Run 1488
THE “5 NIL ASHES WHIEWASH” RUN


Monday 11th January 2007
Hares: Brick Sh**house (Chris) and Miss Doodat (Elbie)
On Back: Chez Brick Sh**house & Miss Doodat

The Run
About 30 brave souls braved the darkness and set off from the carpark near the nearly new Intercontinental hotel
There were lots of clear chalk marks, lots of long false trails which even had the knitting circle in tow on several occasions until they became immediately lost and easy to find check back marks (well there were a lot of them) no crossing of any major roads, almost no soft sand, and only a few difficulties finding the arrows as the light began to fail (five minutes after we started). Cold wind, sudden edge drop offs, cocktail parties and Embassy villas

The Run – Verdict
No arrows – “good ‘cos we can just go for a run” +5; Chalk +2: Soft sand +5: Too much ocean: -4; Length just right 10: Too many Dhows and smelly fish -5: arrows 15/10; soft sand -3; it was too long; not enough mingling with the bimblers; too much ocean; bimblers got lost -6; too much chalk & flour; more whinging, moaning and grumbling for an excellent score of 9.5
