Run – 1993 – 23rd November, 2025
Location: El Farro
Thirty plus hashers circled up, admiring the beautiful view of half completed buildings and cranes, while the hares gave us our marching orders, which were basically the same as always.
Except one and you’re on, so no false trails. And it was an excellent trail, and well marked, except when it wasn’t. Which was most times the
trail turned, or when the hares were presumably chatting and forgot to put down marks. Excellent trail with lots of running opportunities but a cross country run rather than a hash. A hash has
checks, splits and check backs, something to keep the FRBs occupied while the rest of the pack catch up. A cross or a double arrow is not really a check or split if it’s one and you’re on and the
first mark is less than ten meters away. If you are going to do a lazy hare run put the first mark some way from the check so it’s at least vaguely challenging.
There was a runners walkers split so the walkers were able to avoid the nasty dirt hill that went up and up and then down and down. Not being an aficionado of drink stops I had an Aquarius
and asked Rick O’Shea which way the trail went. There being only two options it didn’t strike me as a particularly difficult question. “Oh, erm, I don’t know. You’d better ask Belgian MILF.”
Fortunately she was more on top of things. But then the pair of them got lost driving back to the
start. So we continued on the trail with another runners walkers split. And then the trail stopped.
Nothing. Some of us decided to press on through the woods, sensing that the end was in that vague direction and eventually, after fighting our way through the undergrowth, we found
ourselves back on the road where the rest of the pack were ambling along. And how had they got there? At the roundabout where we had followed the trail to the right they had not noticed the
turn, kept going straight and there was a trail that way as well. We can only assume the hares had meant to take the trail to the right but then decided it was a bit iffy through the woods, went back
to the roundabout, and took the trail straight. But didn’t properly erase the marks to the right. So we were all ready in the circle when it was noticed that AGM Kindergarten and Special Prize
were missing. And apparently they hadn’t been at the drink stop either. So to fill in the time Sir Flakey started taking individual photos of all those going to the 2000th run. And then some
group photos of everyone present behind the new 2000th banner. Eventually the pair of them arrived and Kindergarten gave some unconvincing explanation. They
had followed trail the whole way and there was no drink stop. Apparently the rest of us were hallucinating. We just imagined that we had stopped to imbibe.
And so the circle began. General agreement that it was a great hash, which garnered a 9.72 rating. Colonic conducted the circle, presumably because Rick O’Shea was busy with haring
duties. Colonic worked out what happened to Kindergarten and Special Prize. At the start Kindergarten had announced run number 1992, which was last week’s run. So obviously he was
following last week’s trail. Other down downs included –
Aguasex and Stiffany for talking.
Two visitors for bin dipping. Not having chairs to sit on they decided to find something in the garbage and indeed found a pallet.
Cat House and her partner whose name I can never remember had brought them and told them they didn’t need to bring anything.
Barkie for interrupting.
The hares for forgetting to get bin bags.
Big Mouth for bin dipping at the drink check. She found two paintings of fish, one a lion fish, the other a clown fish. Big Brother and STTI were also brought in but I’m not sure what their
connection was. Cat House was likewise brought in for asking for a pin for the drink stop so she could go back and see what other artistic gems were on offer.
Genie in a Bottle for talking, in Swedish no less, which morphed into when one Scandinavian drinks, all Scandinavians drink.
The hares for not being able to find their way back to the start. Rick O’Shea for wearing odd socks. And the socks weren’t even his. They were STTI’s.
STTI, Kennel and Fanny Haddock for wearing Jolly Storks socks. Colonic and Barkie for falling over.
And last, but not least, Cat House and her partner who are off to Japan to get married. Congratulations to you both. May you have many wonderful years ahead of you.
おめでとうございます. And remember it’s not too late to “Just say no”. A lot of us then went on for a nice Italian dinner at Colinas del Faro. Although not everyone
enjoyed it. Poor old Sir Flakey got a prawn stuck in his windpipe, which meant he couldn’t eatthe rest of his prawn pil pil and wasn’t even able to make a start on his Mexican pizza.
Great job hares.
