Does Nothing picked Adorable Blue Balls again as his co-hare. Last time I was the only hasher to find the trail, and found lots of prizes on the way. We set off and as usual Junglicious set an early pace, Chuckie and I enjoying following her up the hill. We all ran past a hidden circle check down hill to the left, and as they found the circle behind us, so we found the trail on ahead. Great trails, we looped around, a bit up and down, but soon enough we were at a new circle check overlooking the last circle check.
A bit of confusion, but soon enough Junclicious called us over the hill and CW & I were chasing her down the trail, through the gate and into an orchard. I’ve been here before and as the top 2 choices were taken I went to check under the barbed wire ditch – its an option, but very overgrown at the moment. It wasn’t a surprise when Chuckie called on on and I made my way back to trail. Take it steady I thought, pollution was horrid. Up hill a bit and rounding the corner I came to a bunch of confusion. The trail ran out. We spent 15 minutes hunting in every direction… There was no lack of trying… When the confusion ended, the trail must have been sabotaged…
The unfortunate bit was, the sabotaged part of the trail was right before it broke right or left. Breaking right was most likely – that is where the good hashing trails are. I went 4-500m in that direction looking to intersect paper. Talking to the hares after, it did break to the right, but…. we didn’t find it. At that point (40 mins in) we had the choice of hunting up the hill to the right, or down to the left, so we all in turn came back to the left. Enough polluted air – time for beer!
Thanks hares for putting in the mileage, sorry we didn’t find it, but at least you have a run in the back pocket…
