“”Sorry Hares have no Hash signs but you should be able to see my 4x4 on UK number plates. (L6 URE)”” it said in the misdirections……Yeah, right!

After a failed assault on a post office wall whereby the Range Rover was left cracked, dented, scratched and its number plate destroyed, the newly wedded couple proudly displayed a freshly constructed number plate L6URE (yes, as in Dominatrix!) as rendezvous point for the Hash in Flourens. Unfortunately they had left the back flap down so that no one could actually see the number plate, but that was just a mere detail. Despite that, we had two new families came along, which gave us lots of new runners with one of the ladies even seen running with a children’s bike on her shoulder!

In true DrWho style, the trail was deviously marked and although described as being short, right from the start it turned into a long trail with lots of wandering about shouting “ARE U??” and “CHECKING!” and generally getting lost. At several points the walkers were actually in front of the runners! Fortunately Dr Who had decided to follow at a safe distance and was able to EXPLAIN his markings to get us back on the correct path. We struggled through woods, along rivers, over exercise stations, around tennis courts, over bridges, through nettles and right proper shiggy.

(Ah, yes, if someone is looking to buy a romantic first floor T2 in a secluded wooded area? We passed one whilst on a false trail!)

In the end we all made it safely back to the circle where Dr Who and Dominatrix were given a DD for having set a confusing but well appreciate trail. The new families were introduced welcomed and to our surprise (and delight) Taupeless and Master Blaster turned out to be a family as well because Taupeless is the keeper of a Little Future Hasher (LFH)! As she will be keeping it hidden until February next year, there will be plenty of time for us to think up a nice name for it! Of course she was awarded a DD, as was Master Blaster for apparently being the guilty party!

A deserved DD went to Pink Phlegm for repeatedly calling ON-ON when there was no flour in sight and thereby confusing an already confused pack. The announcement that Bearded Clam and DIY are threatening to visit us in October resulted in the immediate and unanimous decision to cancel all October hashes. One feeble attempt of a verse of the Hash Hymn (Scrubber come back please!) closed the proceedings. An enjoyable run!
