Run 1481
THE “GETTING HIGH” RUN


Monday 20th November
Hares: Sheila, Wendy and Ralph
On Back: the lofty heights of the Canadian consul - God Bless Canada
The run 43 brave souls braved the lofty heights and straggled up to the 9th floor to assemble and set off on the trail. It was a bonus being so high as we had altitude training for the run and lots of expert runners reckoned they would run better (than what??) on a run which was above the usual standard for an AUH4 run!
Hares Sheila, Wendy & Ralph set us off on a long awaited TRAIL instead of one of those ROWTs that we have had. With clear instructions that we must follow 3 arrows and most of them were at eye level – right! really easy to see whilst dodging taxis and pedestrians in the dark.
Immediately several DORII were confused and said they were going shopping There were lots of clear chalk marks, lots of long false trails which even had the knitting circle in tow on several occasions, 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…)

The Run – Verdict The 3rd worst run ever -4; Lovely underpasses 10;danger 15; arrows 15/10; soft sand -3; it was too long; not enough mingling with the bimblers; too much altitude; too much chalk & flour; more whinging, moaning and grumbling for an excellent score of 9.31
