Location: The John Thompson pub & brewery
Hare: Gobalot
Weather: Late summer sunshine
Pack size: 11
With sunset at 19:58 this was probably our last daylight evening hash trail of 2016. Goodbye summer. And what a nice sunset it was - no RA needed for some splendid summer sunshine, just Durex standing in as temp RA for the day.
There were a number of faces we haven't seen on a Quorn hash for a while. Hare Gobalot now sets as many trails as she actually runs, and then there was Oriface, stuck on 100 runs since June 2014, he has finally made it 101. It was also welcome back to Rutland hasher Bummer.
The pack passed Bugger and Goblin arriving at the On Inn just after the On Out, though with the first bit of the trail being a three-quarters of a mile uphill stretch they soon caught up, despite Malteaser taking off as though she still had the runs. Indeed, for a trail on the Trent flood plain the hare managed to find a route with a lot of uphill. Wallington was our SRB for the day with his poorly wrists which didn't stop him walking most of this 4.5 mile trail. Trianal was also present doing his usual lots of checking and, with Ballcrusher, Lightning Rod and Oriface assisting, the pack moved around swiftly. This was just as well because after witnessing a lovely sunset we still had a couple of miles to do. Fortunately the clear sky meant we all got back before darkness.
Durex led the circle awarding:
1. Welcome back to Bummer;
2. Lightning Rod and Oriface for always checking together, the latter giving a very good impression he didn't know where the trail was going;
3. Wallington was given a beer to help cure his wrists, no problem doing a DD;
4. Trianal for starting a new job, we like to celebrate new things on our hash;
5. The hare Gobalot for an excellent trail even though we didn't see the puma and there was no pub quiz for us to enjoy. We actually had a secret ballot and it was thumbs up all around - that'll be a 48% good trail then; and finally, of those that had stayed for the circle,
6. The two remaining NODDYs (Not Offered a Down Down Yet) - Ballcrusher and Malteaser, the latter won the award for her enthusiasm at the start of the trail.
That's the way I saw it, On On.. Durex
