Eighteen months since we were last here, and the weather certainly much warmer, our June Monday hash was from the Navigation Inn, Breaston. Already grumpy because of Brexit, I now found myself having to lay a hash trail on a night when England had a game in the Euro football championship. At least the pub had a TV in the bar and I could watch the end of the match. But things did get even worse. England recorded their worst result ever loosing 1-2 to Iceland. I was now grateful to have been doing a hash trail instead of watching the match. Two Euro exits in one week that will be remembered for far longer than this hash!
The trail itself headed south from Breaston, crossing fields that the week before had been under water following some torrential thunderstorms. At least with our RA we always know it is going to be sunny and dry for the trail. 
Malteaser did have shoes to run in after claiming for most of the week that she'd left her £100 running shoes behind at last Sunday's On Inn. They were in fact at home in the airing cupboard.
Jelly Knob went down on the hash again, this time landing on his nose, fortunately with no damage but without much sympathy from the pack. Some parallel checking and then calling 'On On' on paths both sides of an impenetrable hedge by 'twins' Barritone and Malteaser confused the pack somewhat and allowed the SRB to catch up.
The trail as set was engineered to be a perfect five miles though, with plenty of checking, some hashers ran nearly six.
Chicki as RA led the circle in the Navigation's beer garden. DDs went to:

1. Malteaser and Barritone 'twins' wearing the same T-shirt, Barritone was adjudged to be the copier and got the DD;
2. Too Tuf for his Denver 'Mile High Humpin' hash T-shirt;
3. Jelly Knob for going down on the hash again;
4. Butt Plug - repeated mobile phone interruptions;
5. B*gger - latecomer;
6. Ballcrusher for having a fanny pack; 
7. The Hare Durex. No sheep, plenty of horses and olympic platforms. No referendum needed to award this 100%; and
8. Too Tuf was selected to finish off the DD beer whilst demonstrating his beer mat collection.

That's the way I'll remember a fairly normal hash in an otherwise momentous week in the history of the UK.....the hash goes On and On
