Run score ????? not at circle {That's me Eggshell }

Well I haven't been hashing for a while so it was good to see some old

faces but how things have changed. Back in the day even dogs weren't

allowed, I remember “Up ya Bum” bringing a dog and Sir Flakey

cutting the lead in half at which point Up Ya Bum ran off into the

Campo never to be seen again but the dog was fine!!! Now we have

Gays, Lesbians, String Vestites and even a Non Binary who identifies

as the R.A. However the final straw...Dogsy turned up on a bike!

So a good turn out of 44 hashers set off on a one beer one cava stop

run. With cries of OnOn, hoping I wouldn't get lost, I did my best to

keep up with the front runners. After ten minutes I turned around,

looking back on a long straight path seeing no one behind, I thought

I'm well ahead! Until a reality check... The F.R.Bs passed me going in

the opposite direction. In wholesome hash spirit and not deterred it

didn't take me long to catch them up only to find them huddled in a

bunch. Sir Flakey's dulcet tones emanating from a speaker phone...

“Your well off trail..Follow the river, climb a bank, thumb a lift..blah

blah blah.” Here we go again! Now back on a good hash trail. River

beds, banks, paths, false trails, checks. Spirits ignited and arms

bloodied and shredded onwards we go. Plenty of scrub and brambles

not of the exfoliating kind!! Cheers F&S!

Then disaster struck. On a single track concrete lane STTI was lying

on her back in agony. It appeared she had slipped on a narrow band of

water running horizontally across the road. A few hashers had already

gathered around to help but as I had just been on a hash H&S and first

aid course , I quickly intervened. Rule No 1. locate the affected areas

and administer beer, as this cures all things hash related. Pouring beer

on her painful wrists didn't seem to work so in hash tradition we drank

what was left. Rule 2. Make things safe for other hashers. With this in

mind my son, visitor Nick and I managed to turn her on her face so

other hashers could walk across her back safely crossing the slippery

water. Rule 3. Say some comforting words... I knelt down, held her

hand and whispered in her ear “ If you don't make it to the OnOn can I

have your half bottle of wine and my son have your dessert?” Think

I'll be asking for a refund on the hash H&S course! Now things took a

turn for the worst. A car was coming up the lane,so with a cry of

“PETROL” the hashers jumped clear. Hopefully the tyre track on the

back of STTIs shirt will come out in the wash..

OnOn to the well stocked beer stop followed later by a cava stop, then

a nice OnIn to a cool beer and comfy seat..made it! A great run had by

all... well nearly all. Poor STTI. My arms bleed for you!

Dogsy was to be scribe but didn't do the run on his bike after-all. Early

onset dementia confused his understanding of the pin drop. Looking

for a volunteer carer to walk with him next time. My contribution is

last minute. Unfortunately I was unable to stay for the circle so there

are some stats missing from my report. Perhaps someone could fill

them in. I am giving the run an 8 it would have been a 9 if Flakey

hadn't thrown the slops from his new camper-van across that narrow

concrete road causing mayhem!

From myself and on behalf of all the hashers may I wish a speedy

recovery to a brave and a very lovely lady and hope to see you back

on the hash soon Chris (STTI) ALAS, SHIT HAPPENS.

OnOn
