Advice from the hare:
NO NEED TO BOOK. Plenty space for TAKEAWAY PINTS outside . FAST SERVICE FROM THE BAR. NO APPS needed!!! And we can all happily MILL AROUND TOGETHER OUTSIDE THE FRONT OF THE PUB, without being sat at indoor tables waiting forever to get served. There are outdoor benches out the front, slightly sheltered. But feel free to book a table if you want (they have a few and the food is excellent).
NB it is NOT the rose and crown, it’s the Rose.
Also the Horseshoe Inn is right there, which is a hash favourite and can be booked by email. info@thehorseshoeinnpub.co.uk

Hare – Dunny Penny

Registration is required for all participants in West London runs during the current pandemic. If you plan to come on this run please register ASAP by using This Link.

The trail will start from Teddington Lock, near The Anglers pub, Map Link and there will be a trail of chalk P arrows from Teddington station to guide you to the start point. Start on trail any time after 18.30 hours, the faster you run the later you should start. The trail will be 9 km long with shortcuts. Duration: 50 – 60 mins for runners and about the same for SCBs. There will be a drink stop on trail which will be open from 19:20 hours. The Hare has booked a large number of tables for us in the garden of the Anglers from 20:00 hours, this will be about 5 mins walk from the drink drink stop. Entry to the pub will be via top secret password to be revealed in confidence at the drink stop. 

Tips from the Hare: The trail uses a small area, and is will be very tightly marked to take us through some great terrain. There will be few checks to keep you on the best bits of the area. FOLLOW THE TRAIL MARKINGS – especially important in the first 5km / 30 minutes, if you try to be clever and/or use local knowledge to jump across to runners you see in the distance you will not only miss out on some lovely territory but could end up getting very confused and running round in ever decreasing circle until you disappear up your own bum.

 The drink stop is not the main event, please support our local hospitality industry by attending the pub after the run. The Hare may need to adjust our booking according to how many register, so please register ASAP using the above link, we have re-introduced the field on the registration form to indicate whether or not you plan to come to the pub after the run, please use this.

The Hare will be available on the WLH3 runners on trail Whatsapp group from 18:30 to 20:30 to help out the challenged.

The Brewery Market web site in Church Street map link sells craft beers, both canned and on tap, to take away and these can be consumed on the riverside opposite the Barmy Arms where there is plenty of public seating.

This week’s run will start from the entrance to Hounslow Heath on Staines Road, Hounslow, TW4 5AR, opposite Barrack Road and The Hussar Public House, see this Map Link. This is around twenty minutes walk from Hounslow West Tube, but there will not be a P trail from the tube to to the start of the run. Several buses pass the start, and there is a free car park there. Our anti-Covid protocols will apply; staggered start and no bag drop, run with what you bring. Start from 18:30 for walkers and 18:45 to 19:00 for runners, the trail will be about 9.5 km mostly off road. The Hare strongly advises to “run” with at least one other person, and of course less than six others and to bring a torch. Checks should be fairly easy, trail will restart within about 50m of the check. If you start after 18:50 please kick checks through for walkers and latecomers. It will be dark at around 20:30, and it would be a good idea to finish by then (but bring a torch anyway), and of course the drink stop may be exhausted soon after this! There are several places to “squeeze” through on trail, only one is likely to be a real challenge (for some?). If you can’t get through, follow the path beside the fence north east about 200m until you can loop back on the other side. There isn’t a pub, so there will be a drinks stop (with shelter if wet) which will “open” at 20:00, generously funded by WLH3. Its W3W location will be posted then on the WLH3 WhatsApp group at 20:00, if the Hare remembers to do so. After party? The nearby Hussar (“Indian Bar”) may be open, and there are a couple of corner shop type off licences for supplies to drink al fresco. Feel free to suggest a pub on the Whatsapp group, if you can find one open near the end of the run, which the Hare advises, will be near to the start.

Please register Tuesday 13 April, using the above link, as the Hare will be beer shopping on the Wednesday.
