Run 577, Wednesday 31 January
Chêne-Bougeries
Hare: Tightarse
Weather: Brass monkeys with black ice everywhere
Suprisingly, about 30 people set off for the "born again Tightarse" run even though it was bloody cold.
Only six were lost:
- Likk'mm: who turned up at the station but got on the wrong train and ended up on a Bern hash*;
- Sarah cum Lately and Jenny No Name: who got lost, were found again and immediately got lost again;
- Fleche Pot: who apparently set off and never found the trail;
- Tintin: who was seen by the hare just after he (the hare) had finished remarking the in trail with arrows and then (Tintin) disappeared for an hour in the grounds of the psychiatric hospital;
and
- The hare: when he tried to set the trail backwards in the grounds of the mental hospital.
* Likk'mm denies this version of events strenuously.
In the opinion of the hare, the run was long only because it took most of the pack about 20 minutes to cross the main road at the start and then they proceeded to run round a building for a further 10 minutes rather than look for the trail, which was clearly marked with an arrow.
Escalade child abuser Sex in the City was seen to smile (or was it wince) both during and after the run.
Wellington was spotted in front at one stage and on trail.
A very sensible dog refused to set off on the trail and it took at least ten minutes to persuade it to pass the first blobs.
The downside, in the opinion of the hare, was that:
- nobody fell;
- one or two people told him that they enjoyed the run, which upset him (though he didn't recognise them and it should be recalled that the trail went through the psychiatric hospital);
- the correct number of people turned up at the onon (to be served by a lapdancer and a weather girl), though on the positive side, they bore almost no relationship to the people who had said that they were going at the start; and
- the food was OK.
