The sun shun down as the pack gathered so our R.A. Quicksand decided to show up after all and take the credit. Easy Wipe and Deep Shag looking strangely sunburnt and smug, gave a quick briefing and pointed in the general direction and then we were off…nearly, Downunder committing the first of her ‘numerous’ crimes delayed the off by strolling up late with her anklebiters. The reason for the hares silly grins soon became obvious as we entered the jungle, fighting our way through waist-high brambles, nettles and goosegrass jumping in and out of ditches was the order of the day early on, 7 kgs of flour (possibly a new record) made direction finding fairly straightforward . But as the trail blazers hacked a way through the undergrowth with their machetes, Downunder, busy rabbiting at the back, suddenly realised there was a lack of children type noises in the vicinity and the hunt was on.. Step forward Quicksand, the Man of the Hour who eventually tracked down the smallest of the anklebiters following an unknown cyclist off-course and heading into the wide yonder. I was with the first group of walkers back and badly in need of beer due toall the excitement, the sun and nearly treading on a snake. But the runners were already fully refreshed due to having finished before the childhunt, and by the time the last person returned their driving ability should have been seriously impaired. Dr Who took the initiative and called the circle, Deep Shag had a DD and revelled in a 100% thumbs-up for the course (DIY wasn’t there as a spoiler). It goes without saying that Downunder went down, she got away without the Motherclucker somehow but surely knows that any further offence of this magnitude will see her drinking out of its backside. The two elder ‘biters’ stepped forward and volunteered for a DD as penance for leaving behind the third, Codpiecer tried to grass up a completely innocent hasher for some alleged offence but it backfired and into the centre she went. We had one virgin to DD, Ellen who did great for a first DD until she’d finished and tossed the cup over her head narrowly missing Wallabies Lover. A humorous naming session then followed with Dr Who apologising in advance and calling his better half Laure into the circle. How we got there I’m not sure anybody will remember but Quicksand sprinkled her with beer and she walked away a Dominatrix. The final DD of the day went to Downunder again, the wandering anklebiter and our intrepid R.A. for rounding her up. I attempted to fill DIY’s shoes and led the circle with verses 1 and 2 of the Hash hymn and was told to quicken it up next time. A real good day On On Scrubber
