With all the hectic social stuff going on this weekend with QBP, leaving parties, football, etc it was a select group who met at the Wideawake field. Perhaps the mystery bit had people fooled as well. The weather was blisteringly hot over that side of the island and may have put some people off.
Buford T gave the usual warnings and it looked as thought there would be no runners for a moment. It would be a nice short hash of about 45 minutes. Then four front runners ‘fessed up – Whiskey Chaser, Irish Whiskey, Uncle Fester and Barbie Boy. They set off in one direction as the walkers set off in the other. The runners were in for a treat – following no hash is not easy! They were very confused and relied on long distance communication techniques (shouting and waving) to find their way.
Buford led the walkers in a slightly different direction and stopped to give a short history of the broken down vehicles. The walkers then headed off following the tiny, teeny bits of hash (when they could spot them!) It was up the hill to another circle check and a case of spot the runners. Bless Uncle Fester – he thought we were all just waving to them but we were telling them to go the other way!
A little bit of rock scrambling up and over and the group were on the other side of the hill circling it. The runners were off to the right and up, up the hill. The walkers were sent in a big circle before finally making it back to the road and heading down to the cars.
As it was so hot there was a swift decision to move the après to barracks 13 patio. One there it was out with the goodies and on with the namings. First up was Frances. Various names were suggested relating to her previous visit and cats, not eating bread and so on. Finally the purrfect name was shouted out – Pussy Galore No More and Frances was duly soaked and welcomed to the club.
Then it was forward for two unsuspecting victims. They had thought they’d be named next week but prompted by others Buford T had other ideas. Just as well as they are on the flight next Saturday! Being Canoodler’s brother-in-law and older (this was stressed several times by Pumpy Pants!) sister. Step forward Mike and Alison. Mike duly became Wooden Pecker and Alison Old Golly Waddle. Again both were soaked and welcomed with cheers.
The party went on into the night.
Next Week – Barracks 13 Patio – please bring a plate of eats.
Hares – Milk Me Mickey, Pussy Galore No More, Fugitive

Hash Bash – there will be a Hash Bash at Merlin Mess the second weekend in May - Saturday 12th May.
