Run Reports to 11 December 2012

1490	Dingaling @ Coronation Hall	13.11.12
Ding a Ling need not worry as a healthy crowd was starting to gather for his run from Coronation Hall, Surbiton. The start of the run looked promising with lots of interesting alleyways and off road routes into Kingston. Some of the checks were so minute they looked like the mint with the hole. A rather soggy route via Kingston Art College and a loop into Fairfield. Wasser suspected half the route looked very familiar indeed - a stolen trail perhaps. A few laps around Kingston and a zig zag return route - onon to thick cut chips and some fine ale. Not bad for Ding a Ling special and a nice change to two laps around Bushy Park

1491	Worzel @ The Cricketers	20.11.12
Excellent winter fayre laid on by Worzel and Calamity for our eager runners tonight. Strong wet blustery conditions don’t faze Weybridge Hashers! We roared off into the distance, chattering a go go. Nice to have back with us tonight, Belinda, our local lady great to see you, and also Charlotte, who has been a bit busy, and Tuesdays were off limits, back to super speedy again! Did you know of The Crouch Oak tree in Addlestone, which dates back over 1,000 years, and once marked the boundary of Windsor Forest, a healthy piece of giant timber for you to spot near the roadside. Our journey tonight took us all round every footpath in Row Town and nearby Ottershaw, some very nice bits of woodland whose names I cannot find, Brox Copse being the only one I can. Addlestone means ‘The valley belonging to Attel’, many moons ago of course. We sheltered up in the pub afterwards, a welcome bonus for all to enjoy. Nice pub too!

1492	Ard’on Provocateur @ The Woodman	27.11.12
Well, where do we start with this one! Ashtead Common seems an ideal location for a Hash but the rains chose to wreck our Hare’s grand ambitions. We all made it into the middle of the Common, then slushing around in the mud, most of us were unable to find any flour to guide us out! Five intrepid souls, Pig Pen, Great Bear, Alan, Mark & Sausage did manage to get up the hill and reach the Promised Land where they were plied with mulled wine and mince pies, for their troubles! The rest of our pack, skidded around, checking every path, finally managing to find a way back to the pub, and Mary fell over again in the mud. Visitors tonight were Drain Oil, delighted to see you, cheers! and also a new Hasher Alan, who hopes to come back and see us, when the waters recede. Tent Tester Sarah returned, nice to see you as always, as did Sunshine Belinda. Back in the pub, much map checking was done, but the cause had already been lost. Very kind of you Ard’on Provacateur, to lay on wine and pies, thankyou very much.

1493	Tight Git @ The Eight Bells	4.12.12
Our Hare Tight Git gave us an ideal Suburban Winter Hash tonight, lots of flour, easy to follow, and fun to do. The chill in the air kept us honest, and even encouraged us to stretch our legs a bit! We tried, but we could not find Santa’s Grotto anywhere en route, but we were rewarded for coming out to run with Louise’s delicious warm mince pies and hot mulled wine, yummee !! Yaba daba doo! Lots of happy people tonight, Tracy back with us, always good, Sarah as well plus Terminator Gill from Surrey Hash, and Clever Trevor too. Wazzer, Tosser, Simon, George, Molesey Matt and the fast paced Pig Pen rocking along. Even Drain Oil, fresh from jetting around the World was here again. We are getting excited now, t’is our 1500thrun next month, so make sure You are on it, 22 January, plus the Barn Dance & Dinner on 26 January.. Buy your Tickets NOW….will be a blast !! See you there!

1494	Tracy & George @ The Star	11.12.12
A wintery and foggy landscape welcomed us all, as we turned up for this festive run in the snow. Thank goodness, quite a lot of runners too! All of St John’s and also Hook Heath were included, plus Woking Golf Club boundaries. We lost Pig Pen on the run, but he found himself ! Belinda continues her supreme fitness regime. Go girl! Mary, Molesey Matt & Kung Foo Panda were romping along & George & Simon. We got lost near the Wey navigation canal, but it was fun. Our extremities were under pressure with hands and feet pretty cold, well it was minus 2. We lost no one in the fog, even though some short cutted, tut tut, but all were well and what a treat we had near the on in. Tracy laid on, delicious hot pizza slices, meat and spicy, to warm our stomachs ….plus, chocolate cake for afters….mmm….Thank you! Then we took over the local pub, which was a bit quiet before we arrived. Our evening was complete, even Mismanagement had a meeting.
