Well\, actually\, very early - about 6:40pm. (Ed. sounds suspiciously like some astute forward-planning...) The harriets we re discussing how to spend the time. To a hasher\, it was obvious: I made a beeline for the bar. They rapidly saw the value of the move and joined me for a drink. Seeing a pint\, the locals questioned if we were not going running(?). We explained the ‘drinkers with a running problem’ thing. They thought it was great\, and Gary press-ganged one of them\, Lucy\, a youngster who was part way through her fourth pint (Ed. therefore emine ntly qualified by hashing standards to tackle an uncertain number of miles over potentially hazard-strewn terrain. In the dark)\, into joining us. I t transpired that she’d been taught cross-country running by our esteeme d leader (even more esteemed after this revelation - wish my teachers had combined drinking and sport!). Anyway\, after a bit more chat\, it was tim e to Circle Up.\n“Welcome to Luton!” to quote Olive from the previou s week. Guess that might account for her absence\, if she was in Luton\, B edfordshire\, and SH4 was in Lutton (Ed. a distinct lack of aircraft was n oted by the assembled). Doggy Style did the intros - including Lucy\, her dog Mouse\, and a friend who wasn’t quite so enthusiastic (perhaps she hadn’t been drinking and/or thought looking after her friend might b e a bit more of a challenge than she’d signed up for?!?)\; her little si ster had already seen the writing on the wall and disappeared. Great welco me back for Thing\, too.\n\nVery specific mileages were given for the Lon gs &\; Shorts by the hares\, Jelly Baby &\; Dulux. Also\, warning s about cattle/sheep\, dogs on leads etc\, but they were the ones Lucy l ooked after\, so it was all going to be ok. At that point\, Lowtarse aba ndoned her dog to Twisted Sister as he was looking a bit sheepish (Ed. a s in peckish for sheep...?). Shaggy initially hadn’t bothered with her head torch as she was confident she'd be so fast that she'd get round in time\, but on hearing that the long was six miles decided to take it (Ed. I mean\, there's obviously no point trying to argue any differently...but who knew the inadequacy of simply bringing a head-torch to the same postc ode location? [Er\, yes\, that's right: everyone]. Turns out you're suppos ed to wear it [ideally on your head] on the run\, too\; how tedious.)\n\nT he trail was a classic hash\, a lot of that down to the hares having got c learance from landowners to run outside of defined footpaths\, through bog s and woods etc. It made the checks a lot more interesting\, and a great t rail\, added to by the great weather\, lovely views and a fantastic sunset . (Ed. 👌 And for a pretty glorious example of the latter\, see below.)\ n\nEvents on the trail:\nAt the beginning\, on the flat\, Lucy somersaul ted over her own feet (nothing to do with the four pints of lager...)\, p ossibly tripping over the becoming pink baler twine she was using as a lea d for Mouse. Gaffer blamed it on the cross-country teacher (Ed. And\, as i t transpired\, so did the cross-country teacher!).\n\nVery early on\, Oui- Oui &\; Yeuck were seen coming out of bushes. Perhaps Oui-Oui was mis-n amed? Or maybe these are just athletes trying to lighten the load to run faster?\n\nNot sure which part of the trail involved bats\, but apparently Thing had one fly into her face. Meanwhile big bro'\, Pugsley\, helped S haggy over the wire - who promptly zoomed off [Ed. *ashamed*. Vain attemp ts to atone for such brazen selfishness by holding open assorted gates we re\, of course\, too little too late!]. Various others\, including TB &a mp\; Boaty\, got nothing more than abuse from harriets for helping them over the wire\; where are the ladies in the hash?!? (Ed. ahead... 😁)\n \nThere were strange goings-on at the front of the pack\, with light-heade d lycra boys blaming Can't Come for using all of the oxygen by breathing heavily (Ed. those FRBs are a sensitive bunch -  the merest fluctuation in atmospheric composition can have a quite devastating effect\, don't yo u know?). Boaty had his own problems breathing after a vicious elbow in the chest from Rizzo – not sure what the offence was?\n\nCould have be en a couple of ‘domestics’: Yeuck\, holding the gate for the entire hash\, then got tired and let it slam shut on Gaffer\; Skye\, having for gotten her head torch\, was running round in circles in the dark whilst he r other half\, Francis\, caringly suggesting ‘just leave her there’ ( Ed. sometimes it's the kindest way...).\n\nTowards the end\, there was a c heeky check-back\, spotted by the ever vigilant Overshot.\n\nYeuck came into the pub and\, seeing the chicken on the wall\, said\, "There's a nice cock" - and "She should know\," said Gaffer!! (Ed. compulsory reply  😉)\n\nGary presided as Religious Advisor\, starting by reminding the g athering that today was National Ferret Day and National Peanut Butter &am p\; Jelly Day (wonder if the two are connected: use one to lure back stray ing ferrets?). Bit of a problem with small writing on her phone notes\, lo w lighting in the pub\, short (like everything else) arms\, but Gary res isted the offer of longer arms (Ed. ever-gracious)\, re-found her place in the notes and bounded on to the usual verbal abuse of hashers for their m isdemeanours (Ed. yes\, masterfully done\, and from atop a not-overly-secu re-looking chair: kudos\, Gary!). This included Lowtarse\, who\, for so me strange reason\, only had one sock on.
