Run #2236 Maneating sized mozzies munch on unsuspecting hashers…
Run #2236 – Monday 27 March 2023
Hare: Maneater
Location: Sunrise Beach
The mozzies started way before the run at 4pm when Mozzie rang Next Week to ask for the location of the run was and if Rainbow Park was a new park in Sunrise Beach. Her excuse was that she didn’t have Google Maps on her phone and needed a hard copy version of the Refidex Street Directory.
What a fabulous trail it was from Rainbow Park, over the footbridge to Wavecrest Park and along Castaways Beach and up Sunrise Hill. Miss Bossy Boots was the front runner all the way with Beams following very closely on her heels. Kaffir, Lunatic, Beams, Good Things (no Groper as he’s got man flu), All Fours, Next Week and Lech were also out in front with the runners pack. Near the beach, I was surprised to see Unremarkable and Screamer on the trail ahead of me. I looked across the road and saw Slurps and Mother Trucker coming down the wooden steps which I flagged for them to short cut across the road. When I asked Unremarkable if the trail was set down the steps, he said “that was the trail set for people over 70 years old!” Mad Dog and Floosie were walking their pooches when one decided she had enough and sat down – apparently she’d already done the same walk earlier on the day.
The down downs was some weird concoction with healthy bits of carrots for the hashers to see better as the days are getting shorter and darker earlier. Flip Flop (Fat Controller’s brother) from Switzerland, got a special European down down beer from Weak As. Beams and Blameless could easily pass as brothers with wearing white hats and comparing lengths of beards. Apparently Blameless was hirsute when he was younger! Boobs was showing off his long battle scar around his knee and is not allowed to drive but can sit and drink instead.
Lunatic comes every fortnightly dressed in a very colour coordinated matchy, matchy fashion. Her excuse is that she has thrown out all her old hash gear – Bundy get selling! Licker had all her chains and whips returned to her from some wild night shenanigans. Thanks to Ma’ Dog as he gets a free drink for writing last week’s fab run report – you too can claim your next free drink but simply scribbling a few words together!
As we feasted on our dinner prepared by Maneater, so were the Mozzies feasting on the hashers! I did a roll call and countered at least 83 bites!
No Crutch, Licker, Red Knob and All Fours were playing on the children’s playground and slides – fortunately it was dark and no children were harmed at the time…
Thanks to the hare(s) – Maneater and Sukkon for a very scenic jaunty at the seaside!
