Around 70
or so people, or put it another way - 41 more than saw the match between Clydebank and
East Stirling on the opening day of the soccer season in Scotland - turned up on this
barmy evening. Having missed the last two hashes’ and therefore unaware
‘words’ existed on this hash a chance encounter with CLEPTO became my undoing as I tried to fob him off with my car
keys before the start, and paid the price.... The start saw the FRBs scatter in every
direction before the call was heard and we set off south along a minor road. With a lot of
pushchairs and children in tow we spread out far and wide like some nomadic Indian tribe
crossing the prairie, just as well we were not in BANDIT! country. We waited at the first regroup for an age and even the sight of BIG BOLLOX vaulting a stile in nibble fashion did little for the
FRBs impatience. After a little diversion through a wood and corn field we arrived at
another regroup. This time we were meant to split, the SCBs went one way while the FRBs
another. However that renegade TIMEKEEPER called On somewhere else and I followed in
hot pursuit only to meet the pack coming the other way by the bridge over the river. It
was here that one virgin hasher named MARTIN WARDERS (Age 10) ended up in the river, but whether BB did as well in an attempt to avoid the weak bridge is still a mystery.
By now everyone was hot and
bothered and at the next regroup the hares took pity on the FRBs by short cutting us
through a white line. After zig zagging our way past a village I came across TIMEKEEPER again, yes you guessed it running the
course backwards. Eventually after ten minutes of confusion and no flour PEARL ‘n’ DEAN picked up the trail which then became a 2
mile hike to the finish.
DOWN DOWNs were awarded
by the RA, HOGGY (with a little help from GBH) to:
The hares HAMLET and HEFFER
HEFFER (again) - the new super hero of the hash
....alias LAWNMOWER MAN famous for travelling the land using and

itself where he got lost.

TIGGER and RAM - Unnerving livestock
TURNCOAT - A visitor from the left side of the

We then rounded off a great
evening with lots of very tasty (and FREE!) curry, rice and chips at the pub.
