Capt F warms his hand ...


... Lady P is not so sure


Team Hare worthy of a drink


Nice spot for a Gluhwein stop ...


... whichever way you look at it


Abettin', amused by his tumble


Nik Nak and Ringer, snuck off together


DE tried to talk Blowers into ramming

Oops, another delay. Shaun the sheep movie was too good to miss. A bit like our HASH run really. Big sheep, participants falling down, mutts 🐶 on and off the trail. Dressing up in HASHy gear. It's all in the movie! 🐏

We did have a nice day thanks to the RA👍. Musgrave Arms is thankfully still open and a welcoming pub it is. The ales are fine 🍺 and the Prosecco down down for the HARE was excellent. 🍾

There was an assistant Hare Julian, as the Gluhwein 🍷, Stollen and mincepies were too heavy a load for the Hares to carry. Julian was a star to get to the HOLD point on time.

Blowers and some friends had a game of Pooh Sticks 🐻 by the unusually fast flowing stream. The runners took a different path, did not spot a Pooh stick opportunity further downstream as they raced past where the Noah's Ark 🚢 used to be, past the 🍓 allotments, through the church yard and noticed Julian offering the Gluhwein and Stollen. Sweets 🍬 🍫 for some.

Ringer and Nik Nak took a slightly longer route, but we all ended up at the starting point.

A great start to 2020.

On On to the run and New Year Lunch at The Green Man

*NOTE FROM SCRIBE: Inserting emojis in Wurdz does not guarantee a Turner Prize and translating emojis into the website is a skill well above my paygrade... perhaps a Deputy Scribe will rescue me? Or not, I don't mind.
