What happened in 1997?

Well, Britain handed back Hong Kong to the Chinese, Tony Blair became Prime Minister and Princess Di was killed in a car crash....

No, no! Not that 1997! Run 1997! Nothing special - just an average run: where we were ordered to vacate the run site by an irate owner threatening to call the police but then found a much better run site; where the anticipated influx from HH3 didn't really happen but where we were mighty grateful to those who did turn out in the rain to support the woefully inadequate turn out from SH3 regulars; where the long run (green-red-green above) went up the hill by the most direct route - over rocks and through thorn bushes causing the normally unflappable Buk Toy to opt for the short run (in green above); where Yardo saved the day by waiting for two HH3 runners who would otherwise have been left up the hill in the dark, and where the hares were eventually forgiven for all the pain by finding a lovely way down the hill which will no doubt feature in future runs in this neck of the woods when someone else is brave enough to try to set a run there. But all's well and all that sort of stuff. Back at the new improved runsite there was a mountain of food which Only a Yolk had just  whipped up after coming home from the HH3 outstation and the damp conditions, late finish and absence of a GM caused the circle to be cancelled which meant that due praise and scorn in equal measures were not handed out to the hares, Stick Insect and All Black for an eventful and ultimately highly enjoyable run.
