The Red Lion, Dagnall

The Leveret's Tale

Hare: Hot Shot

HASHERS: 13  ANKLE BITERS: 1  MUTTS: 1


"First I had to listen to Capt F's jokes: they weren't very funny.


At Cross Keys Farm I had to encourage the knitting circle to keep up.


I hadn't seen an Eye Check before and Daddy had to explain what it was.


Double Entry wasn't allowed to use her Eyes after the Eye Check.


Daddy was tired and falling behind so I came back to pull him along.


Down Hog Hall Lane we had to come back and tell the others to hurry up.


In the bar everyone wanted to buy me a drink because I had been so helpful.


The first down-down was for me because it had been my naming day and


I forgot to tell you Daddy was the Hare and he is my hero and let me wear his hat.


I went in the circle because it was my birthday last month when I was 5.


Next there was a one to the back check and that was me.


Atomic wanted to pick mushrooms but I told her to be careful.


In Ringshall Daddy couldn't see the trail so I climbed on his shoulders to see it for him.


I followed the trail and took Daddy out in front a long way from the pack.


Back at the pub I used Forking as a step ladder to wave the pack on.


Then we put silly things on our heads and I was given a new name.


then I nominated Lady P for a drink because she looked so cold.


In the end they said I should eat lemon to take the smile off my face."

Well what can I say except ahhhh. A little Leveret was very tired after helping the hash around the trail: daddy (HotShot) had to go and have a little sleep and I feel sure he wasn't the only one.

Clues were given out in the circle that Leroy would call this a short run, our newly named Leveret wasn't a hare because he couldn't do this distance 2 days in a row but still no one showed any sign of worry.

Out the hash went on to the trail and all in the wrong direction except for Forking who clearly had a nose for the trail we were heading for a pig farm and there was a bit of a niff. The first fish hook was found by Captain F and then the second and then the third at this point Leveret stepped in and took one for the team. Captain F remarked that there were far to many number ones on the route to which the hare explained that no hasher wants a number two on a trail, it was around this point that Captain F found a number two and the hare laughed.

At this point Clap Trap became an F.R.B. and promptly ran to the back.

Our next challenge was a rather steep slope which even Count Roadkill managed with his bad back.

On they went and Forking got excited at the sight of a pub and then let slip a lack of funds so ran on. At this point they were half way with the time being 10 to 12. A worried hare looked at his watch, we carried on past houses named after many witches and then down hill to the Red Lion.

Once in the Pub Leveret took a stall at the bar and our R.A. Forking asked if anyone felt that they should award themselves a down-down a new way of doing things me thinks.

In the circle Leveret was named and then awarded Lady P with a down down. Another drink was awarded to Blow Felt which meant that Forking missed out. How did that happen?

ON ON to Shillington
