RUN NO. 2049
DATE: 27 NOVEMBER 2007
Site: Kapok Kanan
HARES: Magic Roundabout/Running Bare
FRONT HORN: Carol
BACK HORN: Virgin “Nancy”
HENS: 40 CHICKS: 2
The horn sounded and off we headed down the road, it didn’t seem very long before we came to the first check.  I went checking on ahead, then re-evaluated turned a 180 and went checking back, convinced by Alice in Wonderland to head forward again off I went checking yet again, it was naturally called ON BACK!  Check found by Cheryl & Alison. (Cheryl called the back horn thru—wow we got there before the front runners—what a cheeky check, but being experienced hashers, Alison and Cheryl knew there was no other way!!. Ed) Hey I needed the extra distance and luckily there was no climbing involved!
On up we went, and up, and up.  As the hill got higher the chatting became quite limited, any remaining breath was used for the usual questions “who laid this?”, “did it say it was a short run?”, “do we believe these particular hares would lay a short run?”, “is their and our opinion on a short run the same?”, and on up we kept going and panting.
Once we reached the ridge the views of Serasa and the port were fantastic, the hill was strangely forgotten (amazing how that happens), and breath and banter returned.  After that all I can remember is the lovely tootle downwards and chatter, chatter, chatter.
Mud, thorns, hills and the weekly catch up chatter, what more could anyone ask for!
Thank you very much for a fantastic run, and no it wasn’t too long. 
As for who found the checks, I have no idea I was to busy coping with the hill at the beginning and everything there after is a bit hazy.
(Next check was found by Sarah B (our new JM) ed.)
Welcome to the new committee, Nellie and Sarah well done on your first true hash shout up of the new hashing year, I just sorry I couldn’t be there for it but I’m sure it went well.  Good luck for the coming year, and give as good as you get!
OnOn! Scribe Heather S.
(Thanks to hares for the delicious healthy food, the aubergine (egg plant) dip was fantastic, do share your recipe Running Bare, we have had lots of requests. The birthday cake for Magic was good too. Ed)
