Seemed like most of the island was on the NASA road last weekend, the hashers having to fight their way through the bikers to get to their venue.

The road to the Pines didn’t present a great deal of cover from the descending/lifting cloud base, but assured by the hares that it didn’t matter, because once above the clouds there would be magnificent views. Muffled groans were heard as eyes were cast in the general direction of The Peak. Slippery conditions, lots of guava and the only snake on the island were the hazards.

So off to the first circle with stout boots, a smile on the face and hashing in the heart. The runners were soon there, but it would not be long before they could really find there legs. It was on-on, the runners went right, the walkers went left, onward to the next circle. The runners then went right and the walkers went left and upwards, to enjoy the magnificent views of Mars Bay and the Fairs.

The Nature Trail became opened again as the may pairs of boots pounded the overgrown pathway into a recognisable track. No sign of the runners until the next circle, when they suddenly appeared with steam coming out of every orifice. Not wanting to let them cool down it was onwards and upwards and then downwards to the Pines. The runners disappeared into the mist, whilst the walkers, being a sociable lot, made their way back to the hash start with a spring in their step and in pleasant conversation.

100 Watt found that he had only got three wheels on his wagon, Hashers being an adaptable and multi-skilled lot soon got it sorted out with the help of a bag of tools, a karate chop to a piece of wood and a can of beer in hand.

So back to Bloodsuckers patch for the Aprés, a great BBQ was on the go, the Cavaliers were in fine form but not so by the end of the evening.

Great to see Little Crisis and Puff Grannie again, and of course Lambs Legs on one of his visits to the island.

Good hash hares, great Aprés Bloodsucker

Next week’s Hares: Bloodsucker, Greased Lightening.

Venue: Xmas treasure hunt stating from the modular accommodation at the US Base.
