Run No. 1589 on Monday 7th June, a good turn out on a great sunny evening (for a change)
at the Bridford Inn Bridford for Forrest and F / Humps trail, where new
virgin Hasher Nick was duly “anointed” by Teapot. Forrest produced a
long list of Trail instructions L/S S/S F/S Fish-hooks etc. etc. but
only remembering as we ran off to call out that his trail was in sawdust
overlapping Haldon's trail laid in flour! which did confuse some later
when the trails crossed. On this excellent evening it
was
good to out in such scenic area as DEEP SEMEN commented to me, the only
problem being, that if I looked up I may go down! as we crossed the
tricky heath land. We did meet up with Haldon after the reservoirs but I
don’t think they were going to be out as long as we were! Under the
guidance of DRAG ACT, PIDDLER and I found ourselves leading the pack,
although we may have cut short after Kennick. Along woodland tracks,
lanes, fields Forrest threw everything at us, at the fruit stop outside
the flooded Quarry, it was no swimming due to fish spawning and also the
farmer and his wife were there enjoying a quiet evening (photo).
Eventually at approx 9:30 we finally all made it On Home. Although
COLDTITZ appeared at 10:15 with her “award” but by then it was all over
and the DD's had already been awarded to :-
FORREST HUMP for altering the Trail.
FORREST himself for that long trail 9.9 miles that’s if you did it all.
BOBBIBALL for complaining even though he was on a bike!
LADY BOUY her 50 Runs badge.
Well done the Hares for an excellent evening and that trail!
On-On to next week at Lower Whiddon Farm, nr Ashburton, Bobbiball ( map to follow )
