The sight of Mr Fluffy pulling into the Ladybird parking lot caused some questions. Was he lost and confused? Was he inspecting for potholes? No, he was actually there to hash!! Which should show some of our other long lost hashers reading this you can always come back. Ollie was making his first hash, having scheduled his work on Ascension in a desperate attempt to escape a Yorkshire winter. The absence of the Bum family and Dozy ½ penny, considering they all live in Two Boats was never really explained. 

 The brief was short, 5 circle checks, one bar check, 3 fences and a possible case of trespassing. The On-On sounded and the trail first led the group parallel to the road and fighting their way through Mexican Thorn and Prickly Pear. Swinging around to the western side of Two Boats, the hashers encountered more plants and generations of rubbish. Seriously people we have touched on this before you cannot take your trash to the dump???

The trail continued around, dodging more rubbish and various invasive plants finally emerging a spot that most of the group was not aware had an almost legendary place in Ascension Hash History. The home that was once the location of Humphries Hut. The trail continued on winding around the outskirts of Two Boats, while Soggy Boozer’s children collected some new kitchen ware for her and the knitting circle got slower and slower. Instead of the mighty vuvuzela, Bladerunner’s stunt doubles went with a new sound, crafting a didgeridoo from trash found. Finally up the lower slope of Sisters to the 4^th circle check. This one had been designed with Small Balls in mind, naturally he choose this hash to miss, something about keeping Ascension safe from invisible alien space  monsters, so he will have to wait to get his surprise. The hash then led down the hill to the Sisters cairn, where the Hairy Twins tried to change the circle into a back arrow, luckily at least one older hasher spotted them in time. From there the hash led down the road and back to the Ladybird Building.

The post hash quickly broke up into the kids table, which oddly included Sgt Tackleberry and the adults. It was discovered that Herr-Lien Slacker is the Jan Brady of his family, although the reference was lost on most of the non-Americans. Groundhog Day was discussed at length and most of the islands woes were fixed as the sun went down on another excellent hash.
