A small but eager group gathered to face the challenge of the weeks hash. We were promised a “usual trail” but as we headed off along a familiar down route and went further into the jungle over the large rotting log, we headed into a section which is not often visited. Before long we found ourselves in a very pretty valley complete with singing frogs, pools and a series of waterfalls. Having been lulled into a false state of comfort we then started on one of several long up trails. At some point the 3 checks were tracked down but yours truly was not anywhere near any of them. The first check was a back check found by Kirstie and checks two and three were discovered by one of our new JM’s, Readymix. One hill it seemed was not enough for our Hare Irene who managed to find at least two more mountains for the pack to scale on what was a good training run for the marathon being held at the weekend. The hot, sweaty, weary hens clucked their way back through the glen of mud pools and slippery green rocks before sighing with relief as the large rotting log came into view once more. Thanks for the large clear arrows at this point, everyone manage to find their way out.

The storm clouds were gathering but the shout up was just about over before the torrential rain began to pour. We thanked Irene and family (in absentia) for a great run. She was presented with an expensive diamond ring for her efforts. A new member Amanda was welcomed to the coop and received a goodie bag from the hash shop. Hens with close or distant Scottish connections were encouraged to join the hares setting the hogmanay run on 2^nd Jan and Dizzy volunteered to do the water (or maybe not) in the coming weeks when Never Wrong is away. In the middle of the announcements a phone rang and yes it belonged to Irene. She was however forgiven because the call related to the food that she was providing! Nellie was however not so fortunate since she had forgotten to sign out. She had a long story about ice and being busy, which the hash ignored, so the award winning Hash Hit Holder Mad Marg was able to pass on the hash hit which Nellie took in style, seated with a towel over her head. The rain came down and we all tucked into the delicious food provided by Irene, many thanks for that.

Tonights Run (12^th Dec 06)

Serasa Hill what more can you say! Watch out for thorns in parts. It could be a bit slippery in the first section if we have had heavy rain. Not too long, walkers should be out in around an hour.
