Run 1474 - The Déjà vu Meena harbour run

Hares: ‘Ooz ‘Ee, Bigears, Maurice
On Back: At Meena harbour car park on the dry side of the breakwater

Run:
Well where do I start this week? The usual miserable lot of about 40 sinners including a few virgins, in a strangely familiar car park at the end of Meena road in the Ramadan evening twilight. All had some really weird feeling we had all been there before????
The Hares, had been to a lot of trouble with chalk and flour and proceeded to give directions on Hash arrows, their new variations on splits, check backs and finally. So off we set through the steep hills surrounding the harbour side car park one and all running and bimbling. The first 10 minutes of the run saw runners and bimblers alike meandering backwards and forwards like emus chasing crippled grasshoppers.
Finally, someone found a real trail (or a poor excuse for one) and the runners broke away, only to be seen again emerging through the gloom of the warehouses to briefly abuse the bimblers and vice versa
As is the wont the runners disappeared off into the distance and the Bimblers enjoyed the scenery and peace and quiet of the Ifta part of the evening. Feedback from the runners ranged from great to galling so who knows what the run was really like.
The remainder of Bimblers used the walk to exercise their jaws, watch the runners on false trails and the workers having their Ifta feed around the warehouses.

Run score
Comments from the assembled multitude were "rubbish –4, best run ever 15/10, bad flour -3, too much sand -2 (in Abu Dhabi surely not!), too many chapattis +1, Bollocks -1, too many people were lost with the Hares -1, and a few more unprintable comments" and the final average was 9.31. An excellent score!
