Location Rotter's House, Nakhipot Hares Rotter
Hashit Rodent Scribe Rotter Hashers ?

The pack gathered at ROTTERS house in Nakupot on a pretty dismal afternoon after rain on and off all day. Immediate confusion as everyone set off - the GM had parked on top of first paper. The initial few metres of the route across soggy grass ensured that no-one had to worry about keeping feet dry for the rest of the circuit. On past the area of town slowly being eaten up by the FOX's building development operations, and down through steep grass and cornfields to a new bridge being built across the Naku Khola. From the check by the bridge amost all the pack crossed the river except DESERT FOX who stood and thought for a moment, worked out that bridges for returning back across were much too far away, and turned back uphill to find paper. A mud-slide down to the river once more, before turning back up into Kusunti where the FOX went off to socialise at a nearby aquaintance's house leaving the rest of the pack to pick off leeches. CHIP and MARY were fascinated by the little suckers and ROADRUNNER looked around for more for them to attract. The path

then led on up into Tikka Dewal and threaded back through the non-descript jungle of half-built houses, rice fields, and lanes between the Lele and Nakhipot roads. The hare was well behind at this point and not able to prevent the pack going well off paper. By the time he retreived it the GM had snuck past and was waiting to welcome everyone home at the finish. Also waiting was SLOW DRIP who had arrived after the pack were long gone. He said he'd gone off on a route of his own, probably to the back of the ROTTER house to wait in trepidation for the down-down, which for him was to be beerless. Such dedication to duty. It was well into down-downs before Simon arrived back having been pointed in the right direction by a friendly lad. The GM got the hashit for stamping in a particularly dirty puddle beside a lady with a freshly-washed white sari on her way to a wedding. Can't quite understand what he did wrong - this is surely exemplary hash behaviour? The hashit should have gone to DESERT FOX for thinking.
