Well it was a hot one! Thankfully Blow-Felt kept me in order and we didn't end up running all the way to the RSPB hill. The RA over-ordered the good weather and so we had a glorious evening for Hashing.

Away from the New Inn (a new Inn for the hash too) and after numerous falsies in the centre of town, Double Entry led the way to check out the newly opened bridge. This too proved false and Underlay led the correct way to the next check. FRB duties were then taken on by Capt F and Pecker as the pack headed to more rural areas.

Rapid and Edwina were next to face the wrath of numbers as the likes of Shagpile played his get out of jail free card. Bangers didn't have a card, but was generous in delegating to Forking.

Crossed the railway safely, negotiated the cricket field and then followed the river to the On-Inn.

Down downs for myself and Blow-felt for haring, Bangers and Pecker the birthday boys, Forking for having his head up a chickens backside, DE and Gor-Joyce for misdemeanors spotted by the RA and G-String for arriving so late that he only just beat the hash to the pub.

On On to Maypole Farm in Kempston, where Forking and Edwina have a run and a half planned for us – or was that half a run?
