Run Date: 8th April 2019
Run No #2014
Hare: Screw & Fork
Venue: 80A Maple Drive Andergrove
Hashers: 21
A hearty band of 21 keen hashers gathered at Screw’s mini market garden, eager to stride out on a healthy round of cardiac activity. Little did they know that the ever-fit Screw had in fact set a run of truly marathon proportions! “Foller the chalk”, he yelled, whilst gleefully holding aloft a tangle of pink tape. “you might find some of this as well”
Of we went then heading down Maple Dve in the general vicinity of deepest Andergrove. Marks seemed to be infrequent, as we toddled along. Round about the end of the road the markings seemed to disappear forever as hashers scattered in various directions. A couple of staggering elderly gents decided to return to the beer, and I, as a concerned citizen, decided I better help them through the dark night. We managed to return for a refreshing ale, and then sat back and watched as dribs and drabs slowly materialized down the driveway. And slow they were. The final hashers appeared at 7.55pm, almost 2 hours after the start! Most were mumbling unprintable remarks about the hare. The hare, though, seemed well pleased with his efforts.
After throwing cash at HashCash, and demolishing corn chips and dip, the circle was called. The hare got his just desserts (twice) and then all the runners who actually completed the marathon were loudly called upon by a raucous HotRocks and his returning best mate Snot for a very noisy down-down. The same song was sung over and over, some jokes were told by Flaps and myself, then it all descended into oblivion, followed by a half-hearted attempt at the club song.
Fork disappeared into the kitchen, then reappeared with big bowls of rice and chile con carne, which was ravenously gobbled by starving hashers.
Much beery chatter followed, and the evening eventually wound up, well past darktime.
See y’all next week at our joint 12 Douglas cres Rural View., for a much shorter run, with no hills at all at all.
