Run 1395

Flipper's Betty's Birthday afternoon run ­ 3 June, 2 pm

Longest out of town foray for a while ­ to Tunnel Gully Reserve ­ Te Marua ­ end of Plateau Road.

A few returning faces for this family run ­ and a pretty nice day for it too. Diddley Squat appeared for the first time in ages ­ Kotanga and Mrs Kotanga made the journey over from the Wai ­ clans Porkbox, Tripod and Flies were in attendance which partly made up for a multitude who were not.

Cars were locked out of the park by WRC fascists, so there was an extra km or so to get to the start. With no sign of the hare, hashers ambled on in following flour to the first check where some thought it appropriate to start running.

Townplanner was in energetic mode getting onto the early trail straight away following some bush track. Pack was already split into walkers and runners before the option of "FRB" and "SCB" directions was found. FRBs were directed up "Climie" track to Mt "Climie" and climie it was.

Emerged onto a 4 wheel drive track ­ headed up to check. Some took the on-back downhill option but TP insisted he had checked this one to at least 200 metres. A further futile climb ensued until Bubbles checked a bit further down ­ on back down it was.

Wiser heads started heading right at the bottom towards the tunnel. But the trail went left ­ and a very long way further down. As K9 observed, what goes down has to come up ­ on-up it was ­ almost back to where we had started and straight to the tunnel. Some size of tunnel that ­ for those for whom this was a new experience.

There was a bit of a recurring theme of 300 metre checks on this run ­ which was enough to stuff the walkers who'd wandered off to somewhere near Mt Matthews by the sound. Most of the pack were back in just over an hour tho' Kotanga and Boon came in significantly later.

After a few beers we noticed that Jenny (Mrs Kotanga) and the religious clique (+ Oscar) were missing. No-one really gave a rats arse, tho' Oggy seemed mildly concerned. Flipper felt a bit responsible and wandered off on a search mission. The lost sheep + hare showed up about 2 hours after the start of it all. There was enuf time for Highheels to mutter about some outrage he was going to perform on the hare (involving pliers and a blowtorch) before buggering off. We'd pretty well finished the piss by then anyway.

Modess Joe got the BBQ fired up - not that many people remembered to bring tucker. The circle was dispensed with 'cos of no glassware and not a whole lot of beer ­ and 'cos the Ayatollah couldn't be arsed.

Sun started to go, piss was cut and the temperature nose-dived. The last of the pack buggered off.

And that was that ­ last "summer" run for a while.

Run 1396

The "waddle doddle" run/walk was looking to be a wet one, but the Hash gods stepped in and said 'let the bastards run dry' (which fortunately was ignored by our beloved Biermaster) so the rains ceased instead.

Since I was part to the unthinkable, namely the Tawa boys arriving first, I can report the hare was incredibly sensible in putting down fresh trail for the pack. The allotted hour arrived and with no sign of the Hare to give them instructions, which is just as well probably since these usually tend to mislead, the pack set off. Amazingly on-trail, up the High Street the motley went.

The first to break ranks was Tripod who obviously knew something the rest didn't when he continued up the High Street when everyone else went through an alley into Robert Street. The trail went through to Oxford Terrace, via the first of several checks, and then up and over the railway onto Doysh Street. Somehow T.C. managed to appear ahead of pack with admirable short cutting.

With the horn leading (indeed a rarity), there was no surprise when the pack split after a big loop along Pilcher Crescent.

Those wiser ones amongst us, who continued along onto Riverside Drive North were first to another check off Tilbury Street. With no sign of the front running Horn there were Hash men on both sides of the river, all seemingly happy to be heading in the same direction.

Thankfully another check at the junction of Parnell Street and Woodside Grove saw some degree of order restored.

The trail was found with the help of a little local knowledge in guise of Mildew, who was eagerly followed along Riverside Drive North then back into Lockett Street, Burnside Street onto Waiweta Road. Cries of 'where the fuck are we' were soon echoing through the night, which goes to show that even the 'locals' can get lost in the Hutt Maze?

Trail went along Fairfield Avenue where another check, that the 'Waddler' (tired by now) quickly recovered on Porutu Street. It was then down to Cambridge Terrace, across into Mitchell Street and thankfully 'on-home'.

The sight of Peeler (fresh from his work-out at the gym) getting into the chippies and beer sent a reassuring glow through returning bodies. His sharp sense of humour showing through when Oggy, seeking donations for the Interhash Raffle, was asked if he could take the number that matched his age! (50 in the draw yeah - right). While Town Planar was busy wrecking one of the tables, a grand selection of pizza's were being prepared.

The first down-down was duly awarded as a combined new boot/new shoe emerged, namely 'Furburger'. Something to do with his German heritage I believe. This was followed by Dogfish for having a 'loose' dog and Flipper for the previous weeks good run.

Oggy (Jockstrapper) was given the Bubbles Award, which is still a mystery price to most of the assembly. Oggies attempt at the down-down was remarkable only for the degree of spillage achieved.

Yours truly got his usual award from Arold our esteemed Ayatollah for 'some fucking reason'. Duck was suitably dealt to for being 'a late starter' or was at 'a late comer' who knows?

Then SACRILEGE, Dogfish broke the prick, but due to good fortune and some timely pizza deliveries the matter was soon lost in a flurry of hungry Hashmen.

After some order was restored D.T. was awarded another 'knaff shoes' down-down (where does he get them from?).

The Oggy Award went to High Heels for being remarkably 1 hour late! There was also some talk of him 'outwitting the hare' very badly apparently.

Boon received a down-down for a noisy exhaust, hopefully the motor variety. Something to do with Puha and getting turfed out, which was all very odd.

Finally a 'fine from the floor' for, who else Numb Nuts from who else, Bubbles. The lack of Horn I believe was the reason given, but as everyone knows, it could have been one of many.

The pizza's kept coming until even the hungriest Hashman said 'enough'. A rare occurrence indeed. The added benefit of having the real 'World Cup' showing on the hostelry my T.V. was brilliant. Well done Duck.
