French Nash Hash 2006. Friday 22nd September - Sunday 24th September. Presqu'ile de Giens 3 days of action packed Interhashing in Chiang Mai in 27-29 October 2006
Dingus leads Mr Pizza astray in Club Bed A clash of hash diaries had led to Absolutely Pathetic and Christelle tying the knot the night before in front of many past & present RHHH members before sealing it with an altitude walk this morning in the Domaine des Courmettes (scene of the Nash Hash a while back and Sadist living up to his name by leaving hashers on top of a cliff without a trail at sundown a few years later). So, by the time the hash was assembled, there was a motley crew of liquored allsorts, but missing Confusion who declined to attend following a fainting session in the aforementioned altitude hike. Off it was, then, on another blazingly (not so) hot Côte d'Azur August afternoon. Walkers followed Mr Pizza, on pain of getting lost as they had no flour to follow, whilst the runners went in the general direction of the tennis club where the on on was to be held. Surely the shortest run in RHHH history? Alas not, with FRBs being deviously tricked by Dingus into going the wrong way and ending up as back markers. At this point, a worrying trend appeared. We had visitors from assorted places on the West Coast of the USA. Whilst not (totally) together, they had the common point of putting us unfit "runners" to shame and actually using up some energy. Crikey, a circle nomination was clearly on the cards. Fortunately our very own Pedo upheld the RHHH tradition by standing on the checks as these Duracell bunnies used up their excess energy. Dingus was, for once, a remarkably kind hare. Not only did he keep the pack together, he sportingly admitted the right way at checks without too much of an ado. The trail, though was another story. I swear that there was about 1,000 metres of climb and no descent. This didn't stop No Satisfaction trying to impress our American visitors by showing her prowess running up steep hills whilst hungover, nor did it stop Ann Gael impressing us all by being the only one to run miles down a falsie just to avoid said hill. In the end, though (and very predictably) it was power walker Padre who maintained the lead over the pack. Finally it was time to end the hill climb and enter some vicious man eating brambles as a precurser to the beer stop. This at least had the effect of Pedo showing his Felicity Kendal side and remarking on the fantastic selection of berries he could cultivate. In the end, it was not to be, with his Good Life impersonation being limited to extracting thorns from Two Cheeky. The beer stop provided a welcome respite, particularly for the walkers, who had to endure Mr Pizza showing them the same dead rat twice. Take note if he ever invites you to a barbeque. Off it was after a while on the second half. Dingus was rather unsporting in that he actually made it last more than 5 minutes and, worse, directed the runners uphill through yet more brambles. Whilst Padre's power walking was slowed down here, visitors Where's Your Daddy and Rock Hard took it as yet another small part of their special forces training. At least they got their comeuppance when, circling Club Bed, they sailed on past the flour, with thoughts of which holidaymakers they could outrage. The runners & walkers met again back at the church for a well earned hair of the dog. In time honoured style, they then assembled for the down downs, which proceeded in their usual bawdy style. In fact, a protester joined the circle and started to accuse Procul of blasphemy, disgraceful behaviour, dragging down the good name of expats (he obviously had not noticed the French contingent) and general disregard for others. Procul invited him to join the circle for a beer, but, bizarrely, he declined and skulked away muttering to himself about the decline in manners etc, etc….. Down downs were awarded to many people and, as always, I cannot read Padre's writing, so apologies for the following misreporting: Hares Dirty Dingus & Mr Pizza Paodophil for new shoes Assessaguy for wanting to know if Pedo has a small one Who's your daddy & Rock Hard for competitive running Sneaky Bastard & Chris for returning Eager Beaver for a display of "breast practice" Lots of visitors including French Made, Who's Your Daddy, Rock Hard, Eager Beaver, Highs & Lowes, Goes Down Lowes, Beverly Hill and all others I have missed Didier named as Tosspot (a name that neither he nor any non Brit seems to understand; the French translation Branleur does not do it enough justice) SoW nominations to: Farty Bum & Chris for dereliction of duty Sud Sucker for trying to get a free run Etc……and you know what, I have forgotten who won! The circle ended and, looking at what I have written, I realise that I did not do justice to Who's Your Daddy, who managed to be awarded enough beer to keep Kronenbourg in business for years. Padre was noted to be miffed at the end of the down downs for having failed to register a conversation between No Satisfaction & Jobsworth who had, the previous Tuesday, respectively gone to watch Brentford v Huddersfield & Birmingham v Shrewsbury in the Carling Cup. What classy people they are! So off it was, then, to the tennis club for a fine meal and reminiscences on a long and totally unproductive but fun weekend. |
