I showed up a little early at the Bone Residence and found the hare – she assured me she knew nothing about the run, because she’d been doing the food instead! Clearly Bone Hur was going to be the guilty party if it wasn’t a good run. In the hare brief he talked about toilet paper and pointed us out the back gate.

I set off and along the road we ran into a check back. Back to the cross check and again my next choice was a check back. Sloppy had enough even then and took off for a private run into the hills. The true trail had us on a little loop back around to the road and our usual route to the hills. With few checks the pack split up following Semen Sores for a while and then when we headed up into the hills behind the temple Chuck Wao took over.

I lost sight of the leaders as we cut across the hill and back down. A glimpse of Horny Monkey at the road as I ran past the quarry and what appeared to be a cock fight or muay thai. A circle check that nobody had kicked out, but it had to be left so I took off and finally heard some calls off to the right. I made my way around the road and intercepted the FRBs “checking”? or were they just off paper? no idea, but it kept happening as the hare took random abrupt turns.

Eventually I spotted the hare hiding in some bushes, and headed towards him. i enjoyed Chuckie’s grim face as he jogged in a few moments after me. The pack was split up massively due to the fast pace and paucity of checks which gave us good time for a dip in the pool before the circle.

4th November – CH4 – Angry Inch

Angry Inch was the hare, but it seemed he did a fantastic job of delegation – delegating Poo to set the trail and run the circle! Poo decided to live hare it and asked for a 10 minute head start. Angry Inch really didn’t want us to leave, but after 5 minutes we set off in pursuit.

It appears that Poo had already broken live haring etiquette, by pre-laying trail – the first False Trail which bought him an extra few minutes. In the confusion it was Frozen Dick that ended up as FRB, and for the 2nd day running inexperienced FRBs caused confusion to reign, and Poo was surely off into the distance by then.

We all know the Ag centre well, and hares essentially have a choice – running along the flat trails at the bottom of the hill, OR going up the hill. NOT BOTH! Given that it was a live haring, the flat trails seemed the obvious choice – Belly Dancer cut across and claimed he caught the hare… Anyway, it was through the orchard (de ja vu) and along the reservoir – the trails much more overgrown than previously. Poo even managed to build a blockade to suggest he hadn’t been through.

My legs started feeling the effects of Bone Hur hill yesterday, my head was feeling the effects of an evening with Evil Big Top, so I was unsettled that we set off to do the loop around the big field which would add a couple of km to the run. Abruptly there was a circle check and the trail cut left UP THE HILL! Huh? Is Poo some kind of superman? A live hare, after 5km decides to go up the hill? Nobody wanted to check that way, but sure enough the trail went up… I’m guessing that the beer stop was up there somewhere – Square Rooter and I thought better of it – afterall what goes up must come down!

When we got back, having crawled under a barbwire fence, there were already quite an assembly at the A bucket. Conspicuously no hares, but plenty of short cutters! The hares strolled in after about an hour, and Humperdick lead the FRBs in a while after that with them appearing from all directions. I think only Humperdick actually came from the same direction as Poo. Skid Mark was DFL clocking up 9.5km! Nice run, I do like the live hare scenario, but not sure my legs will recover in time for a return to male hashing tomorrow…

Along the canal road to the Bone Residence – having run here several times before, I guessed what to expect – visualising the run up “Bone Hur Hill” as usual. The first thing out of the ordinary was as we were sent out the back gate, rather than as usual along the drive and out the front gate. Interesting – Belly Dancer put in his usual charge, but I couldn’t let him have his moment of glory and charged away at the front with Crazy Crack and Nam Ron following behind.

After half a km or so we got to the first circle, and having the pick I chose right, with the idea of crossing the causeway just around the corner. After 50m I was surprised to see paper on the left as though it was coming around the corner. I was skeptical, but what the hell “ONON!”. Straight along the road, and another circle. Nobody wanted to check right as it would take you back to the house, but eventually Leon (later inappropriately named ‘Hand Some’???) called on on. And there was the On-In… Ooops, bit of a Fuck Up. Runners were tempted to go back in, but we managed to persuade enough people to go back only to find all the walkers heading in the right direction as directed by Bone Hur.

Confusion reigned as walkers were the FRBs, and they didn’t know how to deal with the checks. We hit the hill and it was Nutcracker that lead the way up. I got a check badly wrong and ended up trying to pass Burrito Butt on the narrow trail. The trail kept going up and up and up. Damn you hares!

I lost ground on Chuckie, Poo and Nam Ron as the hill took it’s toll on me. Finally we reached the top, and I could pass Big Top, Nutcracker and Joint Venture on the steep descent to the road. The road? We must be around 2km out at this point. Argh! Knowing where the OnIn was didn’t help and the few checks there were did nothing to bring the pack together. Oh well, it was a pleasant trail nonetheless.

CSH3 Hangover Run – Skid Mark

Skiddy & Bone Hur got up bright and early to set us a hangover run – and man what a hangover…  I thought drinking with Dead Virgin might have been a mistake, but it was Geisha Gash, Unplugged & Maow who did the damage with their wine etc…  I was feeling destroyed when I w0ke up this morning and found my fridge empty!

Skid Mark must have understood my feelings and set a hangover run that was just about right.  At the first circle the question was is he arcing us left or right – Right looked ominous into the mountains, while left seemed a friendly option – left it was, down the hill, back up the steep hill and it was back to the circle.  What next?  Well it’s clearly the time to start drinking, afterall it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!

A short circle is a good circle – it gave us just the right amount of time to recap the outstation’s key moments – significantly Belly Dancer’s trip in the bathroom and the blood that poured from the back of his head.   It was a good outstation with a good group of people, nicely chilled after recent hashing disagreements. Finally getting to meet Bow Wow and Head Hacker was a highlight for me – particularly Bow Wow demonstrating how to clean herself properly!
