RUN REPORT

Chardonnay’s Livin’ on a Prayer Trail
14th May from Midway Point Tavern
Hare: Jim Beam & Didn’t Do It
Run Reporter: Hooray

Thirty one super fit Hashers gathered at the Midway Point Tavern for the second Hash run in a week at that exotic venue, bith set by Hares Jim Beam and Didn’t Do It.

The run bore remarkable similarities to the H5 run on Monday (pure coincidence), but completely different weather as Midway Point turned on a balmy, dry evening. [I’m being reminded that ALL evenings are dry where Hash is concerned – Sec.]

The trail was well marked and no Hashers reported getting lost, although many were confused by In The Raw’s directions and calling. It should also be noted that there were no dog attacks, unlike Monday’s trail. Chardonnay Hashers are obviously hard to catch.

The walkers covered about 3.85 km and the runners 7 km.  Walkers and runners were sent off along Penna Rd past Toongabbbie Rd with clear arrows and directions.  The running pack of three – Chris Miss, Pole Dancer and Snack Bar – turned into two, with the pace being too much for Snacky.  The walkers went by Darwin St on FT at Brady St, Singapore St with both packs meeting up at Bay Rd then back to the Tavern. 

Several Hashers did their own variation of the walk.  Jack Sh!t and I did the NDIS-authorised trail set by the oncology department of the RHH, and recommended for the Hashers with one foot in the grave.  A good run!

On! On!  Hooray

Lips: Uber and Hands On

  • Jim Beam & Didn’t Do It: Hares. “Déjà vu”. “Remarkably familiar”. “Told fibs that this would be different to Monday’s H5 trail from the same venue” (Apparently the runners’ trail was different.)
  • Feathers, Luv Shack, Smallgoods, Old Goat, Mrs Shithead, Jack Shit, Chris Miss & Muzza: Can’t remembers.
  • Growler: Her new car has all these new-fangled gadgets, but parking it took longer than the drive down (too close, could get scratched, etc.)
  • Cumonion: Should have gone to SpecSavers – mixed up Pole Dancer and Grizzly.
  • Prickit, Xena, Hooray & Slippery: Counting down the days until James Hird returns to coach the Bombers. (See the Bombers shoot up, up…)
  • Uber: Giving a ride to four pissed women after the ‘Pink Races’. (Not the first or last Uber to do so.)
  • In The Raw: Asked the bar staff what the roast of the day was, despite the menu board showing ‘Turkey’ LARGE LETTERS. (“I don’t need glasses”)
  • Hooray: Took Slippery out for a steak dinner – $180 for a T-bone steak (AFTER pensioner discount).
  • In The Raw and Old Goat: After Hashing the guts out of trail, was sucked in by a False Trail. Instead of calling it, saw that Grizzly was the next Hasher and tried to duck out of sight like naughty boys instead of calling it. (ITR blamed Old Goat, but no one believed him.)
  • Pole Dancer: Took two days sick leave after going to the dentist to have his teeth cleaned. Will have another six days off to come because the dentist is only cleaning one-quarter at a time.
  • Prickit: Not feeling horny, despite making promises. Has promised to take the Hash Horn to the Fling.
  • Chris Miss: Was concerned after reading the H5 run report from the previous Monday that there was a ferocious dog on the loose attacking runners. Claims that it was a chihuahua.

Skols from the floor:

  • In The Raw -> Old Goat: Re-Hash of the previous skol about hiding. Still no one believes him.
  • Smallgoods -> ITR and OG: Called “checking” despite trail having been repeatedly called “On” in a different direction.
  • Lost property -> Maximus (in absentia): Sweaty headband, cause of much consternation in the MaXenis household.
  • Grizzly -> Lone Arranger: Expensive clothesline saga.

Announcements:

  • In The Raw: Highland Fling trail is likely to be wet underfoot and steep in some places. Trail can be completed in runners, but walking boots and poles caould make things a bit easier for the ‘mobility challenged’.
  • Slippery Nipple: Reminder that it’s shoes off in the cabins. Bring slippers, Crocs or other forms of ‘inside footwear’.

Aussie Nash Hash 2027Camper Convoy

Now that all is confirmed for Adelaide ’27 it’s time to get organised. An early plan is to get the overnight ferry on Saturday 10th April, travel north to the Murray River at Euchua, then follow the Murray to get to Adelaide by 24th April.

This is on the theory that we travel one day, stay that night, have next day to explore local area, then move on the next day, finishing up in the Barossa Valley a few days before Nash Hash.

This just a concept. All interested, let’s put our heads together at the Highland Fling, or contact Pee Wee (ozziepeewee@gmail.com, 0478 834 716 or 6254 1016).
