 The troupe gathered at the Grazing Valley for this week’s chapter of the on-going hash saga. TheMcGonagall brought a couple of visitors to the island, Dave and Richie. For the first time since March, both the hash master and the hash spiritual advisor made the same hash, providing the increasingly wayward group with much needed guidance.

The brief was the usual Ascension hazards, sharp plants and loose rocks with 5 circle checks. There were a couple of possible routes from the last circle check, and the famous last words “You will work it out”. The On-On sounded and the trail started off heading towards the Bullocks Pond Letterbox, at the first circle check Arthur and his trusty sidekicks decided to head that way. The rest of the hashers followed the trail as it swung back to the east climbing up the northern ridge behind Mountain Red Hill. The 2^nd circle check was in the shade of an old White Olive tree, lulling the hashers into a false sense of an easy hash. From there the trail went up the rear ridge of the mountain, and up and up. The hash and the 4^th circle check disappeared somewhere over night, with the sheep being blamed, even though it is well known Ascension fact that only the donkeys eat the hash.

 Finally staggering to the top of the rear ridge at the 1600’ mark and the 5^th circle check, the hash led down into the canyon to the south of Mountain red Hill, but there was some debate just heading over the top and down the other side. Finally the hash was followed through the canyons and back to the road, then back to the parking at grazing Valley. In an embarrassing display Soggy Boozer was seen flagging down a passing motorist and catching a ride back the parked vehicles. The après was short as the majority of the hashers were off the Babcock Mess for Quiz night. So after a quick nosh and drink this week’s hash came to a close, while short it was still another stellar Boozy Clan hash!
