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. If you have a genuine gripe, bring it up with everyone, don't make snide comments!

Dingus's Grasse
As the final preparations for the run were made, the beermeister
explained that he'd tempted fate a couple of weeks ago be saying that
he hadn't hurt his back for 2 years. This was clearly a damn stupid
thing for him to have said because in the process of preparing for the
run he had managed to do it in again. "Greater dedication hath no man
that he fuck up his back for the hash" as some book ought to say
somewhere.
Anyway a good crowd of people showed up for the nether Grasse run
starting at Grasse station (not to be confused with Padre's Haggis hunt
in upper Grasse which will be next time). After a brief explanation of
the meanings of various marks for the virgins the pack was off
with the walkers getting to climb the 39 steps and then another 39 plus
lots of places where there ought to have been steps. The runners
meanwhile did a gentle ascent in the opposite direction following the
hare who laid this part of the trail fresh. Eventually the gentle
ascent led to a gentle descent and then to another series of steps,
these ones going down. After the check at the bottom the pack found
itself running back to the start and heading up the 39+... steps that
the walkers had started off with. After an in depth tour of an HLM the
runners got utterly confused running through a rather nicer block of
flats and then found the first check of a series where the true trail
led approx 175° from the check. There were lots of falsies
to keep
everyone amused though and the "first shall be last and the last first"
was the case quite frequently. In this it helped that the FRBs appeared
to be primarily Perpetch and Sadist, neither of whom was good at noting
a lack of flour. It it had been just them no one would have been too
bothered but unfortunately they led our new runner, Jorg, astray with
them. Fortunately Jorg is training for the London Marathon and
welcomed the extra kilometers
Eventually we arrived at the buried "Canal" and something vaguely like
shiggy. Again the FRBs buggered off into the far distance where flour
was not and even Cumalot the walking wounded was suckered into one
false. Finally the strays were gathered together to witness Dire-rear
commit sacrilege by whipping the hare and GM and not too much later,
after Bozo had rejected the disgisting tennis ball Pedo thought would
be a suitable plaything, a final descent of steps led to the road to Le
Clerc and the Beer Check in the car park thereof.
While consuming refreshment it was noted that the FRBs had run nearly
7km, the hare had run about 4.5 and the walkers had done a hair over
2.5. Despite the difference in distance the walkers, however, only
arrived at the Beer Check a few minutes ahead of the runners. Finally
it was time to leave and the runners did. The walkers, however, were
delayed by certain of their party with small bladders who decided to
abuse the nearby MacDonald's facilities. The runners had fun running up
a hill and finding a check or two before coming across the aquaduct of
doom. Or at least the aquaduct that scares the shite out of
acrophobics. Once that little fun was passed the trail briefly deviated
from the canal at a devious check before returning and then heading up
to the railway past a place that makes Synthetic Orgasms - Pedo
informed those in earshot that he is the person to ahh come to if you
want the natural, manual article. The runners thought they were on
home, but they weren't. After the usual misleading false trails Two cheeky,
Dire Rear and Bozo were briefly FRBs as we ascended a mount of olives.
The trail then went up and down a bit to lead us to the quality
redevelopment area of Grasse before descending dogshit tunnel and the set
of stairs that the runners had first descended.
A fairly swift circle was held beginning with a tribute to the hares,
Dirty Dingus and his spouse, Sud Sucker, and during which the Contessa
received
numerous mentions for flashing, studying on trail, returning in a new
sylphlike figure with a mere 27% fat and
so on. Various other trail offenses were noted amongst the runners:
Perpetch and Sadist were awarded long-cutting awards for heading off
trail repeatedly and excessively; Two Cheeky and an absent Dire Rear
were observed walking deliberately through a check and Two Cheeky was
also volunteered to drink the Dire Rear's down downs for whipping the
hare as Dire Rear, Toss Pot and their dogs decided to leave early.
Dingus was awarded a down down for forgetting the words to the down
down song he had just sent oput on email. Curiously the walkers claimed
they had been paragons of virtue although there were 4 notable small
bladder wards: Knicker Licker and Skinny A were seen polluting the
trail and giving the tramps of Grasse a nice view and Ruth NoName and
Jingle Balls were also awarded for abusing McDonald's hospitality. A
number of people (Contessa, Anne of Cleavage (?), Jobsworth, Sadist,
Pedo ) were noted to be mugless, all claimed their mugs were in their
cars which were some distance away, but only Jobsworth turned out to be
telling the truth. And a couple of people were given some sort of down
down for Australia day - Knicker Licker and Jobsworth.
In addition to Contessa, the following were recognized for returning after an absence: Polyandra, PreStressed, Skinny A,
Confusion, Virgin Mouth, Serge Goulamaly.
There were also three virgins John & Joan, Jorg Gruben
Eventually,
despite the nomination of the absent Sneaky Bastard, Dirty Dingus was
awarded the coveted Shit of the Week down down (by the way what's
happened to the SoW T shirt ?) for not giving recognition to his cohare
and those who were dining formed up
in convoy more or less to head to the Vignal for our repast - except
that is for Fairy Plunger and Ruth who detoured to look at some
property and showed up rather late.
