1149: Klipe's textbook hash

Klipe asked us all to come 15 minutes earlier to the golf club as he was taking us on a long journey to a seldom used hash site down towards Saudi. Once everybody had arrived we headed off out the main gate and on to the motorway. We passed Fahahil Main and kept on going, turning off down towards the sea to a spot next to a manifold.

VC did his introductions and welcome backs and passed the trumpet on to Klipe. The first trail was a nice long sprint down the road which got the runners safely out of the way and heading in completely the wrong direction at the end of the trail. Their enthusiasm led them off into the sandy hills nearer towards the sea where they would find no trails. The second trail was found by one of the walkers and doubled back almost parallel to the first leaving some of the runners with about a five minute run before they hit the soft sandy trail. The third trail was thankfully shorter than the first two and over some nicer terrain. Dr. Justice found the On-In but decided to wait before calling it so some of the slower lot could catch up. Pegasus forced his hand and called it for him, prompting Gregory and him to race towards the finish. First in was Gregory who gloated quite a bit before struggling a bit with the toast.

Comments were given by Penelope Pissed Up and VC. There was much ribbing of VC for his antics on Thursday night and then we were on to the spy. Postman Pat bucketed In & Out, Byron, Rigger Rob, Gump and Jaws for overtaking and misunderstandings.

On On until the camp on Thursday.
