The Hard Core of Lune Valley Hash Gathered together for the usual Sunday morning ritual of punishment, abuse and sacrifice (well, thats sometimes what it feels like after a Saturday night). We were lectured about the new markings for diagonal checks (the route was diagonally opposite the arrow direction), a bit confusing but we all managed to find the trail.

The Hares had managed to organise nice weather for the run and after it was decided that that no one else was going to turn up we thought about running. Anyway, off we all ran at great speed over hill and dale until we came to the first wimps/rambos split which I must have missed because I ended up on the rambo route after negotiating a raging river. I was so exhilarated by the first rambo split  that when I came to the second split I took the Rambo option again!

But, I'm getting ahead of myself - I missed out the beer check where wimps & rambos were united. At this point the RA got his knob out and suggested that it would be a good idea if during the circle Hashers rubbed it with sandpaper.

One notable feature of the trail was the very large blobs of flour apparently laid down by Cum Yak Yak (her first Haring experience).

The last stretch of the run actually required some running from us rambos - you would think that this is some sort of running club - along the canal path back towards the On - Inn.

The circle was held in pub car park where Hares were rewarded for a Run which everyone enjoyed, in fact Forever Blowing was so enamoured by the last part of the run that she decided to do it twice (once forward's and once backwards).

Other Down Down's went to:

• GM - For wearing a stinky old Shirt two days running
• Bubbles - For being a snitch
• Lurch - For missing out part of the Rambo split

(Luckily for No More Cum's knob no one had any sandpaper.)
