All decked out at Black Beauty's parlour
As expected, the British run at Mentiri
on Tuesday was delightful. At 5:15 the hashers gathered by the
roadside, awaiting the call to venture into the depths of the jungle
along the trail of white paper. I was a bit late joining the ladies
as I sorted out the water but it wasn’t long before I caught up to
the back walkers on the first hill.
The walk/jog
through the jungle was beautiful and peaceful, complete with the
sounds of the hash: “On on!” and “Checking!” First check was
found by Hash Hound who led the ladies in what appeared to be a
lollipop trail. Then, not far from the in-paper, a second check was
laid, causing confusion amongst the hashers. Some ladies decided to
follow the in-paper out whereas others, such as Speedy Gonzales,
didn’t want to give up and she found the second check. Back at the
on-on, it was discovered that Pee-Wee had heard the front runners
then panicked and dropped the second check a mere 10 metres from the
in-paper. Despite the confusion, it was a quick but enjoyable run.
After the run, the ladies all gathered
at Black Beauty’s house for the celebrations which were . There
were prizes to be won through all sorts of games and raffles such as
tombola, pin the tail on the elephant, and guess the weight of the
cake, the number of lollies in the jar or the name of the panda
(which turned out to be Flame…strange name for a panda!) Then it
was Irish Bingo, where you had to sit down if any number on your
bingo ticket was called (I’m sure it was rigged!)
The official opening
Many thanks to the Brits for being
wonderful hares and also to the horns – front horn, Chi and back
horn, Bionic Bunny. We were happy to welcome some first time guests,
not all of whom I remember names but we hope they will be back for
future runs.
Hash-shit was given out to Zoe for
leaving her keys at the run last week and so Mrs Pingu and I joined
her as part of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in order to raise
awareness. Hash Hound so kindly explained to everyone how the
challenge started and what ALS is.
We also had a lengthy “next week’s
run” announcement from Hash Hound. The run is at Lucky Gardens,
starting and ending at the abode of myself and the Duchess of
Cambridge. It also happens to be Hash Hound’s birthday on the day
so don’t forget to wish her a happy birthday!
The evening ended with some lovely
British food and special tea. Another big thank you to the Brits for
a wonderful evening!
On-On! Buttercup
