Well there was a definite feeling of spring in the air as 16
enthusiastic hashers met in a beautiful bay in Golkoy , the setting was idyllic
the weather was good despite the forecast of rain . From the look on the hares
faces as we all arrived we could tell it was going to be tough as they had
literally just finished setting the hash as we arrived ( shame on you for not
having faith in the RA to provide good weather). The circle was called and GM
stepped in to welcome everyone to run 145 ,a brief intro then FRB from the last
hash was called in for a down down , then the HONor was awarded to Lightfoot
for appearing late at the last hash albeit after a long bike ride. Hares in to
tell usual pack of lies flat , short etc etc then a warm up with a bit of
tossing instruction from CV ( pancakes tossing of course ), and off we went.
The runners soon sprinted ahead of the pack only to be held
up by a wrong call of on on , after about 1 ½ km the trail split into walkers
and runners , with the runners heading into the village and the walkers heading
straight up the mountain. The runners had a few checks to hold them up and then
following a run along the beach and a stream to step across they were heading
up the mountain after the walkers . The views from the top were amongst the
most beautiful ones on the whole peninsular and worth the hike up there ( I
think ) . Just over an hour later and everyone was heading back to the RV with
an injured CV bringing up the rear ( I believe that Hose Handler tripped him up
as he didn’t want to be last home ). A good challenging hash had everyone
reaching for the refreshments , or in the case of Lightfoot and our two new
hashers taking a dip in the sea, (at which point Winey Bitch moved quicker than
the speed of light to get photos) I personally went for the beer option that
sea is too cold for me.
Circle up was called and the hares were called in for their
heckling, followed by Fishy Fingers to explain about our “away” hash to Pubes
and I Loves Punk at their new home next hash. Two virgin hashers and a
“Virgin” returnee were then called in for respective down downs. Virgin hasher
Paul was called in with wife Suzanne for holding hands all the way around and
“having sex “ on the hash ,he thinks we need to get out more. CV then took the
circle and had the hares in to remind them that a 4km ON IN is the longest he
has ever known , but as Fishy Fingers pointed out there have been complaints
recently of less than challenging runs and he can’t have it both ways , to
which he conceded it was a good hash. Then there was a reprimand from the RA
for lack of hash gear and a reminder that we have a Birthday run coming up so
there will be chance to purchase new gear . Lots more down downs were given for
various misdemeanours including wearing pink , misnaming and shortcutting. Gm
Hosehandler came in to tell one of his infamous jokes and gave us a giggle as
he once again forgot the punchline much to Helmet Polishers discomfort. Beers
were finished circle was called and off we all headed in convoy to the On On On
an little lokanta in the village with delicious freshly cooked food at very
reasonable prices .
Well done hares another thoroughly enjoyable hash!!
On On Whilst You’re Down There !
