VIRGIN HARE PULLS IT OFF SINGLEHANDED!
All Barney’s fault
I'm afraid. I have fretted about writing this for weeks and now the time has
come…
Beat the Meet
It's a lovely April evening, very clear, no breeze and a blue sky tinged with
volcanic ash. All 45 hashers/hashettes gather at the car park in Wheal Josiah.
After a while we muster for the pre-run brief.
100% MAN FAT
Bit of a problem with mountain bikers – watch out! Also wash your hands
afterwards. Surely the ever-clean member needs no reminding of the principles
of hygiene? But no, it seems the levels of pollution are such that one needs
a sluice down after running round here.
It's all in the wrist action!
We set off downhill along wide forest tracks into the wood. The
shorts went in the opposite direction; the longs re-crossed the car park back
into the woods down down. Then we all split up, running into the undergrowth,
then running uphill – three or four hashers at the top; VP in flour
on the ground – great view. The hare asks where the others are and what
are we doing here? (Er, hashing?) Scenery consumed, more track, long/short
divide no one else in sight, back to the split. Espy a hasher emerging from
greenery; decide to take short cut (will consider moral objections later).
Glanni hoves into view, scratching his head. Run up cycle track, how do they
negotiate these weaving paths and jumps on bikes? Have to ask Ram Raider –
he should know.
One-off event
The chimney appears and as it's 8.15 feel I have done enough, so reject invitation
to follow others on to run a bit further and return to the Bucket via direct
route.
Wanks for the memory
Thanks to the hare who did a terrific solo effort for her first time as a
hare. A really refreshing and enjoyable run. I take some (rather boring) pics
and head off to the pub, uploading to the TVH3 Facebook page as we go.
Flogg the Bishop
No telly in the pub and no signal on the phone, so I'm left wondering
what is happening to Argyle (they lost and were relegated). The chips don't
look too appetising so I stick to a pint of Cockle-roaster (or three).
My notes are a bit hazy
here:
Hobo - nothing to say
Slush - too far, but good
Underlay - cut himself
P 60 and Polly - at the match
Bushcraft – short cutter
Well laid – ran from home as she was late
I had a Biffism but I've lost it.
Hash hush was by the joint head of the new junta, von Trapp:
T-shirts £10; Virgin hasher Josh (needs epithet) inculcated by
Barney; TVH3 are on Facebook (have I said this before?)
And that’s all, folks!
