The Valentines Run last Friday was a real sweety of a run set by our hares Peter & Zila on the eastern slopes above Lake Zar Zar. The trail was long, but ever so delicately laid in pink paint with lovely heart shaped checks. It had to be long to fit in so much different terrain - we had on-road and off-road, we had hills and plains, we had open fields and woods, we had some mountain climbing and wonderful views of mountains sprinkled with snow, and in quite a few cases throughout, we had hashers on trail and hashers OFF-trail.
We all eventually arrived back at the hash site to find Rafi struggling to make a fire out of little pieces of wood, eventually resorting to mazzoot (what had he been doing all that time we were out on trail, many of us wondered!). However, there was hot wine to hold the cold at bay long enough for the pack to circle-up, little gifts for the happy hashers and lashings of hot food to follow, enough for everyone.
Littlejohn was RA and down downs were dished out for:
- the DH3 Virgins: Christina, Sonia, Richard & John
- the returnees: Morning After (Ken) and Verena
- the visually challenged: Wise Owl (Julian) who couldn't see the pink paint - take off the shades man!
- the disorientated: Rowdy & Wise Owl who seemed to be wandering around lost for most of the trail
- for sex on the hash: Wise Pranker (Paul) who provided an escort service for Sonia & Christina
And then the sun was gone, the food was gone, the fire gone was gone (was it ever there!) and so were the hashers.
On on,
Rowdy
