Shitty Trail ….. well the start was at Triple A dog Shelter and we set off along a path where volunteers were exercising the dogs! Strange no Hashers had brought dogs this week. Rick O’Shea after 15 mins claimed this was the easiest trail he’d ever been on set by Just Say When. However this was just the prelude. She was going to live up to her reputation. After a pleasant grassy path we followed the trail steeply downhill via a narrow clay ditch, most opting to go arse first. Not a pretty sight. Gangbang and son Itchy who’d come to visit mummy for some TLC led us on. We came to a split where Machos should have gone right and wimps left. Not sure why, but many runners missed this.

Further on a chalk circle, which JSW had warned was a check at the circle, saw the walkers checking but surprised the runners hadn’t already been there and marked it. Three options and the on was found. From there it was not difficult to follow. We could hear the runners catching up with walkers and see them far below like specks in the far distance. Finally Pisster Bradwee came puffing up the hill with his sticks and we admired the view. He carried on while I took pictures of the runners far below. He called out ‘beer stop’! A blessing. It was still a way off. Finally some refreshments - pink cava and beer. Three mince pies and some chocolates in a tin. Yogi was first to spot the pies of course! The runners then joined us walkers after their arduous trail. Chutney had taken a tumble and needed sympathy. Not forthcoming. We were told the second half offered a water hazard for the Macho runners (a change of shoes was warned would be required) Despite a bit of false info on direction, sending Sir Flakey and Chutney Ferret down the garden path, we set off again. The showers had abated and the sun was warm. Mistress asked STTI if she could exchange the newly purchased neck warmer for a skort. The trail had been freshly laid from the beer stop by JSWs little helpers and we meandered through some very pleasant countryside. Kindergarten Cop deigned to join us on this leg after running the first half. Finally the walkers reached the cars where a fair few wounded - Colonic, Yogi, or just not running Mummy’s Boy and Virgin Mary Ann where we enjoyed more cava and chips. Then the wait for the runners. They’d come to the ravine and after getting down it there was water. Unfortunately one of their number has an aversion to big drops so turned back at the top of the Red Sea. The Machos including Bloody Pinocchio, Pearl Necklace, Comes More Often, Little Big Horn made it. The missing one might get renamed from Dog Face to Red Face having resorted to Google Maps to finally join the circle for a well earned down down. We WERE worried about him and persuaded PN to call him after a suitably long lost period!

The hares were given a resounding accolade with much deserved praise after the trials and tribulations of the previous night’s emergency alert messing up their trail. RA Rick O’Shea had plenty to punish people and dished out the usual penalties. Visitor Fire Thighs regaled us with her hash history and her son Abba Blacksheep was not on his iPhone! Well done. Chutney offered a song which was rude!

We finally enjoyed a sociable menu del dia in a rather chilly restaurant nearby and this last run brought us to the end of a successful year of Mijas HHH hashing.
