Never having been to this site before I was a little worried about the “it’s just by the dump” directions, but not to worry, there was not a whiff of foul air all night! When we arrived there was already a gathering of giggling youths, intent on frolicking in the waterhole, and not at all put off by the presence of so many hens.

The new roster came into effect with Madam Sin delighted to be off on the trail and Never Wrong babysitting the supplies. The run started up a hill and then just kept on going up! An awesome workout for the calves. I am reliably informed that there were checks, but have no idea where they were or who found them – someone much fitter than me! The forest was beautiful, pigs grunted in the valleys, the trail was dry, the bridges were balancing acts and the last bracken hill was punishing. All in all, a great hash.

Back in our ‘enchanted glade’, the waterhole looked particularly inviting, but Lady of the Lake Maria was the only one brave enough to get in. (She informed us the water was cold)

At the shout up chairs unfolded (great selling technique!) and candles and mosquito coils were lit. We welcomed Claire as a new member and sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Veronica. There were four guests, including returning hasher Erin aka Trips, and Maggie aka Miss Spain.

Thanks must go to the Hares for the delicious curry puffs, and also to Maria for her carrot and lemon muffins brought in as a pre-Ramadan treat.

Torches were mandatory on the trail back to the roadside!
