Hares – Streaky and Titanic
At – Loma del Flamenco (behind Mijas Golf)
THE BROKEN ANKLE RUN

This was a brilliant, sunny day and the start point was in an excellent location in the campo. All was ready … 37 hashers were waiting … but where was the RA? He arrived 20 minutes late, without apology, and then asked yours truly to be scribe!!! I'd been there 40 minutes by then! It was at this point that Stiffany proceeded to set haberdashery!!!

So ….... the hash eventually got started around half an hour late. It was the usual uphill down dale of most hashers. Many liked, it some didn`t. Some complained that the inclines were too steep. Well you can`t please em all. I thought it was an excellent run, well marked with varied terrain and about the right length. It eventually received a score of 7.4.

And talking of the circle, after arriving late, the GM left early ...and the RA!!!

So the GM Assist carried on courageously with only the most minimal of notice. The sun was about to go down so the circle began with several hashers still out on trail.

It has to be said that the circle was somewhat chaotic, with Titanic trying to influence the scores by doing what Titanic does ...tits and arse or what! People continued to come in from the trail, and Dogsy and Mary Hinge arrived by taxi!

But what transformed this hash and made it completely different from almost all the others was an most unfortunate accident.

Pussy Galore fell and broke her ankle!

Justin was a witness to this event. What follows is his account -

In brief, Pussy fell off a ledge - a rather tricky part of the trail, really - and started screaming loudly. I ran back and together with Lip Service pulled her out from the bushes and then managed to bring her to a flattish area where we could put her down - all this with yapping dogs jumping up against us.

Dipper then went on ahead to find a suitable place for the ambulance to arrive and phoned 911. He co-ordinated most of the rescue operation from there on. Quicksand, Sweet and Low, Lip Service and I stayed with Pussy for a while, but then I went to where the group was waiting for the ambulance to see if anyone had any pain-killers. It turned out that Chilly Pepper had some iboprufeno - and had had this on her when she was standing next to Pussy earlier on - so I tried to get back to give the painkiller to Pussy but got hopelessly lost in the bushes and finally ended up at the Beer Stop on a failed mission.

The others stayed with Pussy throughout and kept her warm, although Quicksand took the opportunity to make a photo documentary of the whole thing... Lip Service was freezing throughout all this, as they had all given their sweaters to Pussy, only to find out later on that she had had her jacket in her rucksack all the time.
Afterwards, Brown Skid volunteered to drive Pussy's car to Calahonda together with Sweet and Low, while Quicksand accompanied Pussy to the hospital. Apparently she is going to be operated on tonight (Monday 7 Jan) and is now waiting for a call, while jabbing herself in the stomach with painkiller, not very nice.
