Everyone met at the Motor Cross Track this week. There were lots of new faces and plenty familiar ones too.  Two Cocks explained the deal and that there was going to be a fair number of circle checks for all.  All headed off down the rocks to the sea, down through a rocky ravine and onto the plains. There was a call from the runners who had spurted off to South Red Crater and later met the rest back up on the plains bearing old bones that they had picked up on route (not any of the hashers we recognised?!). Then it was off over towards the mountains only to be met by a back arrow and a trail off to the other direction. Back on track, we went up through a path shanked by some high mushroom rocks at the foot of Green Top Crater. It was hard to believe Two Cocks when he told us that the steep climb over those huge boulders was not as bad as it looked. But the boulders were fairly solid and stable. True to Two Cocks’ word we all managed it easier that expected.  Then it was an upwards homeward trail over some more rocks. At this point there looked to be two options. The steep and awkward climb over some less stable boulders or the gently undulating path running alongside.  Some on the steeper route were clearly wondering where it had all gone wrong and how they had been led astray.  Soon the road was in sight and it was a homeward arrow back to the start.

Lanky turned up and it was down to some hash business. There was plenty of it. First up was Patsy who is now known as Skinny Butt. Stacey became One Dollar Woman, Bill became Portocabin, with a nod to his namesake Bungalow Bill, and Harley Davidson rider Bruce became Rice Burner. Good job the rain stayed off a while. Thanks to I’m Easy and Two Cocks for a great hash.

Next week: Barrack Block Patio 13, US Base.
