‘NOT just another Sunday' IT'S THE 100 th JUNGLE HASH and we are all off on a boat to Ko Larne for a day of celebration on this tropical island.
Having congregated, as instructed for an early signup and goodie distribution (nice shirt) at Bali Hi Pier many hashers are agreeably surprised to find they have also been rewarded with a free run by the mismanagement. Is this our new G.M's way of courting favor with the masses?
Forty Five minutes later with the majority of the hashers only partly awake our boat rams, yes rams (this is Thailand ) into the bamboo jetty on Ko Larne and we land – Lucan seen busy handing out many slabs of beer for porterage to a waiting baht bus.
Our instructions were to turn left from the jetty and walk 50 meters and assemble under a big tree opposite the Wat – this is the A site!
Great, the hares Ball Ringer and Up & Down Dick are waiting for us. So far first-class chaos reminds us this is after all only a hash!
Circle formed we are told to split into two groups (a) Runners (b) Walkers. The lazy bastards, children and incontinent plus the bags beer etc, have all been dispatched to the B site.
Paper is white for the run and blue for the walk, checks are red (360 degrees) and false trails are also red and as a passing comment the hares reminded every one to take water. It's very hot on the island. On Out, and a motley trail of hashers trouped away towards the first of many checks.
With a good number of FRB's grouped among the runners it was interesting to see how the hares devious minds managed to annihilate these eccentric people's urge to front run. Rodger the Sick Prick was utterly destroyed by the time he discovered his fourth FT on only the second check. However, it was evident that local knowledge being displayed by people like Ringworm and Big Nose Bastard saved them from the same fate.
A very red faced Sir Lance perhaps remembering his formative days in Phuket took to the hills of Ko Larne in unbelievable style and then remembering his age and tapered off slowly! Apparently he found it very difficult to walk the following day.
Dickey Enormous, Taint Tickler, Shity Rectom, Hobbit, ET and Split Beaver were among many hashers who were trapped by a back check positioned at the top of a lengthy climb of steps – how long did you stay up there trying to find a trail among the thorn bushes?
Indeed, the hashers who joined the walk also had some interesting moments and even new boot Vietnam Jim and his wife Nisa discovered that hares always misrepresent - what hill?
With both the run and walk concluded it was time to repair to the Beach Bar B site (BBBS) and partake of the fodder and cold beers. What an immense day so far and the fun of the circle has yet to begin.
