Run Reports to September 28, 2010 |
Run 1375 |
Pig Pen @ The Wheatsheaf |
31.08.10 |
Nice setting with the green in front of us, as all confused.com
wondered where the off was… ’blanking find it’ said the Hare! Yes, Horsell Common it was, an ideal
location for our dizzy band of happy Hashers eager for some dinosaur hunting
in the woods? A few visitors from before, back with us again, Call Girl and
her friend Squash Balls……careful……it is not tennis you know. Wazzer and Tosser were supremely gifted
tonight, using their powers from ‘Twilight’ the movie to suddenly appear 400
yds ahead of where we were? How did they do that? Why do people live in
Woking? Apart from the woods, there is…….what? Anyway, Pig Pen worked hard to light up
signposts, by standing underneath them with his torch on his head,
encouraging hashers to go down dark alleys, as is his custom. Trail was
cleverly kept in the green stuff but no pixies popped up to welcome us.
There’s always next time! |
Run 1376 |
Lunchbox @ The Fox |
07.09.10 |
Well, a rare night being light on Hashers, just the Magnificent
Seven to experience a chilly autumnal evening, amongst the oak, ash, birch
and cherry trees. Lunchbox took us
into the ancient woodland of Rydons Wood, and Merlewood Near and Merlewood
Far, as we seemed to go round and round, and then down Dale, and right down
into Happy Valley in the dark, which is in the borough of Croydon, not a soul
to be seen or a sound to be heard, except us, eerie indeed. Great terrain, up 66 wooden steps, and then through some more
woodland, excellent. Sir Raymond
joined us tonight, very welcome, not seen him since Friday Street 2 years
ago, plus Belgrano a local resident, Little Bear not keen on the cows and
Daffy, plus Naked Chef and Ding a Ling joined Lunch Box on this delightful
run through the dark, cleverly set, with much checking done by all. The 20 miles to Anglo Saxon Coulsdon Common
was worth it, a friendly but deserted pub (An Ale House since 1720) due to
England playing, and barmaids from Poland to boot! Lunch Box scores here! |
Run 1378 |
Naked Chef @ Marney Village
Inn |
14.09.10 |
Nature decided to rain
down upon us as we arrived for this delightful location overlooking the pond
and golf course. Naked Chef laid on a superb trail into Littleworth Common,
as we avoided jumping frogs on the footpaths, and snails eating the flour
too. We never did quite know where we
were going on this dark blustery eve, tricked at every turn but what fun it
was! It was great to see
some favourites back from sunny climes, Spanish Mistress & Mark brought
Sam the dog, and Claire brought Arnie too, Knickers arrived from the airport,
no…just London this time. Sarah was
back to her best, sprinting to the finish, no less! Whilst standing outside the pub under the
heated lamps, Claire was spotted seated in front of a sign, ‘No Asses beyond
this point’…so Ding a Ling reminded her, and suddenly a pose was struck for
the camera! Mark was heard to say ‘Sex
and Heat’ not quite sure where he was going with that one ……Linda will advise
us. Ruth glammed up in pink, very
fetching and Alan overdressed for once, unrecognisable. Little Bear was seen running with her
flashing Dog Collar with 4 red lights, some cheeky chappy said ‘ one more
light and you can start a Grand Prix’……or perhaps she is earning money for a
new carpet, and underlay!! Mother
Brown just back from a dream holiday, wait for it, Amsterdam to
Budapest…..rivers and canals all the way check it out…….A Super night for all
Weybridge Hashers and Friends. |
Run 1379 |
Spanish Mistress & Mark @
The White Hart |
21.09.10 |
As the Haress pointed out, when Venus is in the ascendency, the
moon is full, the Tiger Year is at is peak and Virgo is in the House of
Aries, all the augeries are good. We were not disappointed. Off the tarmac
and onto the good stuff about as fast as you could get. A treat of a run on
Pirbright Common skirting the ranges with some good checks to keep the pack
together. But the omens were not so easily interpreted for the selection of
drinking venue. To be at the White
Hart (a bit too Posh) or to be at the Cricketers? That was the question. Whether 'tis nobler to stay at the
advertised venue or pop off somewhere else after using their car park? Well, the pack had no compunction about it.
Off to the Cricketers. Unfortunately, latecomer Ding-a-Ling's crystal ball
clouded, or his principles left him in solitary splendour in the White
Hart. At the Cricketers, we found a
quiet lounge bar and made it very noisy.
The publican was so welcoming he put on chips for us. Very generous, Linda, thank you. Newcomer Tea Boy and his virgin mate (both
deckies from Joe Shell - or Shell Tankers to the uninitiated) had no problem
with the run but failed in their other objective of latching on to a bit of
totty. Come on WH3! Worzel was first in of the runners...boring |
Run 1380 |
Mother Brown @ The Red Lion |
28.09.10 |
Another hearty gathering of souls tonight as the air chills, and
the dark envelops us. New Hashers
Murray and Lee from last week joined us again. Murray particularly keen, as he gave blood
only a few hours earlier! Sue and Lisa
also returned to the fold, smiling as always. Well Mother Brown turned it on
tonight, a real Harry Potter trail, all we needed was a few wizards and
goblins to pop out and surprise us as we covered every field, stile and tree
covered pathway in sight looking for more flour, which was aplenty. Another interesting new runner joined us, Desi does, well I
can’t speak for her but she was keen………to know every command we shouted out,
another regular I suspect in our midst.
The lady in the Red Lion smothered us with chunky chips, much needed
after our nippy evening in the blackness. On On to the next MB, a top trail ! |
