The 163rd run was on March 5th

Before the run Old Fart was renamed Lord of the Farts after his recent visit to the palace. Hopefully he will have got the flour out of his ear by the next run.
It was a longish hash with the first ten miles into a bitter headwind being the worst.

The virgin hares, BJ and Well Mounted cleverly put a loop in the beginning for the runners. This would have worked well if the front runners had not spotted the walkers and of course followed them. The last runners ,like Kingfisher did not have this advantage and so got even laster.
An abandoned lamb delayed some of the walkers as they tried to find a farmer. They had not apparently heard of survival of the fittest or lamb curry.

17 fields and 5 spots of sawdust later all arrived in dribs and drabs at a warm and sheltered beer stop.
The trail continued through Hooe Churchyard, this being famous for having 5 rights of way going through it. The runners struck lucky and soon overtook the shortcutting walkers.

At the down-downs the RA dealt with the Fairlight Hares and cited Bushsquatter for being best in pyjamas and about the only one dressed up for Valentines.
Miscreants from the present hash were Elise for being last,(she was injured), Playaway for being late and Sexist for his knobbly knees.
Dave was named Rammed Up for his interaction with a sheep, but it wasn't until it was too late that Hey Ewe was suggested.
