Run 866-Alhaurin Run

Sunday 30th May 2005

Hares: Spittoon & Trolly Dolly

MISSING signs - not an unusual thing on Mijas H3 - resulted in several overshootings" of the runsite and the first complaints on this weather changing afternoon.

THE RUN

At 1600 hours the hashmaster took his horn out - everybody else put theirs away! The motley crowd of 38 or so incl a couple of virgins were called to order and Spittoon gave run directions whereafter the pack was sent off in direction of the Coin rd. The paper went left before the tarmac and on right up a long hill where the first checkaround was spotted. Whilst Limp Toed Sloth waster time taking the righthand fork, RubHerTurd followed paper left and very cleverly continued right at the next check locating paper at the bottom of the hill. Shorttime later another check and other frontrunners had time to catch up, paper was found and the run continued into the woods until finally at a very smartcheck with 3 obvious choices, Limp Toed Sloth somehow picked up the right trail , crossed the tarmac and arrived first at the beer stop.

The trotters, walkers, strollers and limpers arrived over the next 20 minutes.The 2nd part of the run was surprisingly good, eventhough hashers with brains got to know we were heading for the castle. A long left loop however, managed to slow the frontrunners down and made this part almost as long as the first. First runners in around 1720.
