Run Report

A Frogs Day On and In the River

Returning to the same A site as the previous week, our intrepid Hares V.V. and Dirty Pussy announced that checks this week were coloured yellow. This apparently to ensure no confusion with the unbroken red checks from the 10/10/10 Run.This was duly noted by all except Miserable C. who, so he later claimed, completed the entire trail from Run187.

The Thais call them “Mechai’s’, the English “French Letters” and the French “English Envelopes”, plastic versions of which V.V. was handing out prior to the start in the interests of safe sex and good family planning and also for preserving cash for the taxi fare for the likes of Burl Ives, Satan’s Willy and Stakeout.

After welcoming visitors and another good turnout of hardy PJH3 stalwarts, our GM for the day Rumple Foreskin sent the pack off, following V.V. to the first of many river crossings and a carefully laid rope to guide hashers through the first river on a “bridge” a few feet below the surface. Those who strayed off line were immediately swimming in several metres of a fast flowing torrent, but all eventually made it through. Mudcracker was seen offering a particularly frisky Squeeze My Tube a piggy back ride across the torrent and the thrill was simply too much, as she made a flying leap onto a crouching Mudcracker. The excitement was obvious as she proceeded to run away from the pack and solve the first check. Mrs. Head was close behind being another who was having a field day with her new found independence. Tampax and Greyhound were not far behind, claiming to be equally stimulated by something in their water!

Checks were plentiful and both Vaseline Thighs and Eddie were reveling in the shiggy, being all over the place crapping on the trail as they went. Second check was quickly solved, probably by Eddie, leading through a few gravel pits and more water until a good back check brought the pack together.

Thereafter it was a case of staying on a well marked trail, avoiding horses and cattle and allowing our mute FRB’s such as Pussy Snatcher and even Seal Sucker to solve a few checks and immediately race off in their forlorn attempts to outwit Mudcracker, who by now had recovered from his earlier exertions.

More water shortly before a good run in, again saw SMT and Mrs. Head departing into the undergrowth with some visitors in tow. This attempt to either short cut or short time, or both, proved successful since they both emerged ahead of your scribe who took the slower river route foregoing the pleasures of a “quickie”.

The Cabbages, on their return to PJH3, were given a special welcome. Cabbage Knievel’s return to the fold was a pleasure to behold and both he and Cabbage Flaps were in good form as they kept abreast of the main pack which was home in just over an hour.

Stand in G.M., Rumple Foreskin, orchestrated the circle and the overall verdict was that this had been yet another excellent run without encroaching on the previous weeks trail. A great effort by V.V.and Dirty Pussy despite the yellow checks!
