High up by the water tower the hash was set to go. The words indicated ‘gentle hills’ but knowing we were starting on a ridgeline made me more than a little suspicious. However, all the pretty in pink ladies were ready for the challenge.

The trail went up a little way, then plunged down the hill, continuing down and down and down until I thought we might start tunneling (“I knew there were going to be hills – every step down will have to be regained before we get to the exit – who set this hash?” were just some of the comments I heard.) We went through some ‘tree tunnels’ before starting the inevitable up with a rope climb – very ‘Tarzan’, or rather, very ‘Jane!’. The up was everything I’ve come to expect from spg 378, and by the time I was out, I was definitely pink! The checks were found by Call Girl and Peewee. Congratulations on a hash well laid.

Being the breast cancer awareness run, there were marshmallows, lollies, and baileys waiting to greet us at the tent, along with pretty pink balloons. Everyone got ready for the shout up which was a real ‘bras on parade’ event! Thank you to the hares for the pink presents – I do like ‘hello kitty.’ There were 5, lets count that again, 5 first time guests – Kim, a boatie from Auz, Cam from Brunei, Rou Ling and her daughter Miriam from Singapore, and Kate from NZ – we are an international bunch. Tonight was also the last run for Not Yet who is off to Fiji – good luck Nellie, and keep the spare bedroom ready! It was also great to welcome back Mrs Pingu – we hope to see her again soon.

The hash hit was popular tonight with lots of taps and no returns, but finally we were ready for the hashit which was just as popular. Smurf had forgotten to sign out (again – is it fish oil or gingko tablets she needs? Can’t remember!). Also on the ‘naughty list’ were Shantal and Elaine who, although they had both had the most thorough training from some nameless saint hasher, still both forgot to introduce their guest to the JMs. tsk, tsk. Very well taken though.

We finished the evening with delicious baked potatos covered in baked beans and cheese, with cake for afters. Before everyone took off a group photo was taken to commemorate a very successful hash – congratulations to all.
