Run: #2266 – No WIMPS here…
Date: Monday 23/10/23
Location: Sunrise Beach
Hares: Be Prepared & Licorice Nipples (ably assisted by Miss Belinda Snogs)
Well, this week’s run certainly weeded out any WIMPS at the hash as only the hardy and elite types showed up. Too bad as it was a bl**dy great run at a great location, great food, great company, so you missed out BIG TIME!!!
The trail quickly led us into a patch of bush and we were warned that this is snake season so be wary! Through Rainbow Park and into the reserve we went, crossing over David Low Way and heading down to the beach. There were markings on the pavement WIMPS to take the road or onto the Coastal Track along the gorgeous sandy beach where all trails exit at #37. It was windy as hell, almost like dust storms in the desert (not that I’ve been in one, but you can imagine) as Licker and Lazy Prick led the fast pack. Meanwhile, Beams was motoring along in his usual ‘Ever Ready Bunny’ mode was constantly on our tails. Just after exit #37 we reached The Chalet Lookout where we were greeted with a Drink Stop and various sugary sweets and SNAKES alive! We passed many large houses, some with fabulous views of the sunset across the water, Orient Drive, Wollomia Way and into Comet Park. Following Lazy Prick through the park, we soon realised that there weren’t anymore arrows as he missed the vital HUGE arrow pointing across to a path that skirted around the side to the wide bushfire trail. This eventually led us home to Be Prepared’s abode, with a shiny new Colourbond fence, a chair and the back gate open, welcoming us home!
We gathered around the poolside in a semi odd shaped circle, with the GM and RA standing on the pool plinth. The walkers report was given by Ride On – there were huge big arrows, lots of checks, scenic, but took the ‘Wimps’ trail and not along the beach. The runners report was given by our returnee Beams, who has been absent for 3 months – a fabulous trail especially along the beach on the NOT Wimps trail with views and sunset in the distance. Long Prong was plenty please as he won the raffle, complete with his favourite beer, chocolate goodies and a replacement hash bag.
Down downs were served by Beer Wench Reverse Thrust to:
- Lazy Prick for well and truly deserving the Shit Stirrer Award, this award of all awards for being able to clear his nose on the beach without the wind blowing it onto Licker, was boasting that he was the first home, won the free drink, asked a stranger on the street if they saw any arrows and for directions!
- Screamer& Unremarkable for turning down last weeks opportunity of getting married but you would have thought they were like an old married couple for arguing and carrying on for ages on the trail
- Screamer for being the property mogul, built the original house of 7 Goldcrest Court which is now Be Prepared’s abode
- DT& Woof Woof for having moved from Tinbeerwah to Tewantin thought twice about coming to the hash tonight as they thought it was a little far to travel…
- Kaffir for not going to Salsa dance lessons tonight and choose to come hashing instead, (missed out on the better offer!) apparently Mrs Kaffir said the ‘girls’ were far too young for him! Also, he did ask what does ‘W. I. M. P. S.’ stood for that was marked on the trail
- Red Knob & Beams – Red Knob ducked into the bushes to water some plants when Beams told him to be wary of the snakes as he wasn’t sure how he would have to put a tourniquet on it or suck out the poison!
- Carrie(Digit’s ex neighbour) is our newest member! Mischievous Minty forms her email address and she has a cheeky grin, so you’d better start putting your hash naming hats on…
An awesome dinner was served – chicken skewers, roast tatties, focaccia, cauliflower bake and green salads. Oh, forgot to mention our ice cream dessert too! Thanks to the trio of harriettes – Licorice Nipples, Be Prepared and Miss Belinda Snogs for setting a fabulous trail – who cares whether there’s one arrow and not three after a check before you’re on as most hashers attention span doesn’t stretch that far anyhow. Many thanks for your hospitality Be Prepared – she did good as we didn’t sight any WIMPS tonight – it was those who didn’t come and missed out…
On On
