1133: Scotts and the Fran-park-it

The Scott family set the hash near some familiar ground by the hole in the wall. They led us over some pretty soft sand which one smaller 4X4 in particular struggled with.

There was a very good turnout this week with around 40 people in the circle. Hashmaster VC handed the trumpet across to ..... and we all headed off across some soft sand following the blue trail and Bobby the dog who was in a matching jumper. The first trail went from soft sand to rocky ground, ending just a few yards before the second one started. Jaws headed off into the distance as the rest of the pack followed from a distance. The third trail was more of the same, ending near a nice lunar-esque jebel formation. The On-In was written on a piece of cardboard just below a drop and a steep sandy bank which some of the more adventurous hashers quickly strode down. First in was Jaws, cosely followed by Cluseau.

The spy this week was Cluseau and with a theatrical performance unlike any Maths teacher I have met he proceeded to bucket Coach for abuse of power, VC for allowing the abuse of power, Jaws for overtaking and Mark just for the hell of it.

We all participated in the traditional push the 4x4 out of the sand dune competition, leaving Fran free to choose a suitable spot to get stuck again.

The much anticipated camping equipment raffle was drawn, with prizes going to Roger Keen, Dave Fowler and Simon Weight.

Morangie narrowly avoided getting flat feet in the second round of push the 4x4 out of the sand dune and we headed on our way back across the desert to Dukhan.

On On!
