Hash Run Report

Highlights:

Beautiful, breezy, mosquito-free evening at the park to start.

Good run, well marked, refreshing Hash piss

No facts from the Monk (😉)

Some decent jokes and down-downs

Excellent meal, snacks and dessert (Mrs Appeel’s ANZAC biscuits)

Lower-lights

Hills on the run!!! (For some)

No facts from the Monk (Pench 😉)

Hash Piss parking option (due to Harbour’s friendly chatting and Golly’s decision to ‘stay put’ despite helpful suggestions to move closer before Tarzan gazzumped the spot) = several down downs

Brisk wind that blew everyone home early…it’s into that time of year to start packing some extra layers.

On to Tarzan’s at 4 Evan’s Ave next Monday.

See you there!

Date – 13 April, 2026
Run – 2376
Hare – Smut
Venue – 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella
Hashers: 18

A hardy group of Hashers arrived at Glenella and welcomed back Knicker Licker who had recovered from his upstaging event at Insex’s birthday party. Right on time we set off for a quick trip around the streets of Glenella. 

Tonto received a down down (later on) for being a ‘gentleman’ and offering to “SCREW” in some palings for a lady with a drill. Tonto finally caught up to the group as we finished our delightful drinks at the piss stop. We were then back on the road again, torches flickering to Smut’s abode for some nice cold refreshments.

Down downs had and Knicker Licker and Maple Syrup welcomed back. Fascinating facts delivered, jokes told and circle closed. Followed by a hearty hash meal with TimTams to finish the night. 

On On till next week at Camilleri Park.

Run Date: 06/04/2026
Run No: 2375
Hare: Shocker
Venue: Settlers Rise Park & then on to 4/23 Sunset Dve, Erakala
Hashers: ????

A keen bunch of hashers gathered at Settlers Rise Park in anticipation of one of Shockers famous runs exploring new Erakala real estate developments only to be sadly disappointed with a live hare stroll around the established section of Settlers Rise. Shocker claimed Easter fathering duties as his excuse for working below his usual lofty trail setting standards.    

At run completion, proceedings relocated to Shockers abode on Sunset Drive where nearly 20 hashers were found unashamedly delving into the esky in the back of Golly’s vehicle while fighting with the swing-open rear door. Eventually, a bit of common-sense prevailed and a door prop was found.

With the circle called, the errant door situation drew a number of charges including Golly and Tonto. Pensioner contributed heartily to the joke session and the Trail Master sought unsuccessfully to challenge the GM on short-circuiting the decision for the location of the up-cumming Celebration Run. 

With the circle closed, Shocker served up a hearty main meal and in keeping with Easter tradition, provided a dessert of Easter eggs, shamelessly torn from the hands of his small children.  

This week’s run is at 20 Royal Boulevard, Glenella.

Hare: Pensioner & Mango
Venue: John Breen Park, North Mackay
Hashers: 17

Hi,

Monday night on Malcomson Street at Mozzie Park, where 17 hashers gathered around for some hashing.

Some went left on an envelope run, from Hasher Pensioner, while others turned right, off Beer Hunting.

A piss stop was promised, which was most welcomed after 2/3 of an all flat, but long 5km run completed.

On home, for the circle with stand in Monk, Zorro, tonight, and returning hashers, Piccolo, Lassie and Tonto.  Lamb Hot Pot for Nosh and Jam and Coconut slice for sweets, how nice was that. 

On On

Matches. 

Next week’s run is starting from Settlers Rise Park, Jardine Drive & then on to Shocker’s abode at 4/23 Sunset Dve, Erakala

Run Date: 23/03/2026
Run No: 2373
Hare: Snot & Insex
Venue: 19 Tern St, Slade Point
Hashers: 19

Seems like a lifetime away, hence I have very few memories of what happened but it went a bit like this: A bunch of hashers turned up at Snot’s joint, milled around for a while, before Snot decided to send em to the piss stop, about 7ks away. Zorro and myself decided it would be kinder to our feet if we returned to the beer. And so, we pushed back from whence we came, just in time to see the frontrunners return about an hour later.

In the absence of the Monk and Monkee, the GM decided to hand the Monk duties to U Turn, who managed to burst into literally uncontrollable laughter at a joke she was trying to tell. Impossible ! There was the usual bunch of charges, including one for me for being a returning runner, after being confined with a massive dose of the flu. The rest I don’t remember, but the piss stop leftovers seemed to be heading in all directions.

Circle bullshit over, we were introduced to Snot/Insex ‘s culinary delight…. Curried fish, vegies and stuff.  The usual banter was on display, until we all waddled off home.

Next week it’s our turn at our favourite venue Mossie Park, er, I mean John Breen Park.

See ya there

Pensch.

Date – 16 March, 2025
Run – 2372
Hare – U-Turn and Tarzan
Venue – 4 Evans Ave, North Mackay
Hashers: 18

St Paddy’s Day Eve most Hashers arrived in green T-shirts (some even more decked out), looking for that pot’o gold at 4 Evan’s Ave, only to find multiple chairs set up on the emerald green grass in anticipation of a rain-free run!   What were the chances???  Space was made in the under cover just in case.  Run was the usual so Tarzan dispensed with marks knowing the lure of ‘green’ Hash piss would ensure everyone stayed ‘on trail’.  Amazingly the total distance was almost 3 km Smut reported as it began to bucket and everyone moved inside for the circle!  Maple copped a down-down for her big mouth, numerous other charges were laid, jokes told, belated and current B-day chockies delivered to Insex and Snot.  The biggest action of the circle was recognition of Corgie’s 1700 run milestone.  Congratulations, Corgie!

The pots of gold arrived, with no more rain, in the form of two types of Irish stew served with a mountain of potatoes, oodles of bread and hot out of the oven rolls.  U-Turn, you’ve outdone yourself as it was absolutely delicious!  Green jelly and a suspiciously flat, green cake lovingly baked by Tarboy rounded out this St Patrick’s Day offering.

On, on everyone, till next time at Slade Point

Run #2371
Hare Daffodil
Venue – Col Story Park, City Gates
Hashers; 17-18

The sky looked promising for an outdoor run venue so 17 or so runners showed up behind the old Info centre at City Gates.  Insex, with a returning runner as well as a newbie from her Big-O party, and Snot were official welcomers as the rest of us arrived in dribs and drabs.  There was a flurry of excitement when Corgi and Daffodil parked and immediately rushed off with gloves, buckets, disinfectant and sponges to prepare the eating area after its use by some very grubby homeless druggies.  Luckily Daffodil had discovered the mess when he’d come earlier to mark the trail.

An impatient Trail Master set us off by 6:03; keen to join Zorro at the conveniently near-by pub?  Great trail, well marked, lovely botanical gardens, setting a difficult future (?) benchmark of (officially) 4.25km.  Crackers and dips devoured, circle called, Space (outer) the Monk’s topic.  The length of a day on Neptune prompted a lively auction eventually sold to…???  

Charges were a little slow in coming but plenty of down-downs: birthday girl with return runner, new runner, returning runners Maple and Prick.  Good jokes told and read.  Corgi and Daffodil’s hot (how do they do it so well?) Spag-Bog followed by Tim Tams and Tawny Port completed a great feed, under lights with no rain on a clean table (Barring a few lines of smutty language Tarzan pointed out impossible to clean off.)

Several runners left straight after the feed, but the hard core either sat chatting or headed to Termite’s well positioned car for a final ale and didn’t return??!??  What happened???  Heroically, the boozers had rescued Termite’s car from drowning in the icy water from his bung-less esky!  So a few more laughs before we all hit the roads home.

Hash Trash Updates:

End of Month Social. Saturday 28th March at Flavours of Vietnam in Nelson Street at 6 p.m.  Please RSVP to Mrs Apeel.  She is booking for twelve, to start.

Run Date: 2/03/2026
Run No: 2370
Hare: Tonguer
Venue: 12 Hill End Rd, Glenella
Hashers: 16 or 17 + 2 little Hashers

We were the last Hashers to arrive at Tonguer’s place to see an RACQ vehicle with lights flashing was parked at the entrance to his driveway. Wondering who was in trouble we later found out somebody (Snot) had locked the keys in their car.

Run instructions were given and we headed off along Hill End Road to Davey Street under the overpass, around the streets, water ways and drains to arrive at the park on Smuts street for a Hash Halt. Corgi and U-Turn mentioned the dead fish on the side of the pond on Northview Gardens coming up to the Northview Park. They weren’t smelling yet. It was on home along Bradman Drive and back out onto Davey Street, past the hall and we were ready for our first beer. But no, the Hash Piss car was locked. Termite eventually arrived and apologised for he had left it opened but cars these days automatically lock if unattended. A down down for Termite not knowing this.

Smut started the circle with history lesson on wine consumption. Was it America that consumed the most by volume? Portugal No 1, most wine consumed Per capita, 61.1 litres, Australia No 11, 24.5 liters? and now wine consumption is less by the public. Cost of living getting too high?. A few charges were given and jokes were told.  Corgi was charged by Zorro after getting excited after giving an explicit description of a cow she had milked earlier in the day to get milk for the new born calf which the cow had rejected. Termite for thinking he had left the piss car unlocked for the front runners. Tonguer was charged by Snot for not having any nibblies.  The hash song was sung and Wendy brought out the chicken bake which hungry hashers devoured followed by Bread & Butter Pudding with custard which was enjoyed by all. Well marked run and good company again. Thanks Tonguer & Wendy.

On On Daffodil & Corgi.

Next Weeks Run is from Col Story Park, City Gates

Run Date: 23/02/2026
Run No: 2369
Hare: Golly & Raggedy Ann
Venue: 4 Trochus Court, Shoal Point
Hashers: 21

21 aged weary Hashers and Shocker in his brand-new Toyota Hi lux work vehicle made their way to the Sands Of The Northern Beaches to Golly & Ragged’y place at Shoal Point. 6 o’clock came around and the main topic of conversation was where is Termite with the Hash Piss? At around 6.10pm Termite rolled in and Golly called everybody out front into the cul-de-sac where he gave run instructions. We set out towards the tip of Shoal Point but turned left towards the park and on to the beach. Due to the recent rain two small streams running were  onto the beach but were able to hop skip jump to keep the shoes dry. One group followed the arrows up the rock wall while another group walked along the beach to Shoal Point’s newest housing estate/ motor park to meet Golly at the piss stop. Due to the lack of housing and building activity the area has become a haven for 4wd drive vehicle drivers and off-road motor bike riders as well as a Harley rider using the straight road into the area as a drag strip. I reckon he was doing over a 100mph after leaving the motor park. I still can’t believe how many 4wd vehicles and motor bikes were in  this area just on dark on a Monday night.

It was on home after the piss stop where Raggedy brought out the party pies, sausage roles, chips, bikkies and dips while Golly fired up the BBQ making plenty of smoke keeping the mozzies at bay.

Smut called the circle and gave us information on beer statistics, apparently Czechoslovakians were  the thirstiest, drinking the most beer and Australia rated around 19^th I think. Charges were given followed by a few jokes . Snot was charged for trying to cut off his finger in a bench saw to get out the jobs Insex had lined up for him to do for her birthday bash. Fork and Screw were welcomed back as returning runners. Sausages, fried onions & salad were served up followed by Tim Tams. Before too long it was 9-30pm so the remaining Hashers said their good byes and headed for home. Matches was right we hit the Rural View traffic lights and it started raining.

On On  Daffodil on behalf of Tonguer.

Next Weeks Run is from Tonguer’s place, 12 Hill End Road, Glenella

2nd Run Report 

I’m writing about this run for Tounger. Apparently, he is a much better house builder and Land Rover mechanic these days than a wordsmith.

Seeing how I missed the run it was judged that I was in the best person to do the report. Don’t know how this comes about but I am writing slowly as I have 1 hand outta action due to a fight with a bench saw.

It all happened about breakfast time Sunday, blood everywhere and I just knew that a bandaid wasn’t going to cut it. Off to the hospital we went where we sat till teatime whereupon the nurse replaced my paper towel bandage with a better-looking bandage. I was given some good drugs and antibiotics in the meantime.

Come back tomorrow at 7.30am for surgery. Well apparently, a finger has low priority compared to broken arms and legs. At 4.30pm I was wheeled into the theatre. 4 attempts to get a canula in, 3 lots of needles to deaden the pain for the procedure (same as was done on Sunday) well all was good then  the gas flowed, fluids went in, I was smiling for the first time in 36 hours. In recovery I was fed and watered.

Insex picked me up and off to hash I went. I arrived in time for Raggedy’s dips, party pies and sausage rolls. Hash piss was on , but not for me. Circle called by our monk, run was judged as good, got the customary free drink. Apparently, I got a drink for attention seeking. There were jokes and other down downs but the drugs I was on caused me to forget.  Golly cooked snags, Raggedy brought out the coleslaw and potato salad, bread and rolls and other stuff. 

Not long thereafter I was in bed.

So on on to Hillend Road Glenella for a great run to be hosted by Tounger

Love Snot
