Report:
Well, Hare of the Dog was definitely on the cards and a good turnout in some sunshine after days of wet, wet, wet! Hares managed to get out of bed and lay the trail so that should have been at least one point for the score card! We set off from the Wok Directo car park intermingling with lots of Sunday promenaders, but Mijas HHH were distinguishable wearing their assortment of Christmas inspired outfits. The first check led us over the slip road where we held the traffic on the pedestrian crossing long enough to cause a traffic jam on the A7. The run then led us on what can only be described as flat terrain around the metropolis of Fuengirola. The Hares had timed the run to perfection ensuring we arrived at Parroquia de Nuestra Senora del Rosario as the bells rang out for midday service, offering festive and religious advice on our route. On on through the narrow streets and Kaka Pants was clutching his new Christmas ‘toy’. I thought it was risky to run with a new Ipad but Piste Braidwe declared this was safer than leaving it in the car! Mum Braidwe was on her second visit after surviving the previous week’s run spent mostly on a roundabout above La Finca at Alhaurin.
We reached the port at Fuengirola for the beer/cava stop with happy memories of the 30th Anniversary run. It was warm and cheerful with the cava flowing and lots of chat about the previous day’s celebrations. Stiffany was effusively describing her breasts which on Xmas Day she had carefully wrapped in streaky bacon to ensure they remained moist. Yogi Bear was in his element on this flat run and was even pragmatic about the 90 day rule. French Connection claimed that without being with family it wasn’t really Christmas so they had a take-away curry! Wanka Blanca was back, having served her time after being infected by the You Know What virus, and was delighted to be out and about.
The second half was simple enough, apart from some lost trail. Up Your Bum was in charge of Eva and Tony who looked very cute in their Xmas dresses. In her excellent Spanish, she enquired of a passer-by if his dog would be willing to mate with one of her charges, he replied that he would be up for it, but probably not the dog!! We all found our way by one means or another back to the car park. “OH NO” Shouts Kindergarten “POLICE ARE AT THE CAR PARK. GET YOUR MASKS ON AND HIDE THE BEER” In fear and trepidation the pack reassembled for the circle only to discover the Police Car with flashing lights was in fact Limpieza and they have to take photos of their work clearing the garbage to prove they’ve done the job!
The usual round of down downs and punishments then proceeded. Chutney Ferret getting a beer for having one squeaky shoe – PS, he’s been out for a run this morning and discovered it wasn’t the shoe that was squeaking……
The On On at the Wok Buffet saw 27 Hashers gorge themselves on everything and anything at the counter, washed down with generous amounts of Vino. Things got noisier and songs were sung led by Colonic. The afternoon culminated in a crème-caramel-sucking competition won easily by Aquasex. It Was then time to leave before the rest of the guests could stand no more of our antics!!! Thanks Hares for a great run and ON ON.
