Run 1238 - Hashmas 2010

Hare:  Morangie and Chad

First In: Mr Rick De Boer

Comments: 'Panty' Hose

Spy: None other than The Coach himself

Location: The secret hashmas site - 25.459879, 50.858095

Running:  Rock, Sand, Jebel and trail

Weather: Pleasantly warm.  Unless you were dressed as Santa...

Somebody needs shooting, or at the very least bucketing, for letting Mr Morangie set one of his epic trails for Hashmas when everyone is dressed in Santa and reindeer costumes.  Will I ever learn.....

Anyway, a long run it may have been, but the weather was perfect, the company sublime and the costumes ridiculous.   It was nice to see a lot of old faces and a number of new ones, and very pleasing to see some of the younger hashers really get into the running (apart from when this 30 something Santa got shown a clean pair of heels by a five year old fairy).  The run, which was won by the ever sprightly Mr De Boer was followed by a seasonal mulled vino and a finger buffet before the bonfire was lit and the carolling began.  It must be said that the enthusiasm was not necessarily matched by talent by more than a few.  Luckily the kazoos were on hand to keep everybody right...

Thanks to all those who turned up, and here's to a safe and relaxing Hashmas for all.  Normal service is resumed next week - Sunday, 3:30pm DGC car park.

On On!

Run 1238

Hare: Methusela, Pegasus and Dave

First In: Captain Planet

Comments: Morangie

Spy: Ms Anna 'no-longer-welcome-at-the-Cooper's-after-that-bucketing' George

Location: 10 km due North of Dukhan. 25.506377, 50.765430

Running: Rock, soft sand and Jebels.

Weather: Getting colder.  Much colder

A very satisfying trail from some experienced hashers, and a gentle romp home for the Captain for another win.  A good mix of terrain and distances, with maybe a slightly too easily found on in.  Rumours abound that the only reason Master Baker did not take the glory for a third week in a row was that he was not present!

Ms George stepped up as spy for the first time and then demonstrated to all and sundry how power can go to your head as she bucketed a number of friends and colleagues for a variety of misdemeanours, including her adopted mum, Mrs Cooper.  The air turned cooler after that one!

Next week is Hashmas, so all are welcome for mulled drinks and  mince pies.  Admittance is some nibbly things such as snacks, mince pies or sausage rolls.  Leaving same time from the usual place.
On On!
