Apres – no-one

This was most definitely a hash in two parts.  The children took a lovely amble along towards Sugar Cubes and then all the way along up to Bullock’s Pond with everyone staying on their own two feet the whole way!  Well done guys!  Luckily Lanky was on hand to make sure they did not stray too far from the true path!  Skulls and all sorts were collected along the way and there was much laughing and joking with each other.

The adults (or those who were up for it) were bemused to see not one but two minibuses waiting for them.  It was a definite choice to be made before setting off this week and WATs together with FRBs had to decide children’s or other.  Most chose other and hopped onto the minibuses for their intriguing trip.  On along past IDL and up towards the sports field they headed.  At the sports field it looked as though it was going to be a left and along into Two Boats proper but Stinky Nuts was just parking the bus!  Thank goodness for that!

The on-on was then over the field towards Dampier’s Drip – a much loved hashing route!  This was lovely and easy if somewhat hot and sticky after all the heavy rains.  The evidence was there for all to see with rocks and small river paths in the way.  At Dampiers Stinky Nuts took a break, after all he had set the pace with the FRBs all the way up the hill (or had he?!?)  In the distance those lagging behind at the back could see the FRBs stretching their legs and climbing up the rock face opposite!  It was true the only way was up-up!

There was some nifty footwork along the way and much moaning and groaning as the gang bravely made their way up.  The moaning and groaning was more in the way of passing comment to make sure that minds were taken off the real task in hand – not falling over or worse still down!  Hand over fist, knee over knee they gang crawled, sprinted, clawed and ran their way up.  The walkie talkies provided much needed encouragement – until the phrase ‘We’re about a third of the way up Monkey Rock’ was heard over the airways! 

Now those of you who have visited Monkey Rock from the bottom up know that it is a tricky little climb at the best of times!  There are some who do not ever wish to try Monkey Rock, those who have done it once and that was enough thank you very much and those who absolutely love it.  I’d really rather not do it ever again and so was mightily pleased when the rock climbing and scrambling we had done brought us out at the gates to Monkey Rock Cemetery.  Fantastic! We did not have to climb the really scary parts!  By now of course the rest of the FRBs were probably back at base camp tucking into the drinks and nibbles!

From MRC it was a fantastic trip along Invalid’s with a vague thought of popping into Foreign Body’s house for a quick cuppa, across the road and up to Middleton’s, along Middleton’s then down, down down and eventually back towards Sugar Cubes.  A fantastic hash Stinky Nuts and Wood n Pecker – well done!

When the last of the troop returned to base Mildew sang out the praises and thanks for her two knights in shining armour – 100 Watt and Stinky Nuts!  Thank you for bringing her back safely.

With everyone accounted for the circle of friendship was quickly drawn and Victor stepped inside.  After a few suggestions the name chosen was based on his favourite football team - Evil Scouser.
