A little confusion about the starting spot…. Someone should obviously read the paper! Thankfully Headmistress went out on a rescue mission and set the missing hashers straight.

A little confusion about the starting spot…. Someone should obviously read the paper!  Thankfully Headmistress went out on a rescue mission and set the missing hashers straight.  We were informed by Wood’n’Pecker that there were basically two complete hashes, one for the runners, and another for the WATs.  With that off the runners went heading towards Command Hill.

The WATs headed to the windmills, then turned and started climbing Dark Slope Crater.  With belated warnings to not tread on the wires, we picked our way around the crater.  The fact that there were three different geographic markers within several feet caused some funny comments.

From the top of the crater, the runners were spotted bounding down another crater.  Wood’n’Pecker figured they were just on time!  Pretty soon we were picking our way down the side of the crater, back to the windmills and the vehicles.  The WATs were quite pleased that they beat the runners back in.  Premature Launch took a bit of ribbing for the fact that he was trailing three little Brit girls!

The coolers were put out and then it seemed as if the hash master was trying to escape, but he was only turning the vehicle around to use as a table!  Access to the drinks coolers couldn’t be impeded!

It was noted that a couple of sorry souls were among us and so the circle of friendship was drawn.  First up was Lonnie, who had finally completed three hashes over quite a number of years and two islands, Ascension and Antigua.  At least he didn’t get lost here on Ascension!  A number of names were bandied about but due to his behaviour at the VC Club when the Sexy Santas arrived, he will forever be known in the hashing world as Santa’s Little Voyeur!  Next up was Aimo whose resemblance to a certain rock star and his work refurbishing the bottom mess earned him the moniker ZZ Bottom.  Welcome to the Ascension Hash House Harriers, guys!

A couple of the intrepid hashers decided that the hash hadn’t been long enough and so headed off to the Devil’s Riding School Letterbox, while the smarter hashers relaxed with refreshments!

Thanks to Wood’n’Pecker  & Old Gollywoddler for a great hash!

Next Week:  High-speed turnaround.

Hares:  Bloodsucker & a rather large crew (worried anyone??)  Actually it will be the inaugural walk to two of the new letterboxes, so everyone is welcome to join us for this!
