I’m preparing my red dress getting ready for this afternoon. We will run (walk, amble, crawl) and have a lot of fun all the while collecting money for a good cause (the charity picked this time is breast cancer research).

Excellent. It’s thanks to you that so many women – my daughter included – have lived to tell the tale.

Thank you. Luckily, she’s as healthy as the next woman now – and would willingly join you on your runs 😉

There are Red Dress Runs all over the world. I have friends in Newcastle HHH and London HHH (there are several Hash House Harrier chapters in London). The Red Dress Runs themselves have an interesting history, it’s explained on the Hash House Harriers site in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_House_Harriers

This sounds fun. I’ve read the Wikipedia article now and will aim to find out more (not for me you understand – just Daughter Number One).

So a slow walk then, perhaps a stroll, picking up the pace as the next beer tent appears I gather 😁

Ahhh … but we are experts, Brian. We can RUN with beer in our hands, we are properly kitted out, too 😁

Not beer helmets too 🙂

Helmets no. Umbrellas would have been good, though.

Hope you didn’t get sun burnt or drenched?

Drenched. Twice. I’m not complaining but I was sitting for over an hour in a train with a very very wet t-shirt which I had pulled over the dress.

That sounds miserable. I bet you had plenty of room around you too

Not really. I was sharing the carriage with a lot of very happy football fans (some of them equally wet) going home after a friendly.

It was an amble as it turns out. And although there was only a little light shower forecast I got drenched twice (no complaints, the plants were grateful). But we had lots of fun, we saw quite a few people we hadn’t seen since the pandemic. And we collected a lot of money. Numbers not yet sure as we had sealed donation boxes and we will know when the organisation has counted the money! 💃🏽

We hit three Irish Pubs. So – yes. Although in the last one I had to educate the guy behind the bar what Black Velvet was. I’m glad I took the train und could partake. I had more than our youngest hasher there (not quite five yet) and less than most others. I’m a gourmet not a gourmand when it comes to beer.
