Run 952 - 10 Dec 2006
Run 952 - Entrerrios- Marks 9 - Sunday 10th Dec
Hares – Flakey & 5 Mil
After Flakey’s complaints of no checks at last weeks run, this weeks run was billed as
Flakeys: Pre-Christmas Run.
(It doesn’t get better than this)
Well you won’t get a better run than this in beautiful countryside but has Flakey forgotten what the Hash is? The Hash is not a run. A Hash is meant to have lots of checks enabling the slow runners to catch up with the FRB’s but this run also had very few checks to keep the pack together.
Around 40+ hashers turned up at Entrerrios and fairly promptly at 3:42pm we were set off. Up an over a couple of hills to the first of the few checks. The trail went left but by this time the pack was well and truly split up. We continued up and over a few hills before ending up on a contour path which brought us along a ridge above the next check. Here Dipper thought of short cutting down to a path on the right but thought better of it and continued to the check.
Here most people saw the river down to the left and headed that way. The trail however went right along a trail before heading down a steep shiggy path and the inevitable river crossing. We must have crossed that river 25 times as we zigzagged back and forth, crawling under prickly bushes and fallen trees, along the banks. Eventually we emerged from the undergrowth at the bottom of a steep slope where the only way was up but with the welcome sight of the Beer Stop at the top.
This was Flakey’s saving grace, mulled wine and mince pies. Fantastic! At the BS stop hashers compared their injuries from the river crawl, scrapes here and scratches there. Eggshell Blond showed off his new designer style ripped t-shirt where the thorns had torn the very expensive material. Then it was ON ON for the second half of the run, just as Up Yer Bum emerged from the undergrowth and she wasn’t smiling!
The second half tho’ only a quarter of the length of the first half had the same number of checks as the first. After a lot of to’ing and fro’ing along various rough tracks we saw the road ahead and the welcome sight of the On In, where more mulled wine was on offer.
Back at the run site the local ranger arrived and informed Flakey that we had been trespassing and that we shouldn’t be on that land. So he said we’re sorry and that we wouldn’t do it again. Well not until the next time!
The mulled wine continued to flow and the circle was held by Stiff Fanny in the absence of the GM. Dipper and Flakey also cleansed the Hash of sinners and christened 5 people.
Aase – to be known as Extras

Then it was off to the On On for food and lots of singing by Dipper.
