1146: Hot! Hot! Hot!

The hares decided that we all had been very bad over the cooler months and decided to take us to the depths of hades and make us run around. It was around 40 Deg C when we ran Coach and Firecracker's trail towards the sea from Khatiyah North. There were four medium length trails which had everybody puffing and panting. The ON-IN had been painted on especially for coach by his little underground friends in a crack in the rocks.

Unfortunately we lost a hasher on the trail to heat stroke but she was whisked to the medical centre by Vomit Comet and Bubbly where she was given loads of salty water and will hopefully be better soon. Everybody make sure that they properly hydrate themselves before coming out on the hash in this weather.

Comments were given by Cluseau who did not pass up on the opportunity to rip into Coach and Firecracker for setting a long trail on a hot day. Although in his defence, the hot weather has snuck up on us this year. The spy was Penelope Pissed-Up who bucketed Ceweed, Byron, Demion, Simon Hose and GPS for crimes against fashion.

Ceweed volunteered to set next week's hash.

On On until next week.

Hot-To-Trot

1145 Forest on The trail of the Lonesome Pine

This weeks Trail was set by Hot To Trot and he took us up towards Khatiyah North. With not a tree in sight the poor dogs didn't have a leg to lift. 3 trails of what was described as a moderate length was a lot longer than moderate. Ask any of the girls what a moderate length is and see what they tell you ! Over rocks and jebels the Hashers hashed. Soon the field was as spread out as you could get and Gump, Jaws and Rocky must have covered miles searching for Trail 2. This blogger is sure that they were on their own wee mission to find the elusive tree.This would solve Hash slash's need to pee on every tyre on everybody's four by four.
Trail 2 took us along a pipeline and up another jebel even further away from the cars. This was the trail that got some of the girls moaning about length again.
Trail 3 was found close by the check-in for number 2 and took us along a rocky ridge with some of the youngsters off and running with not a thought to the razor sharp rocks whereas the elder members had their eyes glued to the terrain. Again Gump set off on the search for the On in and he like the rest of us must have walked over it. Lisa "Ooo ah Cantona ' on stumbling over it took off like a scared rabbit and that is the quickest sprint in we've had in a wee while. Mind you she started the run in on a downward incline and the momentum she initially gained would have given Mr Bolt a run for his money.
First in toast was given nearly word perfect by Ooo ah Cantona and Hash comments were given by Alistair Justice. He was lenient to the Hare and spared him a right good slagging. Mr Ceeweed was this weeks spy and he bucketed Hot to Trot, Jaws, Simon, Mr Comet and Byron for various reasons non of which we can print.
The Tickets are going fast for the Hash Ball so get your names down for a good night. On on.

1144: Windy Easter Live Hash

I was supposed to set the hash this week but for some reason I failed to access the correct sector of the hard disk in my head and forgot. So the Easter Sunday hash run was a live hash.

19 humans + 1 dog braved the elements, each taking a slip of paper and performing their respective roles. There were four trails and 3 false trails before Ceweed called the ON-IN. Cluseau was pipped to the post by young Son Of Rock. Comments were made by GPS and the spy was Cluseau. He passed up a completely legitimate reason to bucket me and decided to keep all of the water for coach for abuse of power.

Easter eggs were distributed to the kids and we all had a beverage and a blether.

Just as well we were given the option to have a short-ish run as there was a howling gale and it was threatening to rain. It looked for a moment that we would get horizontal rain and make me homesick for Shetland but it held off until we were on our way home.

Hash ball tickets to be distributed next week. Final call for hashers to sign up to the ball before it is opened up to non hashers will be next Sunday.

HTT

1143: 4T + 2FT = 14D

Ceweed took us out the main gate toward's Fahahil and down to the coastguard's station for a bit of a test in arithmatic. He told us that there were 14 dots at the end of the trails and there were 4 true trails. The trails turned out to be quite long and winding, doubling back on themselves to allow shortcuts by the walkers and the hare. The second trail turned into a loop at the end which made a few people quite dizzy. Jaws raced to the finnish after seeing the On-In painted on an old matress. Comments were given by myself (HTT) and the spy was Neil Scott who was not guilty of age descrimination. He bucketed hashers young and old. Gump almost joined us for liquid refreshment but got lost among the pipelines on his way back from the Jaleha shutdown.

Sales of stubby holders are brisk. Stocks are limited to 10,000 so hurry while they last.

Only 5 more weeks until the Hash Ball on 14th May.

On On until next Sunday
