RUN: 181
DATE: 31st May 2015
LOCATION: Was it A, B or C?
HARES: Semen and Barrel
SCRIBE: Old Banger
Lovely day for a Hash in Yalikavak. We all met at
Noddy and Barrel's place at the appointed time (more about appointed time's
later!), after a bit of hash-cashing and hash-chatting we formed a circle.
We welcomed visitors, virgins and returnees, heard
absolutely nothing of interest from the Hares who just confused us with the
alphabet, the GM talked about the successful wedding hash, we gave Lightfoot
his just desserts and thanked King Crapper for sorting out the new signs and
then. ....got back into our vehicles! Our convoy of two trucks with happy
hashers crammed into the back and a car made it's way to the start of the run
at point A...or was it B??
The route was not without it's challenges.
Mountain goats would have been very comfortable cavorting on the steep rocky
outcrops and then could have been dinner for the two ferocious sounding big
dogs at the bottom. As it was we tripped and slid our way down, narrowly
missing being dinner for the dogs and reached the road safely, except maybe
Shitter who once again took a fall – probably on this part of the route. The
rest of the route was straight forward with some lovely views and a section by
the beach, some of us went slightly off course but local knowledge kept us in
the right direction for whatever point we were heading for!
All rendezvoused back at Noddy and Barrel's place,
some took to the pool – others the shade and
most to the
beer! The circle was called and downs downs were awarded.....in no particular
order of merit.....the hares were called in to be told what a dreadful run it
was, another welcome to visitors from Aberdeen - High Maintenance and Muff
Diver also Thomaz and Elisabeth who I think were friends of Lightfoot and then
returnees, Mike and Pia. Lightfoot got a
down down for not explaining the hat rule, Shitter got awarded the helmet and a
down down for his clumsiness on the trail – yet again. Muffin Muncher just had
to sit in the circle and got a down down for this breach of rules
but then further defiance followed in the form of tea-potting and wearing pink
got her another down down.
The big issue of the afternoon presented by Culture Vulture was the time of
the summer Hashes . Normally they move to 5pm for June/July/August. It was said
that the difference in temperature is a minor 2 degrees and that it gets tricky
getting bookings/good service in restaurants during the busier time of the
evening. So it was suggested we stayed at 2pm. LuvJoy said that we should have beach barbecues instead
of going to restaurants after the summer Hashes and I think suggested 4pm
starts. After some shouting out and voting, it was agreed that we would start
at 3pm. It was also agreed that barbecues were a good idea and LuvJoy was
appointed Barbe-Meister (although according to spell-checker this is
Babe-Meister which he just might prefer!).
The Aberdeen Hash-visitors got tested on our Hash
names, which would have been difficult enough but some – no names mentioned –
forgot their own hash names.....down downs ensued! Finally I remember a down
down for those with no mugs. Apologies for any omissions but there you go!
