Run 1316
Sun 28 Nov
Hares :- Cannae be Arsed and Trouser Shredder
Location :- In the Woods between Slug Road and South Deeside Road
Watching Lights Out`s road rage antics on the way to the On On would normally have been the highlight of my day. However unabated joy was increased on arriving at the appointed car park to find :-
- brilliant sunshine
- Thain`s pies
A truly heavenly start. Awarded Hash Horn and Scribe duties as a reward, I`m sure for creating Run of the Year on the mean streets of Persley mere weeks before , only heightened my pleasure on a day which turned out to be almost as good as said Persley adventure .
Pre run down down went to Penguin , but as I was admiring my most Halloween-like bright orange waistcoat at the time , I struggle somewhat to recall the reason – if indeed there was any reason at all. None really needed to donate beer to a Hasher after all.
To the run then ! A beautiful assortment of appropriately clad celebrants of the Halloween tradition ( well done us , we woz all ded brill ) set off on a truly glorious Autumn morning. Thanks then to the witch/warlock powers of the Hares for providing such astoundingly good weather. And an astoundingly good run too.
Somewhat disadvantaged without the magnificent back-drop of Tesco or the Persley Sewage works , our valiant Hares were never going to reach the dizzy heights of my very own prior epic. However they did manage to come very, very VERY close. Brilliant , wonderful and great. Lovely countryside , varied trail , a good number of thought provoking checks and an opportunity for Watzoff to display his dazzling array of Political and Diplomatic skills in “pleasant conversation” with a local landowner. I only wish I had been present at that last bit to sample , nay to revel in , Watzoff`s rapier like verbal dexterity. Sometimes `tis a veritable calamity to be nearer the head of the pack when so much fun is being had elsewhere.
Back at the circle , the remains of Olymprick`s provisions were polished off ( mainly I think by Olivia , perched in his boot greeting the arrival of each male Hasher with a well practised “Dad –Da” ) and Down Downs were awarded to :-
Tongue Lasher for a bit of a lapse in vehicular security measures
Bubbles and Soapy ( plus gifted t-shirts ) for taking a short walk to buy a paper or something.
Hilary for a practised habit of loving us and leaving us too soon at the end of most runs.
Watzoff for his political and diplomatic dexterity.
Sergio , Lum , Lights Out , Trouser Shredder and Mad Cyclist for taking due note of the date and dressing up accordingly. Olymprick should have also been involved but suffered a technical equipment failure ( he couldnae drink through his mask !)
The Hares for a great run.
And Lights Out again for outstanding driving skills.
