The Wolf Moon Run
Hares: V.V., Two Time, Hairy Crack, Suphaphan Jinlanon
The first full moon of 2025 - known as the Wolf Moon - brightened the night sky alongside Mars on Monday 13 January.
Skygazers were treated to a spectacular show as the planets appeared to be close together in the night sky, an event known as a conjunction.
Why is it called the Wolf Moon?
Full Moons are given names that reflect what is happening in nature during the different months of the year.
The Old Farmer's Almanac publication began printing full Moon names back in the 1930s.
January's full Moon apparently became known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be active at this time of year, so their howling could be heard more often in January.
It is sometimes also called the Ice Moon or Old Moon.
There's been a bit of a wolf theme going on for me this week, so perhaps gazing up at the wolf moon was apt - it was a perfect sky to enjoy the celestial spectacle.
Meanwhile back on Earth the excellent trail was well received despite VV getting our feet wet and then a dusty scramble up a steep slope to start the run!
Dirt Looney's Circle Notes have become even more detailed and it certainly helps with trying to remember what actually happened after an OnOnOn long into the next day!
Herring Choker asked me to note that Seal Sucker won the race by cheating on the last back check but no bucket for SS this week.
My friend Grease Gorilla from Chiang Mai enjoyed the trail on his first PH3 and kept up with the front runners while I could only manage the walk.
Black Panther did a great job as Raffle Princess - all tickets should start with 6!
PH3 hopes Emperor Airhead recovers from his back injury soon and he was unable to entertain us today.
Scar with 2 T's in fine form calls in the 7 virgins and welcomes them. As most of them are young - we hope they'll be back to have a long relationship with PH3.
Boring Wanker in for covering Black Panther's butt from the lustful attentions of those running up hill behind her.
With Torsten named Hopeless Boring Cunt, in future BW will have a buddy to join him on the ice/bucket.
Lady Squeeze my Tube in for her clever multitasking skills.
Ferret H3 punch was too much for BB and General Kidney Wiper -- and most of the rest of us too -- but these 2 were the stand out pissheads.
Milky Piss takes the Circle and gives us the factoid that over the last 41 years - PH3 has sold enough t-shirts to cover 5 football pitches. Something Kinder and good to see Something Stupid recovering from his hip operation - both thanked for doing a super job with haberdashery.
Sperm Polluter in to give out Awards - one for himself should be a consideration (and Dirt Looney) with all the multiple hash efforts they've put in the past week.
GM The Wizard - despite hare Hairy Crack generously providing 9L of wine, cheese, salami and biscuits - TW bucketed him for being excessively exuberant.
Belly Dancer iced for reminding us that Phuket H3 will be having it's 2000 Run on Saturday 8th February.
