Winter appeared to have been banished as blue skies and sunshine greeted the pack that gathered by the river at Blagnac. A very different story to last time around when Deep Throttle and Squatter's run coincided with freezing rain and general climatic nastiness, so all but a few die-hards were frightened off. I of course would have been there but was unable due to being tucked up in bed with Bengali Red Fever.

The hares gave instructions three times due to late arrivals before the Horn bleeted the off. The runners pegged it off into the distance leaving the ramblers to set the world to rights with intellectual discourse. The trail had a slalom feature around these …?... holes\tank things, Sticky Horn did his best to fall in one, the Snitch was on hand, warning that she would be unforgiving to those who took the all too easy short-cut option.

The long course went a little too close to Airbus by all accounts, bad consciences of work left unfinished Friday afternoon no doubt, they also seem to have been sent up and down the breasts in the park by the photos (always a favourite). Once back and refreshed by the contents of the cool-boxes, a circle was called which we daintily formed due to dog poo in the vicinity. Deep Shag and Easy Wipe looking a little red either from the sun or the long wait next to chilled beer were congratulated on their trail and felled their beers.

Some lucky virgins probably called Bob, Caroline and Nicky were introduced. Bob and whichever name was his wife having driven a long way to join us, and the one that wasn't his wife on a short break visiting some other hashers whom I've also forgotten.

With that all cleared up we then went into mass punishment mode with nearly the whole circle pulled in the middle, Lapdancer trying to look trendy in a non hash t-shirt, Coffee-Bean for a long over due F.R.B.ing offence, Sticky Horn for falling in the thing. Short-cutters were John, Dominatrix and Queen Munchkin and last of all Lyes for wearing new shoes which Taupeless took particular offence with.

A special birthday Down Down was called due to Easy Wipe reaching a nice round 50 years of age and seen as it was in fashion Sticky Mermaid and Lapdancer joined him as their b-days were close by.

The Hash Hymn as ever finished things off.

On On everybody
