Hares: Recharge & GB

A couple of days prior to the Hash, I got a phone call from GB in need of some pot! I did try to explain that I wasn’t a dealer when I realised it wasn’t that sort of pot – it was for the cooking of the curried lentil soup!

With three days of solid rain it wasn’t looking too good for these virgin hares to be setting any trail. Fortunately, the RA made sure the skies cleared up that morning but even that wasn’t good enough for the majority of those slack a*se fair weather hashers – we had a lowish turnout of 22ish hashers (a very imitate group – too bad you missed out!).

We ventured out from Recharge & GB’s abode, across a little bridge in Pine Park, joining back onto the other part of Read St and down Livingstone St. We soon reached Butler St where I had seen an arrow past my house which didn’t go nowhere. Lazy Prick had gone down to Gympie St in search for trail, whereas Kaffir was told it would go past Breathless’ house, took the correct trail down Spinnaker St. We did go past Red Knob’s house on Crank St, then through Goodwin Park to Cullinane St and Werin St. Along George & Moorindil Streets was the Calvary Nursing Home where we came across the runners and walkers split. It would’ve been just a short stroll back for the walkers, whereas the runners went on down Hay St, past On & Off’s house to the magnificent impromptu drink stop at Kaffir’s place. The next hasher’s house we past was Treadie’s then heading down Tait St, through the back of Riverlands Noosa Retirement and back home down Read St.

No name Sue (who got named shortly thereafter) gave the walkers report. She thought it was like a Goldilocks run, as it was not too long, not too short, but just right and scored it an 8.5! Kaffir scored it a 7.5, being a great little run of just over 5km with a few more nocks and crannies than his run last week for Larrikins which was a mammoth 8.5km and of course there was a great drink stop for the runners!

The down downs were:

• Long Prong for impersonating All Fours – having fallen over, he had scars that would have been on his knees but as he wore long compression socks, the scars were about 10cm down from the knees but standing next to All Fours it’s her knee height!

• Drug charges for: GB for not having any ‘pot’ available at the rave; Kaffir being the pot dealer/grower; Recharge & All Fours who were responsible for watering & looking after the pot, let the whole crop die!
• On & Off – she didn’t know what day it was and not realising it was a Hashing night was about to take the dog for a walk when Licorice Nipples reminded her. She prompted shoved the dog back inside the house and came to the hash instead!

• Treadie’s hash challenge for identifying an object made of black spongy rubber with 2 straps that clipped together. There were all sorts of kinky names and suggestions but we still don’t know what it is!

• No name Sue finally got named: ‘Be Prepared’. A few weeks ago she had a handbag that had everything inside but tonight she had a backpack that suggested that she was ‘ready for anything’, ‘has anything you want, just name it’, ‘it’s got everything in there except the kitchen sink’ and apparently you can ‘stay forever young’ by putting weights into your backpack!

The raffle was drawn by our newly named hasher and was won by Mother Trucker.

With the fabulous fire going, we feasted on some YUMMY lentil curried/aroma filled/spicy soup with warmed Turkish baked bread. But wait, there’s MORE – we had Tiramisu for dessert! Thank you so much for your hospitality, food and trail Recharge & GB – no longer virgins!

Hares: Combined Sunshine Coast Hash

As we were heading south of Noosa to the outer suburbs, we thought, what bloody idiots would go out in this weather? A deluge of condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls from the sky, due to gravitational pull, rain I mean! ???? When we gathered at the start, the ‘fair weather’ hashers were noted by their absence – wankers! The ‘die hards’ of approximately 19, supported our joint venture with Sunshine Coast H3, who numbered around 22’ish. Luckily Wonky had cunningly slipped the rugby club bosses a $50 note, so we could use their covered area and we needed it. Wrong Way was our hare for the night and preceded to inform, everyone of the great trail he’d set, including a drink stop too.

Needless to say, there was no real trail, or marks but the throng set off regardless. Into the darkness they meandered across the footy fields, to the amusement of the juniors training. That look of bewilderment on their young faces, as this long line of old farts with torches and umbrellas, chatting away, some calling and some just ambling, into the bush behind the footy fields. They must’ve thought they let out the whole retirement village on a night excursion. We followed everyone else in front of us like lambs to the slaughter! There was a lot of toing and froing in the park when Weak As saw the ‘On Home’ trail and turned back. The whole group was then divided with some going left, right, across the road and some just stationary! Eventually the group crossed back over the busy road and headed towards the drink stop. It was only then, we actually saw arrows that were pointing in the opposite direction to the drink stop! After the drink stop, we saw the actual marked trail but we were following it backwards which was much easier to see than going the right direction! It was a rather quick little run, as hashers were soon back, coming in from all directions. Some apparently totally misread Wonky’s instructions and did the run backwards but still managed to return with the rest. All Fours managed a 3.5km stroll while Slurps registered 4.2km – she must have shorter legs?

Amazingly, by the time everyone returned the precipitation had stopped and a glorious night was upon us, for how long anybody’s guess. Nibbles were organised by Hoarder & Tailend, to satisfy the mob and accompany their imbibe. We all settled in for a moment of reflection, on the run and catch up with old mates, before Licker announced the first of three courses of our sumptuous feast was ready. A heartening chickpea curry soup prepared by Licorice Nipples was served and it was a very tasty. That followed, by a chicken or lamb curry on a bed of rice – yummy! Listening to all the mutterings around, it was very well received and we felt spoilt. “But wait there’s more”, Licker served up a caramel dumpling dessert with custard. These Harriettes should be applauded for their sumptuous feast they conjured up tonight.

The circle was called by Licker and the officiating began, with a combination of Weak As, All Fours and Licker presiding. Weak As, in his element ran a well conducted Sunny Coast circle, only pausing when Licker interjected with disdain! Wonky got a well deserved down, for a magnificent trail, set in trying conditions. The ‘three amigos’ got a down for the nosh and nibblies. Other down downs were for a selection of Sunshine Coast Hashers like Sir Kimby, Pontious and a few more to mention if we could remember their names or why they were charged! All Fours finally took over, tried to get some semblance of order but gave in and cracked a few jokes re. her Asian heritage. Something about “OH NO, NOT RICE AGAIN!!” and why Asians have slanty eyes. Eventually, even Weak As ran out of puff and the circle was concluded. In the blink of an eye, everyone was gone, rushing home to see ‘Farmer wants a Wife’.

In conclusion, a top night considering the weather. I didn’t do the run obviously, due to the red wine shortage or should I say ‘bloody’ GM locked it in her car, so I had to go to Dan Murphy’s instead!

Date: Monday 29/5/23

Location: Tewantin

Hares: Mother Trucker & Kaffir

A rather select group of hashers gathered at the Wooroi Day Use Area, located opposite the Carramar Aged Care. A rather surprising location (well, to me anyhow as a relatively newcomer) in Tewantin which is essentially in the bush. Kaffir did not disappoint with runners and walkers trails and no traffic to contend with!

Initially, it was a little slow going with many checks, the walkers doing a lot of stationary checks but eventually the lovely trails lead to open spaces, going up and down and a lot of running to do. On many occasions, we had to run through Kondom and Minder taking up the whole path as they were busy chatting and walking. The pack soon petered off with the runners and walkers split. Lazy Prick led most of the way with Next Week, All Fours and Nafa lagging behind. There were the Glider, Wooroi and Powerline Tracks, which are excellent walking and mountain biking trails. We didn’t see much wildlife, apart from hashers but there were two bike riders.

All the walkers and runners seem to come in together as it was getting dark. The walkers report was given by Insultan who loved my well marked off trail of tiny arrows on little stones – there wasn’t much real estate to put marks on in the first place! The runners report was given by Next Week, who said the first bit that Mother Trucker set was perfect and the rest was shit. A great 6km run with a 96m elevation gain, in the bush and back under an hour!

Charges for the week were for:

• Ma’ Dog & chip off the old block son, Mad Cock – who claims he doesn’t swear, drink or take after his old man!
• Graham (visitor) who has hashed in different places before, saw chalk marks in Tewantin and knew it must’ve been the hash. He also lives near to a bloke called Russell aka Whinger
• Nafa, who will be going away for months, sang his own goodbye song
• Hoarder & Tailend were absent for 3 weeks travelling around the ‘STANS’ i.e. Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan (I did have to look them up to spell them!)
• Biggles is a talented hasher who is ambidextrous – he can use two torches at the same time with his left and right hand! He claims he took two torches on the run, as one was for the visitor, when in fact he didn’t need any at all!
• Dance experts: Ma’ Dog doing the Nutbush City last weekend away while Beams was doing the Brooklyn Shuffle as he pulled a hammie and was shuffling along the trail tonight
• All Fours – when Wet Check pointed out that she put on the Hash Trash the run date was 1st June when it was only 29th May. Beams said everyone else noticed but were too polite to say anything…

As it got darker and colder, some lovely hot Ham & Pea soup with garlic bread was served! Thanks to Mother Trucker and Kaffir for this weeks hash frivolities as we were done and dusted and out of the park by 6:30pm!

A touch of déjà vu… Date: Monday 15/5/23 Location: Tewantin Hares: Screamer & Unremarkable It’s the sense or feeling of having previously experienced something that really has been encountered before. Here we are back in Tewantin, Griffith Ave, fire, Ma’ Dog – there’s some sort of weird connection going on. The moment we stepped out onto Griffith Ave, the runners and the walkers were already divided with the walkers going one way and the runners in the opposite direction. The runners did a massive 2.5km loop from Griffith Ave, Park View Ct, through the Heritage Park Bushland, Carramar St and Golf Course Dr. Fortunately, there were a number of runners: Nafa, Next Week, All Fours, Recharge, Lech, Beams, Miss Bossy Boots, Biggles and Lazy Prick as there many checks and on backs to contend with. From each check, the arrows were very sparsely marked for at least 500m apart until we counted 3 in a row to be on! With the runners having done their first loop, there was another loop joining onto the walkers trail along Golf Course Dr, Harry’s Short Cut, Homestead Dr, through Daintree Park and back along Golf Course Dr to home. We did manage to catch up with Slurps and Possum who led us back onto trail over the creek. There was a surprise drink stop of ginger beer along the way, manned by Unremarkable who was a little delayed in getting to the drink stop as he was trying to light the fire but had to pour some white spirits onto it and left it with Screamer in charge. If I remember correctly, back in Feb on Ma’ Dog & Screamer’s run he also gave up with the rice half cooking and left it with Screamer to deal with it. Upon arriving home, there was a fabulous fire to welcome us – so warm and toastie! Omo gave the walkers report – a very nice well marked run from virgin reporter to virgin hares while Beams gave the runners report. A most delightful run of 5.56km which took under an hour with the walkers and runners returning the same time. Here’s some charges for the week: Breathless tried to give ‘No Name Sue’ a name as he was showing us her bag packed full of everything – ready for all occasions. Perhaps some names along the lines of: Girl Guide, Boy Scout, Ready for Anything, Ready for Action, Mrs MacGyver? Recharge had a gash on his forehead – not one but a fresh one in the same place when he walked into his metal trailer – didn’t he learn the first time? Hashers absent for a while: Omo, Lazy Prick, Mad Dog and Floosie Hashers away at Darwin Nash Hash: Licker (during the Red Dress run, an indigenous woman in the streets watching fancied an old overweight hasher’s red dress that she started to give chase, Holy Smoke (gave a synopsis of a well organised event, with the next one in Fremantle), Mother Trucker and Slurps Red Knob who now proudly handles the Beer Meister duties, in his last haul of recycling cans and bottles from the hash p*ssheads was $400!  After trying the Lorry Boys beer, he thought was a bit ‘sissy’ and would rather drink VB – made for real men! Raffle was won by Dennis the Menace (yet to be officially named!) What a great night, great trail, great food (chili con carne to warm us on the insides), great fire and great company! I don’t know why Ma’ Dog was so worried for this virgin hare as Unremarkable had it all under control with Screamer in charge. Thanks for your hospitality! On On All Fours

Hares: Ma’ Dog, Delilah & Scrumpy

With Bundy and Boobs away on vacation, Ma’ Dog had a very cunning plan of cleverly disguising a ‘housewarming party’ with a hash run! Even with the past few days of torrential rain, it didn’t dampen his enthusiasm of throwing the party of the year!

There were only the ‘hardy’ party hashers that turned up, not the wimpy ones that were afraid of getting their hair or shoes wet. Even Miss Belinda Snogs who’s not a regular Noosa Hasher came along. About ten minutes before the start, Nafa armed with chalk went out to reset trail. The hashers waited patiently for another twenty minutes until there was a slight clearing in the rain. The majority stayed behind as the Hash Bar was declared OPEN while the seven hashers that went for a quick stroll with umbrellas were: Woof Woof, Top Down, Miss Bossy Boots, Ride On, All Fours, Screamer and Unremarkable. A 2km around the block along Blackheath Dr, Furness Dr, St Andrews Dr, Linksland St and back home to Cambuca Ct. Sadly, trail that had been marked by Delilah and Ma’ Dog numerous times and remarked by Nafa was all washed out!

Returning from the walk, we could hear the stereo cranked up, blasting fab hits from the 70’s to the 80’s such as The Trammps – ‘Disco Inferno’, Talking Heads – ‘Burning Down the House’, Billy Joel – ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’, just to name a few. The housewarming party was just getting started, I hope the neighbours won’t complain too much…

Woof Woof gave the run report with a 10 out of 10 score! The stand in Song Meister was Next Week belting out a few down down songs for:

• Biggles – he hasn’t been at the hash for ages but has promised that he will coming fortnightly
• Nafa – reset trail but we all wondered when he would return (when he realised it was raining or when he ran out of chalk?)
• Delilah & Scrumpy – virgin hares but were under the expert guidance of an old hand, Ma’ Dog
• Woof Woof & DT – another lot of hashers off for 6 weeks holiday up North to Carpentaria, where no one is around (I guess they have to dispose the dead bodies somewhere right?!)
• Ma’ Dog – celebrated his 71st birthday. In true style he spared no expense and offered port all around (the $6 bottle variety!)

A huge thanks for Ma’ Dog, Delilah and Scrumpy for hosting an awesome party and serving such scrumptious curries – these hashers have been spoilt.

One of my favourite songs that I haven’t heard in a long while until tonight, was pumping from the dancefloor. I’m going to leave you with some lyrics from the second verse which I thought was quite apt:

‘Burning Down the House’ – song by Talking Heads in 1983

Hold tight
Wait ’til the party’s over
Hold tight
We’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Location: Peregian Beach

Hare: Long Prong

Just as we were recovering from Saturday’s Coronation Pub Crawl and the celebrations of the long drawn out Coronation Ceremony shown on TV, we already have an award. The award is the OBE (Order of the British Empire) where the King awards the honour. Well, in this instance it was the hare, Long Prong’s 80th birthday OBE (Over Bloody Eighty)!

The trail started at the Peregian Park where we were instructed by the hare that the trail would be marked in white, blue, pink and magenta chalk. The walkers went off one direction and the runners in another. A big loop for the runners led us back near the start which was kind of in an ‘8’shape (if you squint your eyes). We ferreted around the Peregian Beach Park forages in the scrub trying to find trail. Nafa and Weak As went off towards the beach and that was the last we saw of Nafa! Finally, Next Week and Lech found trail through a building site, across the road and up a pathway.

We saw Weak As again who managed to do the long loop back from Lorikeet Drive while Miss Bossy Boots lead Kaffir and Jungle Jim back home after failing to find trail at the check. Lech, Beams, Next Week and All Fours continued the trail until we saw an arrow marked with ‘H’ and another with ‘B’. We took the ‘H’ trail home but was hoping that the ‘B’ could have been bucket rather than beach!

Lech gave the run report which he thought the trail was a little confusing with colour blinding, every colour of the rainbow chalk, but it did keep us all together! Long Prong was ably assisted by Dennis the Menace, but we weren’t sure who used which colour to set the trail.

We had a visitor, Jungle Jim from Sydney Posh Hash who had ran with Noosa Hash a long time ago. He only remembered that there was a large crowd and afterwards going back to someone’s house to watch porn on a Betamax! Whistleblower gets first dibs for the next time someone has to sit on ice as she was sliding on her backside during her walk in the National Park, however she managed to get all the splinters out. Top Down took the charge for Miss Bossy Boots who went home early as she invited us home while on the run but told us not to tell her Mum! Nafa got charged for being very quiet which is unlike him, so Kaffir and Possum sung him a Silent Night made up hash song. Dennis the Menace (who doesn’t actually have a real hash name – mmmmmm) said that he enjoys reading the Hash Trash but his wife enjoys it more! Apparently, this is where she finds out what he gets up to (he’s not the Messiah, he’s just a very naughty boy!).

Long Prong was awarded his OBE down down by Licker who said that she wants to be just like him when she reaches that age. Much to everyone’s protest that they don’t want her to start growing a beard or an appendage! With cool temperatures of 14oC, supper was cooked by Mrs Long Prong – chili con carne with extra chilli flakes on the side to warm us up and even an 80th birthday cake! Thank you very much hares – Long Prong and Dennis the Menace and Mrs Long Prong for catering!

BTW: just to see if you’ve been paying attention or even bother to read this run report, the trail tonight ran along twelve streets that are named after birds (Rufous, Kingfisher, Pelican, Ibis, Grebe, Plover, Shearwater, Jacana, Lorikeet, Oriole, Greenshank and Jabiru).

Date: Monday 1/5/23

Location: Sunshine Beach

Hares: Chanter & Clairvoyant

Here we are back at Ed Webb Park so soon, but don’t worry as it’s not what you think as promised by the hare! A sizeable group of hashers appeared this week as there was no rain, just a little cooler – after all we are approaching WINTER!

We all headed off parallel to the Coastal Track to the Noosa National Park which soon separated the walkers and runners. There was the stairway to heaven as we went up the Seaview Terrace climb, along Sunshine to Abay and then the Nudie Escape – the Alexander Bay Track. Weak As lead the way but when we approached the bifurcation on Alexander Bay Track we didn’t see any arrows, so he told Next Week and All Fours to take the left fork. No wonder Chanter came along for the run, obviously not trusting the runners for taking shortcuts, hence only Nafa and he did the real full trail.

Fortunately, the runners found flour blobs again as we saw Lech and Licker, the fast walkers join the trail. It was starting to get dark but near the end of the National Park was Clairvoyant with a ‘lemonade’ drink stop. We were soon back onto the streets and downhill on Belmore Terrace heading home!

The runners trail was 5.74km with an elevation gain of 178m. The run report by given by Ride On who was a little traumatised by so many arrows and gave a brown noser score of 9.999 for such a well marked trail. This was somewhat different to a fortnight ago when Ride On’s trail was washed out by rain, however Blameless said he saw an old arrow from his run (I think Blameless should’ve gone to Spec Savers!).

Digit Digester bought along a virgin – Daryl. She insisted he was too slow and then went too fast only to lead him in the wrong direction! A few hashers who have been absent for a while were Treadie (a lot of hashing in NZ), Shazza (just because, no excuse), Dun Rootin’ (been away but did win the Iron Woman!). Reverse Thrust was not only late but was wasting good cold beer by pouring it down All Fours’ leg – not quite the same as a warm wet feeling down the leg! Blameless was having a good old whinge about starting much earlier as it getting too cold and  for all those wimpy hashers. We soon shut him up when he won the raffle but that didn’t stop everyone from knicking his chocolate bars! Possum sung at least 2 songs with ‘arseholes’ – she must know that there are a lot of arseholes in the hash!

Thanks for scenic tour in Sunshine Beach – Chanter and Clairvoyant! On on to another beach next week…

Licker leads us on loops along the liver (river)… Run #2240 – Monday 24 April 2023 Hare: Licker Location: Noosaville As we gathered in the carpark of the Villa Noosa Hotel, there was quite a bit of money transactions going on with the Hash Cash. Your Noosa H3 committee wanted to give back to our fabulous members with a subsidised run appropriately hared by our GM, Licker. The trail took us through the very desirable real estate of Noosa Waters, namely along Mermaid Quay. There were many checks to keep the group together, with Minder doing a lot of stationary checks and of course many reluctant walkers to check any checks and just awaiting others to call! There was an enthusiastic Lunatic that did manage to suss out a few checks though! Soon, there was the walkers and runners split. The runners trail lead us along Hilton Terrace only to loop back along the Hilton Esplande. As we were running along Gympie Terrace, there was a fast white car passing with Kaffir shouting obscenities out the window at us. We knew that he was heading to the Villa Noosa Hotel where he thought the bucket was. Kaffir visited the Villa Noosa Hotel twice and still couldn’t find anybody so he rang All Fours. The runners managed to catch up with the walkers along the Noosa River near Quota Park. Tucked away behind the Noosa Riverside Tennis courts was the BUCKET! It was a very scenic sunset by the Noosa River to host the bucket, but we had to compete with the squawking birds overhead, wind, traffic and constant nattering of the hashers! A very domesticated Licker cooked a batch of delicious sausage rolls to nibble. There were a number of visitors: Mr & Mrs Biggles from East Grinstead (on holiday from Blighty), Sue (no one made her cum) and Jane (Kaffir’s neighbour over the fence). A very short succinct run report was given by Roobarb. Birthday down downs were given to DT and Kaffir. There was a short 650m walk back to the Villa Noosa Hotel for the On Inn for a relatively early dinner. Thanks for the run our illustrious GM, Licker! On On to Sunshine Beach again next week and may the weather gods be kinder this time…

Rain no wet us (fair weather hashers!)…

Run #2239 – Monday 17 April 2023
Hare: Ride On & Pusher
Location: Sunshine Beach

The diehards of Noosa H3 turned up tonight, even with the threat of precipitation and running (ambling at best ????) by torchlight, whilst the no-shows sat in the comfort of their abodes watching Home & Away most probably, supping on a nice glass of red! We gathered at Eddie Webb’s Park, adjacent to the Sunshine Beach SLSC, eagerly awaiting instructions from our two ‘visitors’ Ride On and Pusher. We had to hold onto our hats, as the wind coming up through the gully (Venturi effect for the smart arses) was force4. Good job Digit wasn’t here, she’d have been blown away, into the next suburb.

The Hares said there was a slight problem, they set it yesterday and rain had fallen but assured us, they’d checked today and all was good. ???? After that BS flogging, they continued to tell us that the run was up Crank Street but there might not be any arrows at the end ???? So we set off in pursuit of our imaginary trail. As we lost trail immediately we sort of spread out, with the usual runners vanishing and ‘not’ calling. Eventually, Ma’ Dog found a semblance of a check and faint arrows to the right on Henderson. Next Week and All Fours caught up and we actually ignored the only good arrow and headed up Duke St, only to be called back by Bundy. Up the stairs by Crystal Shores to Elanda St, going right to the intersection on Ferguson. Here they all were (the walking fraternity) milling about in all directions but arrows were scarier than ‘Holysmoke’ buying you a drink at the Yacht Club. Not a skerrick of chalk in any form was found, so like ‘pigs to a trough’ and their yearning for sustenance, someone mentioned that the drink stop was nigh. Up Duke St, still checking for arrows but who were they trying to fool, as no one gave a ‘rats ass’ by then. As we turned up Ferris St, low and behold a clear arrow was laid before us.

Ride On was patiently awaiting in his palace driveway but not expecting us quite that early. You’d think by the way hashers attacked the drinks, they’d just run a marathon but they were free after all! Ride On attempted to gain a little respect for his not so well marked trail, by informing us, that the trail was out of Ferris and left up Bryan St to David Low. Some did, some didn’t, I mean really! Why go left uphill, when you can go right down hill, all the way back to the chariots and bucket. By the way, it was Kondoms idea not mine! ???? Not long after the ‘led astrays’ got back, the rest arrived after their arduous 35 minute jaunt.

With the wind still howling, we adjourned to a gazebo down the hill, for the circle and nosh, supplied by Pusher. We had a visitor from Darwin, who now resides here, reasoning being, she said there were no hills in Darwin. Someone said her name was ‘Thresher’ but her number plate said ‘Zebra’, so which ever one takes your fancy. The usual charges abounded, some well thought out, with the usual lame ones added. Blameless having the best for Next Week and All Fours for their new song renditions, putting Rodgers and Hammerstein to shame. A good night after all, so thanks to Ride On and Pusher for entertaining and feeding us. Special out to ‘Holysmoke’ for doing the Raffle and winning it again, something real suss there! ???? The committee again, amazed us with their organisational skills and well run circle, we just didn’t know what they’d do next, mind you neither did they! ????

Mixin’ me toasties for Easter

Run #2238 – Monday 10 April 2023
Hare: Wet Check & Kondom
Location: Bli Bli

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, you’ll be the grandest hasher in the Easter Parade… Well there certainly were quite a few bunnies that rocked up but the Easter bonnets was won by Possum and Kaffir in their ‘matchy matchy’ outfits! The run was an earlier start at 4:30pm in Bli Bli but there was only one white rabbit, namely Miss Belinda Snoggs who went to visit a friend in hospital (so she says!). At the start, the hares’ instructions was “something, something, something BIFURCATION”. Why do people think that hashers actually listen to instructions, let alone understand big words like ‘bifurcation’ – otherwise known as a forkin’ the road!

The trail led us onto the Bli Bli Bridge over the Maroochy River and past the Sunshine Castle which is for sale!  We encountered a number of parks: Princess Drive Park, Wharf Road Drainage Reserve, Cutters Ridge Park and of course Muller Park! There were numerous number of checks, on backs, runners and walkers splits to keep us all entertained and together most of the time. There must have been a feeding frenzie in Bli Bli – the mozzies were out in force as Next Week managed to count 80 bites on one shoulder (they apparently managed to bite through his long sleeve top!).

A summarised run report was delivered by Woof Woof, who scored it 2/10 because there was no drink stop. However, do not fear as we had Tailend who kept everyone well lubricated with down down drinks. There were 4 visitors: Honeymoon and Donga from Thailand, Banger (Floosey’s bro) and Miss Belinda Snoggs. Nafa surprised everyone with a new shop he had opened in Bli Bli called ‘Master Baits’ or was it ‘Bait Masters’ for fishing tackle/supplies?! Digit Digester got a down down from Plucker as she got upset that he had taken the front passenger seat of Ma’ Dog’s car.

Banger managed to keep us all entertained with his joke about a poor little bunny (portrayed by All Fours – hopping around) who died and went to heaven after ‘mixin’-me-toasties!’ The raffle was drawn by Honeymoon and it was deservedly won by our DSI – Holy Smoke! Holy Smoke apologises if anyone gets cold symptoms after the hash (too bad, bonus if you get sick!) – she felt better yesterday…

Thanks to our bunnies (hares) Wet Check and Kondom for the Easter run, chocolate eggs and supper (no ham, cheese and onion toastie were served)! May that poor bunny RIP…
