Hashers were invited by DitW to dress up with ribbons for Run 737 as it fell on May Day. The run started from Bradford Farm and DitW would be providing food and drinks, resulting in a good turnout. In the farmyard it was clear that the usual culprits had not made the effort, however they were thoughtfully rescued by P2L’s assortment of ribbons. At least that spared the idea of having to run with one’s frilly knickers showing.
DitW unleashed the pack: 2 & ON, early regroup to show us a point of interest, and then watch out for the sheep in the field near the end. Off we went between the blackcurrant bushes.
The pack was lead by M Bongo to the first regroup where DitW announced that we were to invade the garden of Lift Cottage. The owner was away but aware of our visit. What would he have made of frilly knickers and ribbons and bows wandering around the cottage garden look for the remnants of the canal lift? Grasshopper identified parts of an old cider press in an open shed, several of the car nuts inspected the rusty remains of a Ford Anglia, and then Grasshopper pulled off the save of the evening grabbing at JB as she was about to fall into the deepest part of the canal.. Once recovered the pack set off again, got spread out, called impromptu regroup, and later had sweeties at the refreshment regroup, before the on in.
At Bradford Farm, DitW had laid on curry and all the trimmings, quiches and drinks followed by desserts – a veritable feast. Dormouse thoughtfully presented her with a card. Happy Birthday DitW and thanks for organising The Hash with the Extras.
