HASH
FACTS
Hares go to a lot of time and trouble to set trails and organise on-ons. Please remember this before you start whingeing. Or better still, if you think you can do it better, set one yourself!

Run 518 - Procul's canal tour

It was a hot and sultry Sunday and the hashers sought shade for their vehicles when they arrived at the start. Some of them even claimed to be disabled so that they could get extra shade. Amazingly both Contessa and Too Cheeky showed up on time. Even more amazingly the number of runners was larger than the number of walkers. Big End tried to chat up some turkish looking people in posh german reg cars but they didn't want to have anything to do with rif-raf like her.

The start was in the Champion supermarket in Mougins which is not the nice posh bit but, as one might expect the hash went up in the world. Of course we started by dicing with death as we headed under the penetrante but the first check removed us from the dangerous traffic by taking us up. Had Procul put a false trail mark at the top he would probably have been lynched, but as it was we arrived at the Canal de la Siagne in search of oxygen masks but otherwise unscathed. Then there was a nice flat run along the canal with occasional checks at promising places where it looked like we could go up (or down). One of them maanged to get eeryone confused, a couple of others managed to sucker just the first two or three FRBs. Eventually, after we had nearly made it into the middle of Mouans Sartoux, we got to a check where the trail really did go back and up. Jobsworth got sidetracked by the walkers trail sometime about this point but eventually we all gathered up at a check at the top of the hill. There was a road leading right, at the end of which was a beer-car. Between the car and the pack there was, however, a false trail mark. Surely a cruel and unusual punishment for thirsty hashers? but apart from one lost on trail runner we all followed instructions and flour (more or less) and headed down and round to make a big additional loop. Eventually we reached the dead posh domain of Casterlleras and found flour leading us back on the road to the beer.

Needless to say the walkers were already there waiting for us. After a while the beer, panache, water etc was no longer inside the cooler but mostly inside the hashers and we headed off for home. The good bit was that home was downhill. The better bit was that the beercheck was a good 80% of the way around the trail.

Down dows were awarded to the usual suspects such as the hare for an excellent trail. Procul seems to be one of those hashers who shows up mainly when the hareraiser gets him to set a run, something which the rest of us greatly appreciate. Duck's Arse brought along his "Holy Running Shoes" and so we made sure they were properly sanctified by putting holy down down beer in them. Road runner was welcomed back after quite a long absence as were some other returners whose names escape me.

Run 519 - Jobsworth's $#!*ing Tourrettes Run

It was a hotter and sultrier Sunday and the hashers sought shade for their vehicles when they arrived at the start. Annette and her Canadian husband managed to park in the only spot that said "No Parking". On the way Dirty Dingus nearly ran Perpetch off the road but swerved toavoid him and took his back pack so that he could do the last few km unladen. When Perpetch showed up there was much admiration for the "Duck's Arse"ness of Perpetch's cycling shorts. It seems Perpetch is not above attempting baked-bean powered rocket assistance on some of his tougher rides.

Eventually we were nearly all present. Obvious absentees included the hare(s), the beer master and Farty Bum to collect the money. Thanks to the preparedness of Pedo we were not to fussed about the lack of beer master and just as we were beginnig to wonder if we would have a remarkably short and free run both hare and Farty Bum showed up. It was at this point that Dirty Dingus realized he'd managed to leave his running shoes behind in his haste to get out of the house and terrorise Sunday afternoon drivers. Still he had a perfectly good pair of flip flops and thanks to a well laid trail he was not noticably slower than those wearing more conventional footwear, indeed for much of the trail the FRB was the power-walking Padre. The hare told us to start up hill and we did. As we started Smelly Poo showed up but for some reason she seemed unable to catch us up and was AWOL for the entire trail. The trail was mostly shaded but did seem to contain an awful lot of up. Eventually we reached a road and after a regroup we headed down down down to the town. Thanks to some excellent timing the runners caught up with the walkers just before we entered the car park with the beer car in it. Beer was consmed next to some very high quality automobiles that appeared to demonstrate the importance of wearing seatbelts.

After the beer check the runners were given a chance to examine the Relais des Coches from most angles before solving a check by heading down a nearly dry streambed. Apart from Dirty Dingus and Padre the runners decided to shortcut around the dried up waterfall in a disgracefull show of idleness. Thereafter the trail mostly descended until we hit the former railway line and then it headed back. Padre and Perpetch did the power-walking thing and left the rest of us in the dust. Eventually we all ended up at the start and it was time for down downs. Despite the fact that the road in question was a cul de sac, there were a lot of cars who thought that it led somewhere interesting so proceedings were interrupted from time to time to let them past.

Down downs were awarded to the usual suspects, and Farty Bum used her second get out of beer coupon to escape one of them. During the circle Farty Bum's excuse for being late was revealed. Her navigation skills were, apparently excellent, because rather than read the directions she decided to simply head to St Jeannet and look for the start. Eventually she realized that the run was not in fact starting in either St Jeannet or La Gaude and somehow she managed to get to Tourrettes. Smelly Pooh was welcomed back and names were bestowed upon Annette and Charles a.k.a Polyandra and X .

The hashhit was awarded to Dirty Dingus for failing to write hash trashes and other heinous offences. Eventually we ran out of excuses and headed off in convoy for the pool and barbeque chez Jobsworth & Never Cums. Almost all of us got there but the Contessa somehow managed to drop behind at a critical juncture and didn't. Food was excellent, the company more so and the pool was cool. Certain hashers were seen to be enjoying the water pistols although some seemed to have problems making them spurt - these were clearly the ex-spurt hashers.
