The U.K. Nash Hash 28/08 – 31/08/08. Organised by Edinburgh HHH, Details here. Marathon Bhutan, 7th September 2008 Details here. A follow on from the previous run report...... Thank you, Dirty Dingus, for your excellent run report following Farty Bum and Virgin Mouth's superb stroll in the rain. All together now.... "doobee do do, ba be doo be do do, I'm singin in the rain I'm sin etc etc." However, I did notice you forgot to mention the little hiccup regarding a small difficulty finding a section of the trail. So, in the interest of accuracy, I have in my possession a copy of the official events as they may or may not have happened. Therefore with appologies to the Hares, (who I think did a superb job and do not need to ingratiate themselves with a bunch of ungrateful, blinkered, runners too tired to be bothered to find the real trail) this is as it should have been. "I've been thinking about the trail through the village and I think this is what went wrong. I started making the trail down that side street, thinking it was heading for a staircase, and then I noticed there was the market ahead, and realized I was on the wrong street, so turned back. I didn't put an X because it wasn't meant to be a false trail. I just rubbed out the first blob of flour and made several obvious ones continuing straight ahead, back on the main street. As you said, the runners will keep going in the same direction unless there's a reason to turn. But Lynne kept asking if we should make a check. At first I said no, because it was right beside the police station, but after awhile I said, oh, what the heck -- if you want to make a check, go ahead. So she went back and made a check, and a false trail going back towards the bridge. Of course, once the check was there, you guys would be looking around, and that's how you ended up on my abandoned trail with no X. The correct trail continued straight ahead and then turned down that staircase I showed you, and then went up another staircase. At the top step of this staircase I made a check. I told Lynne we wouldn't make a false trail (as I worry about attracting too much attention in the village), but that the runners would just have to find the trail. There were two staircases near this check -- one to the right, easy to see, and another one to the left, not obvious at all. Of course we made the trail up the less obvious staircase. But I think all the runners just ran up the obvious staircase, even though there was no flour on it, because they assumed that the trail would lead to the church, as usual. But we didn't take the trail near the church at all, we kept it to the left side of the village and then went round by the bottom, at the back of the hill. Jobsworth told me all the runners went to the church and then just ran around until they saw flour again, going down the steps below the overpass. Well anyway, the trail through the village was just to give the walkers time to get a head start into the woods. But you should have been able to find that hidden staircase to the left. Both staircases were within two meters of the staircase with the check." On On |
