Run 1259

Monday 18 May 2015

The Compasses, Greenfield

Hare: Capt Fantaaastic

HASHERS: 17  MUTTS: 2  VISITORS: 1

Twas a lovely Sunday. Laying the trail was a pleasure apart from the fear of being shot at by the murder (I choose the collective noun carefully) of clay pigeon shooters that I encountered.

It might have been lovely on Saturday, but it was more than moist for most of Monday, which meant that there was almost a total lack of trail markings to guide the pack for the actual run.

We were graced by the presence of Lunch Sack a visiting hasher from the London City hash and a second appearance from last week’s Peas-in-the-Pot, Ribbon-and-Curls. Nicely Calypygeous [OED: callipygous; Dep Ed] Wriggleys-Gums was the consensus of most of the Pot-and-Pan hashers.

As we set off it became a little Uncle-Willie as the Turin-Shrouds closed in.

Right from the start it became apparent that our visitor was a bit of a Botany-Bay, as he sped off like a Harry-Dash. Anyone would think it was a Charley-Chase.

The rain earlier did mean that the old Ones-and-Twos did get a little muddy, but that’s hashing and that's why we love it.

Corporal-Klinger, Coat-Hangers and Roast-Pork-ing checked out the Dunstable check.

Most of the run was off Frog-and-Toad, and some of it was alongside the Bullocks-Liver.

A short cut was offered just after the Left-in-the-Lurch as this avoided the LONG-INN for the Cream-Crackered and the rape field for the hay fever sufferers.

At least everyone got back without experiencing any Please-and-Pain.

Back at the Rub-a-dub it was time for a wee Tiddly-Wink of some fine Pigs-Ear accompanied by Sexton-Blake courtesy of Catch-It.
