It being Ascension Day, the hash was a bit of a happy-go-lucky event. The few dedicated hashers gathered at the Post Office, ready to head up to the “guns” as the rumour had said. Of course, our dedicated hash master, Wood’n’Pecker, had other plans. It seems this hashless hash wasn’t going to be quite so easy!
We were instructed to head to the guns, then make our way around to the back of Cross Hill and the old quarry. From there the plan was to either go over the top and back down, or back the way we came. Well, these are Ascension hashers, so following instructions is not our forte.
As we got through the village, and headed up the hill, most followed the track. Not for Uncle Fester, such an easy route. Straight up the side of Cross Hill he went. Little Chuffer decided that he was up for a tougher challenge and dragged his father Lanky along for the ride. Bloodsucker huffed and puffed her way up behind them.
They managed to meet up with the runners at the turn. From here, all plans went out the window. Uncle Fester was obviously on a mission, and kept on going, straight up. Most of the FRB’s decided to follow, with the exception of Menoporche, who joined Lanky, Little Chuffer and Bloodsucker, who decided that they had had enough uphill for the time. Off they went to the guns, and onto the path around to the back of Cross Hill. The others disappeared into the clouds.
Soon, Wood’n’Pecker appeared, wondering where all his hashers had gone. He led the way to the quarry, and a truck filled with refreshments. What a welcome treat. The others never appeared, so it was presumed that they had headed back to the fair. Menoporsche decided that a trip to the top of Cross Hill was in order, while Little Chuffer cadged a lift back with Wood’n’Pecker. Lanky and Bloodsucker chose the easy road route. The FRBs were all back at the fair by the time the slower folks arrived.
It seems that Menoporsche had missed his turn in the Gunge tank, but that was remedied the moment he showed up. Of course, after hashing to the top of Cross Hill, he quite enjoyed it!! Then it was over to his place for the apres.
A great hash for fair day - thanks to Wood’n’Pecker for not allowing us to be too lazy! Lots of good treats and liquid refreshment to work off!
