.
It was a trail of ideal length (5.5 miles) with some excellent views but the hilliness of the area meant that most took more than 2 hours to complete. It didn't taken long for latecomers B*gger, Goblin and Captain Oates to catch up with the pack. Good checks repeatedly held up the FRBs and Lily the Pink, Puss in Boots and Premature took a detour following blobs of sand rather than flour. 
There were plenty of scenic stops on the way around - our new enthusiastic hash flash (Lily the Pink) posts photos to the Quorn Hash House Harriers Group on Facebook.
We were able to enjoy the summer sunshine in the beer garden until Chicki started the circle. Awards went to: 1. Pre-Mature for asking Too Tuf the previous evening if today's trail would have hills - in the Peak District!; 2. Too Tuf for misinforming Pre-Mature that there would be no hills. As hash cultural attaché his recruiting methods in the Pottle of Blues at the last trail were also called into question; 3. Jelly Knob who never stood still whilst waiting for the ON OUT and then needed to lie down in the buttercup meadow three quarters of the way

sighting of crocodiles, their presence was confirmed

around the trail; 4. Lily the Pink who led a group of hashers down a false trail on the basis of blobs of sand. Also for a poorly elbow as a result of going down on a fisherman during a run earlier in the week; 5.Puss in Boots for poor checking at the first check; 6. B*gger for claiming he had a tree house in his garden, namely a plank of wood in a tree; 7. Goblin for claiming her husband was a 'country priest driver', the derivation of which I will not repeat for fear of slandering our GM; 8. Malteaser, for supporting Goblin during the aforementioned discussion, identified as GM abuse; 9. Captain Oates, latecomer; 10. Ballcrusher, falsely blamed for following blobs of sand (see 4) and also causing a stampede of bullocks; 11. Barritone, for trying hard to look as though he was not asking for directions whilst in a conversation with a gesticulating member of the public; 12. Underlay for knee problems, which brought into question as to what Butt Plug does to his women; 13. Durex for insulting Underlay, or merely pointing out the laws of physics regarding the fact that 3 hashers were counterbalancing a picnic table with Underlay sat opposite; and 14. The hare Butt Plug who received a mere 41.5% for the trail because he didn't manage to lose Captain Oates. A harsh vote for something that must be a favourite for trail of the year. That's what you get when you give people a chance to vote in a referendum...
