Run 1391 - DT's Stokes Valley Summer run

A healthy turn-out for what must have been virgin territory for many of us. Having not consulted with Townplanner - virgin authenticator extraordinaire - it is sufficient to say this neck of the woods had not been defiled by WH3 in a long time.

With DT proclaiming something about "not long" and "all streets" the pack were of out along Tanehaka Street towards the main drag. On left and up the valley to the first check which had the hounds floundering for a long time. Sub-packs were splitting off in all directions. Sproggy was taking it a bit easier - escorting a pleasure module who he'd invited in violation of several commandments no doubt - Portaloo or Poohole or Porthole or Port-in-a-storm - from Mt Maunganui H3 (hosts of upkumming NashHash 2003).

Someone with lateral vision (might have been Biggles) eventually spotted the trail on-back into a small park heading to a bunch more streets South of the valley. A check in the vicinity of Delaney street held things up until Bubbles headed for the gloom to find trail heading into the bush.

Pack was back together for a lengthy foray in the forest - good track tho' and clear night, even PussyPuppy without a torch could find his way. Emerged in suburbia someplace - couldn't tell you where - but it was someplace above the shopping area. A cunningly placed false trail down towards the town served to bring the hounds together again, tho' everyone ignored Tripod who rediscovered the false trail and called it insistently. The penny dropped eventually.

Back into the valley, through some alleyway into a culvert to emerge opposite a pub (which DT subsequently insisted was shut). This was where River Rat managed to take a nasty looking amount of skin off his shin. Ouch! That would have to be injury of the year so far.

Apparently there was more running to be done in the lowlands. But no trail was found at first attempt - time on the hour and the direction home obvious to a blind bastard - it was On-Inn as far as the remaining pack was concerned. Peeler was insisting that we hadn't done the trail, but the scribe doesn't recall seeing Peeler up on the heights earlier on!

On-On:

On-back to DT's Dad's garage. The absence of Modess Joe was soon apparent, but the baby BBQ did the job.

Honours were dished out - SirLoin to Rangoon Flier for his gallantry in marking out significant puddles so the Ayatollah's feet remained dry.

A couple of returnees - not least River Rat. And Nob Roy was stitched up deservedly for escaping the kunt run of the year award at the AGPU.

Porthole is going to have to practise a bit if she is to join the Mt Maunganui Sheilahs' boat race team. DT's progenitor, Jim, was stitched up for whatever crime - the existence of DT is sufficient. Numbnuts 'cos Sproggy still hasn't got over him dating Sproggy's flatmate - apparently.

And the PoW went to Dogfish for failing to recognise PussyPuppy by his given Kennel name at a recent Bridal Show. Apparently the fact that Dogfish was courting a young couple for a $1000 wedding function was lost on Pussy Puppy, who should know better than to invoke scorn upon the Head Monk.

A couple of very late returnees - witnessed only by the hosts and last leavers - Oggy who forgot Bridie the dog - and Hood who is still adjusting to his new role as Biermeister - for the chilly bin.
