Chardonnay’s Upper Middle Gagebrook Re-match Run
11 December from Lennox Park, Old Beach
Hare: Grizzly
Run Reporter: Herr Flick

A beautiful warm day caused a temperature differential between land and sea thus cooling down the Lennox Park area with a stiff afternoon sea breeze. This did not stop the adjacent cricket match, nor did it stop Grizzly’s rematch trail from attracting a good turn up of Chardonnay hashers. Nancy Boys close parking to the ovals boundary fence nearly got him an extra 4 runs and a new dent even before he had attempted to pay the Hash Cash C#nt Stop who was in disarray trying to get the dreaded white payment square operational.

After much counsel on how to operate the payment square and the many calls of “free run tonight”, Grizzly suggested that tonight’s run fees could be paid directly into his private bank account, and he would reimburse the club at some later (undefined) date. Admin out of the way and the trail details communicated to all at precisely 6:31pm we proceeded to head towards and across the East Derwent Highway. Which is unfortunately known for previously removing hashers from this world at this very location. (R.I.P. Harem’s Fringe Benefit – now in Cloud 9 H3). Tonight’s highway crossing was completed without incident taking us into the adjacent road reserve bush to a check that led Prickit confidently to call trail into some unsuspecting persons backyard. Dyke soon called the correct trail along the fencelines heading south and up the laneway to Sandstone Place.

The Hares promise of “spectacular views” i.e. steep hills, was soon revealed as the pack breathed heavily up hill to an F.T. on Grevillea Place bringing the pack together for a short period while awaiting a call by Hands On to commence the next section of trail towards Clives Ave. Xena & Slippery Nipple were deep in conversating about unruly clients and employees without even noticing that they were now leading the somewhat dispersed walkers pack through various laneways back towards another deadly East Derwent Highway crossing. Gun walkers Dyke, Pee Wee & Smallgoods chose to dodge the traffic by traversing a shallow roadside ditch (Pee Wee momentarily disappearing into said ditch), whilst the rest of the pack chose
the safer pedestrian crossing as clearly marked by the Hare. The return loop along the Old Beach ‘Little Doors’ foreshore trail was interspersed with small trinkets and offerings placed to delight walkers & runners alike and tiny doorways that only Pee
Wee was able to pass through kept the NDIS hashers entertained until reaching the well-stocked Piss Stop.

A selection of beers, bubbles & softies provided by tonight’s Hash Hops Clearfell was much appreciated at the foreshore Piss Stop, with “spectacular views” across the river (but without the hills). This was a nice way to end the well-marked, but not very challenging (7/10) trail before a short stroll along the waterfront and back to the now deserted BBQ area at Lennox Park. A scrumptious selection hot Pork & Chicken pieces with lashings of gravy was served up with salads by the lovely Lone Arranger & La La. This kept the cold at bay and everyone’s the gobs full, until the usual call of – “I’ve finished my meal, where’s the Lip session”, which signalled the start of
Nancy Boys ramblings. And another great evening at Chardonnay H3 was had by all.

DOWN DOWNS

Lip: Nancy Boy

• The Hare: Grizzly
• Pole Dancer: Parks in a disabled car park meaning that Nancy Boy nearly lost his spot, then nearly got hit by a low flying cricket ball.
• C#n’t Stop: Still doesn’t know how to operate the square meaning that Grizzly has been forced to siphon off cash into his own bank account.
• Hands On: Reunited with her cup that she chucked on the back of someone’s trailer in Old Beach.
• Crusha: Only had to walk 100m from his pussy minding job, but still drove.
• Hooray: No Hash gear and didn’t pay. Took advantage of C#n’t Stop’s Hash Cash failure.
• La La: Lost property – left her sunglasses at the p*ss stop.
• Hooray: 200 run jacket.
• Millstone: Slippery Nipple – 200 runs.
• Xena: Apparently spends more time in Maxi’s new building than he does, which means she must want to christen it.

• Skols from the floor:
  • Hands On>Smallgoods: Slippery went to the trouble of buttering her bun, which Smallgoods then stole from underneath her.
  • Nancy Boy>Pee Wee: Came across lots of fairy doors on trail, which were about his height.
  • Dyke>Hands On: Stopped to pick up Ted’s dog poo and Dyke wasn’t sure whether he was looking at Ted or something else.
  • Smallgoods>C#n’t Stop: C#n’t Stop wouldn’t get the hint to leave Smallgood’s place after a few big boy beers, so ended up sleeping the night. He then got busted by Hands On having a sleep in the van in Sorrell.

A note from Pee Wee: Nash Hash 2027 Ballina NSW

🚐🏕️🚐🏕️🚐🏕️🚐🏕️🚐🏕️

Nash Hash seems a long way off, but there seems there are a good number of Tassie Hashers from all clubs who are joining the ‘Gray Nomads’ brigade and have camper homes, caravans, camper trailers etc.

My thoughts are, if enough are interested to make up a convoy to depart all on the same ferry, slowly travel to Ballina and Hash on the way. Route and stopovers to be decided by the group. All staying in the same caravan park in Ballina.

The reason for such an early notice is to book ferry places and any caravan parks on the way. Short notice bookings on the ferry is nigh impossible.

All interested, contact Pee Wee (the short one) on 0478 834 716 or ozziepeewee@gmail.com
