Rain for most of the morning made for a potentially soggy washed-out hash. But John was busy re-setting the trail from the car. This was to haunt him later. Reasonably good turnout with several dogs bringing their owners along. Quick explanation that the trail was set in batter and that it was an A to B run, then we set off at a blistering pace. Walkers went downhill, runners uphill. Both groups met up again at the scrub land at Soldier Ghaut. By this time the field was well spread out with the more energetic walkers towards the top of the opposite cliffs, depressing the hell out of the rest of us who were still struggling down the thorn bushes on the other side. The trail went precariously close to the cliff edge, but all hashers negotiated it successfully. Most welcome stop at Eagle's Nest bar where several Caribs duly fortified the needy and the owner did not seem to mind the muddy EC\$ notes pulled out from various orifices and muddy boots. Finally, and rather reluctantly, the pack set off again from the bar. A good final downhill trail to Bunkum Bay where the more adventurous hashers risked the high surf to cool down. Limited changing facilities resulted in an interesting array of 'swimwear'. Arsefelt discovered that beer and salt water do not mix.
There then ensued a fight between the dogs about which one had the better owner. It seems from this that Ben has the best as he appears to have no controls imposed upon him whatsoever.
Down downs followed with usual mix of forgotten lyrics and Cedric type interventions. John and Ken will henceforth be known as Doggie Style and Odd Shaped Balls respectively. Those bastards at McDonalds should be sued for taking the GM and On Sec's names in vain.
After the down downs there was enough time for Andy to park his borrowed car in a storm drain (don't tell the RA) before we had the On On at Arsefelt's. Record for quickest pizzas ever eaten and a rich vein of freebies discovered under the Carib caps.
Of course, there was then the 'incident' the following Tuesday when the hare - now named Doggie Style - was taken in for questioning by the finest from the Royal Montserrat Police Force (RMPF). He had been reported for apparently distributing an anthrax like powder from the car. 'Flour' he said. 'Likely story' said the RMPF. 'You're coming with us.' And so he did. It was only when he revealed that the Commissioner of Police himself could corroborate his unlikely story, and when he had taken the constables to his secret stash of flour, that he was eventually released. Even made the following week's paper, but in the usual tradition of the Reporter they even managed to get this story wrong. Anyway, it's a classic and this will forever now be known as the 'Anthrax Run.'
Following the Hash lasagne will be available at Jumpin' Jacks.
Breakfast - Sunday 18th - Gourmet Gardens 10 am.
The date for the next Hash is provisionally Saturday 8th December, Hares yet to be volunteered, followed by Christmas Hash Bash, venue Arsefelt's house.
