Apres No-one not a single person!

This week’s hash had a select little group in attendance.  The rest were dolling themselves up for a ladies Night (more later!!!).  With mention of hazards and waiting to see if anyone else turned up we set off just after 4:30pm. 

The hash was a simple route for us to follow, but not necessarily easy walking!  It was along and down Gillies’ Gully, into Guy’s Gorge, down Mal’s Hills, up Guy’s Gorge a little way then all the way up (and up and up and up!) Ron’s Run.  Yes we know it’s unusual to give so many clues as to the real identities of hashers but the names suit the persons concerned!

For those who want a more geographical description from the CSO hut we headed over the sandy flat plains to the left.  The sand was tough walking in especially when you have 4 little legs and some one moves your bush away from you!  The mice kept us very amused with their jumping around.

The it was into the gully proper behind Bear’s Back.  The gully goes down and down and so did we, boulder hopping all the way.  With gentlemanly helping hands along the way even those of us with short legs made it look easy!  The drops got steeper and we were soon in the gorge behind and below Bear’s Back.  A while further down, down and we could see North East Bay clearly.  In fact we were almost at NE Bay! 

Now those of you who know the lie of the land know that from NE Bay to the CSO hut is a long old hike – and yes it is uphill all the way!  Ron’s run came to the rescue!  Whilst being uphill it is boulder hopping at it’s most leg stretching!  At least it fools the brain and the heart into thinking it is not doing anything too strenuous.  The nasty bit was going past the smelly dead sheep but as long as you kept upwind of it (and Stinky Nuts I later found out!!!) it was bearable.  (Excuse the pun!)

Once at the top of Ron’s Run it was a lovely amble back to the cars and the waiting BBQ.  No namings today as there were not enough of us and some folk had an event to prepare for.  We played a game of show the tee-shirts and guess who the hasher was eg ‘Who is Pooped?’ as well as a few other names we didn’t recognise.  Half an hour later the ladies had gone to get ready and the guys, well the guys were still there with a beer.  Half an hour later they were still there!  I hear they did make it to the function a little later than planned!  Ladies – we hear you all looked fabulous and enjoyed a great night but we did miss you all on the hash!

Thanks to Fugitive and Uncle Fester for a wonderful hash and great nosh afterwards.

Next week Exiles Beach Hut.
