Y
        ou can’t let a little
        milestone like your
        2500th run go past
        unacknowledged
in some way. The London
Hash was very lucky that
20th-22nd September 2019
was a glorious late summery
weekend - perfect for three
days of festivities.
The weekend consisted
of a Friday pub crawl, full
day on Saturday with our
Trains, Planes and Boats
run,and a hangover run on
Sunday. Huge amounts of
planning and coordination.
Many thanks to the LH3
Mismanagement, Catch
the Hare and anyone else
involved.

The first check is at the cross roads — we cross the road and
a second check sends us to Laura’s Gate and into Bushy
Park, home of red
deer and fallow deer. On into the park.
Four or five small dogs were chasing up and down, yapping
excitedly. The deer sit unconcerned in the long grass
ruminating contentedly.
In winter, the deer are partial to nibbling the bark of the
trees so carpenters have fixed planks of wood round the
trunks.
Through a metal gate, we are in the water garden.
Through another metal gate and we are out of the water

A short way on and Bhopal has another falsey:

           On to the valley of Death

Down the underpass—it’s another false trail.
We’re on a trail of false trails.
Brown Nose, architect of the early false trail in
Highgate, had influenced Bhopal’s thinking!
Black Hole comments on the logic of the false

A check in an underpass, a few more false trails

We are soon heading towards the Thames.
There’s a left pointing arrow and Not Out looks
puzzled: “Why has Optimist gone straight on?”
He shouts, “Hey, the arrow’s here”, but Optimist
shouts back “Its a false trail”.
—How does he know? He’s not been down it.
Further on another arrow points round to the
left— but the arrow points the wrong way!
That’s it, we’ve hit the Out Trail! All Hail to
