Or Have a ROTT(en) weekend with Bedsores
September 18th- 20th 2009
F.A.Q.

    Q. What is an F.A.Q.
    A. It should be a Frequently Asked Question, but sometimes we anticipate.

    Q. Has this been done before.
    A. Yes, we started in 1992 and followed every 2 years until thwarted by a fuel strike then foot and mouth. This will be the fourth. The original fourth ROTT had to be postponed due to a fuel strike in 2000 then again due to Foot and Mouth. Previous ROTT trails have been on the North York Moors, Derbyshire and Shropshire.
   
    Q. What is ROTT?.
    A. A slightly  or 'Really' Over The Top A to B to C to D hash trail (i.e. it meanders for15-25 miles) run over a weekend. You will be told where A ( a good Pub) is and need to get there on Friday Evening. Accommodation is  basic camping, and there are Catering and Logistic backup teams, so you do not need food or backpacks. To find out where B,C and D are you must be on the run.

    Q. Do I need to be Fit?
    A. Reasonably. This is a Hash NOT an Iron Man contest  As with all Hashes we have walkers and athletes. The Hares pride themselves on being able to keep a pack together even over this distance, with a wide range of abilities. We do have a logistics team if anyone gets into trouble.

    Q. How is the trail laid?
    A. Just like a normal CH3 run, complete with Checks, false trails, turn backs, Check backs and even short cuts, allowing you to thoroughly explore the country side while others catch up.

    Q. How far is point A from Cambridge?.
    A. you should be able to drive there after work on Friday

    Q. Can I get a lift?
    A. We intend to run a Mini Bus from Cambridge.

    Q. How much does it cost?.
    A. We don't know. When you Register we ask for a £20.00 deposit , (but you do need to Register first). After the event we add all the costs and divide by participants. Support crew do not pay the deposit , The Camping is basic so low cost, but you will need money to pay for beer and food in the pubs in the evenings.

    Q. I paid my deposit for the fourth ROTT, what happened to it?
    A. The Bank have replaced the old notes with current ones. You now have a place on the new one and only need to give me a Tenner, or I will refund your money on request.

    Q. I am not sure if I paid a deposit, how can I check?.
    A. Check Who's Cumming

From an Idea conceived while walking the Cleveland Way, Goldfinger and Bedsores came up with the concept of ROTT.
Mission
Statement :- To lay an A to B to C to D run in beautiful country. The Pack needs to be at point A on Friday Evening, complete with camping gear. A catering team will get you breakfast on Saturday (& Sunday)morning, after which you will follow a traditional CH3 trail, until point B where you will get lunch (yes of course that includes beer). After lunch you continue on the trail to point C where the logistics team will be waiting with your gear. After an evening in the pub, there will be a live hare run on the Sunday morning, followed by more beer. You then return home on Sunday Evening.
