6 virgins swelled our numbers at the Greyhound despite threatened structurally damaging gales, perhaps we should have guessed by the hares' mumbled "It's a bit long" at the start of their instructions, for some reason we just laughed and set off unaware of what lay ahead of us.

Three hours later (yes you read correctly) we returned to the bucket.  First prize to Pick Me up and Pole Dancer for the longest run in LVH3 history, we had various dropouts as hashers wimped out (Cum Yak Yak, Piggy-dough and Lucy can be forgiven - but Who's my Mum and ex GM Hashdrunk?!!) along the route which took us virtually to Carnforth and then on the way to Kirkby Lonsdale before turning hesitantly back to the Lune.

A guided tour of the asphalt miles of Halton took us eventually up to Addington Lane for the beerstop, then the rambos and wimps parted company.  Apparently the rambos were pleased to feel the green green grass of fields beneath their feet but soon began to long for a road heading them homeward.

The wimps meanwhile, after checking up on the Ground Force garden at Aughton became intimately acquainted with the entire circumference of a certain field - down, along and up again, incidentally Virgin Tim proved his eyesight at spotting distant flour - to be met by Pick Me Up - not looking very apologetic!

Eventually we were on the familiar territory of Halton Park and so on to the pathway by a raging river, we were caught up by rambos - Virgin Steve, Annette and P-dough. Atomic Caton was a leading wimp and like Steve left before the circle - a down down for this sin will no doubt be forthcoming

Back at last in the carpark the circle was called to order by new GM No More Cum who awarded down downs to the Hares and virgins - Steve, Lucy, Tim, Liz, Richard and Bob(?) - We hope we haven't frightened you off!

Bubbles stood in as RA and continued:

• Pdough, Piggydough, Lucy and Forever Blowing were punished for wearing offensive coloured clothing
• Hashdrunk no end of times for heckling both the GM and RA, not rubbing out a false check - along with Morticia who threw her down down over husband Lurch 
• Extra long cocktail for Pick Me Up and Pole Dancer for an extra long run
• No More Cum as Osama bin Daddy - absent father - again! And looking like a terrorist 
• Baptism time!  Annette was welcomed to our fold with the name of Fishnets
