Run -1835 - 24th December 2022 The Christmas Run

Run #1835

Saturday 24th December 11:30 AM

The Xmas Day Hash was beautiful and sunny, and the Xmassy-garbed participants gathered in the feria ground in La Cala like keen little elves ready for mischief. Our Virgin, Nigel, regaled us with a lengthy rendition of his life story during which some older members of the hash nodded off. The hares Gang Bang and Sandra Bollocks were jolly, easy hash they said. LIES. We took off down the riverbed, full of the joys of Xmas, like Santa’s reindeer’s champing at the bit.

Never trust a Scot or Russian when they say something is easy! Grumbling ensued as hashers endured river beds, scaled rocks and slippery hills on a mission to get to the beer stop to eat their bodyweight in mince pies, which seemed to be the main reason most hashers turned up in the first place. It became clear that some Lost Souls would remain lost, so everyone disbanded to the cava stop. Fully imbibed now with Christmas spirit, beer, pastry, mincemeat, crisps and bubbly, the rest of the hash passed without incident back to the circle.

Despite rumblings about ‘climbing Everest’ the overall score was 9-ish. Gang Bang gave Cardinal Colonic a ribbing, Dogsy and Up Yer Bum arrived late to the party and got a down down. Blanca Wanka narrowly avoided getting beer on her halo when her elf in shining armour, From Behind, stepped up to slosh beer all over himself on her behalf, and Boel got her hash name of Bone Sucker due to some story about meat which sounded a lot dirtier than it probably was. No time for anniversaries as everyone zoomed off to Pura Asia for the OnOn.

Wishing you all a very merry Xmas and happy New Year! See you in 2023!
