Well lets start by being honest! A few of you were aware I spent the whole of last weekend getting poor fools married and so therefore, missed both the run and one of the better piss up's of the year or so I was told.When Helen casually mentioned the number of beautifully roasted pigs that had to be eaten, it brought tears to my eyes. Not for the piglets but for myself, who missed this lavish feast. Anyhow enough of my sorrows. The run as described from the back of the pack by the supposed Co-hear of the previous week was as follows:
The run started on time although, as the scribe decided she needed a bit of a head start on the pack for the short run and so set off in advance ( like 15 minutes in advance !! ). This being the case she did not actually see any of the happenings at the run site until the pack actually arrived at the first check, where it seems she had parked herself .She claimed she did not try to break the check as she did not wish to spoil the enjoyment of the other hounds, for me I am still trying to remember the last time I saw Helen actively attempting to break a check ( I guess I will be banished to live on our balcony for the rest of the year ) for these remarks.The first check turned out to be a circular broken forward and left in oil palm, the second check was by a small creek with the paper on the far side and up, after this yet anther circular check. I must say Uncle Robin since last week seems to have taken a big liking to circular checks. The paper went forward, past some open ground and a housing estate. Check four had a bunch of possible options and was broken in reasonable time. The paper went on up a latterite road to check 5 and eventually joined up with the long run paper which lead both runs home for about 2 km down a nice road to the run site.
The party as described by my other unofficial scribe, the Balloon man from China, who it seems works with me is as follows:
I quote "It had all the ingredients of a great night. The food was good and there was plenty of it.There was heaps of beer and it was well chilled, the music was good, the shows where fun." As for his performance with the balloons, well it must have been a great night as he looked like shit the next day. The party seems to have concluded around 4am and he thinks he left around 3am with a memory of a young Harriet's breasts still on what was left of his mind the next day.
All in all a great event. Every comment was a good one and knowing how much work goes into an event of this proportion, I would like to say a big thanks to everyone that was involved in making the event the tremendous success that it was.
ON ON to Run Number 2,000
