Back to the southern flats, with the Manohara River thrown in & some demon trail laying by two of the old stagers promised a run to remember. A superb view to the north with plenty of contours - not that sort you single minded b xxxxxxx! After last week’s almost record low attendance, 22 erstwhile hashers set off from the first Paper. However, at the first check our numbers had multiplied to 25 — why is it that Woods Scholey & Wyatt-Smith are always late?
At the first check it became a race between D.K. & Odd Socks, as to who was going to find Paper first ie the outward or, the inward trail. The hares consternation turned to joy as D.K. settled for the correct trail - the only one he got right.

The next check (two actually within 100 meters plus a false trail), cunningly layed, had everyone confused, bewitched, not to say bxxxxx for a while at least, as Wolczenski lead everyone up the garden path!! Looks of horror greeted the next check at the riverside, as J.W.S. not wishing to get his tootsies, or anything else for that matter, wet, was seen heading across the bridge Ha, Ha, little did ho know what was to come later. John was on - so the rest of you took the plunge straight across — thereby proving that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line - albeit with a river in the middle.

From this to the next check was a gentle joggable incline, however, Mike Scholey was displaying all the signs of being knxxxxxxxx at this stage - serves you right for going on leave! At this point, the younger Loane decided that his dad had run enough and promptly fell off the path. Our President (everyone stand to attention) administered first aid, & the older Loane was seen to walk from here to the finish. (In our opinion he should have picked up the boy & run in as usual!!)

Several more checks followed, soon found, unfortunately for those at the rear. There then occurred a truly disreputable act as about 10 of our previously worthy hashers deliberately passed a clearly marked turning, thus trying to avoid a further soaking. This was not to be, however, as an eagle eyed hare spotted this disgusting behaviour & with the help of various threats had them all into the river, except one.

This -- some would call a gentleman -- person, an american - name of Jerry Wolczenski - renowned for bouncing radio messages off stars - though how he does this with his obviously poor sense of direction & distance, is beyond our comprehension, headed straight for the bridge, but had a long wait for the beer. Serves you right - a suitable self imposed Hashit. The rest of us, still strung out, made it back to the chariots, but still had to wait for the beer. Millbank had the keys & he was being boy scout!! A good and expertly layed trail, not appreciated by some desk sailing B.E. staff, who threatened with abusive language, the first hare home, who promptly side stepped the issue by blaming his colleague DJM, who had not yet finished his boy scout act. The beer flowed freely, all over the place to start with - it’s Austxxxxxxxx beer so may be it would help if it was kept inverted, which also applies to Fallon who arrived late again!!
