Run 2435 The Numbats get all wet

The NUMBATS Fundraising Run at Raphael Park
moses-cartoon-parting-sea Moses leading the pack.
 
A standard serve of Perth Hashmen (about 20) attended this joint run on a freezing wet night.
 
The run started well enough with a few good false trails keeping the pack together before we went through the underpass under Canning Highway and across towards the river. It then started to bucket down. I, along with a few other hashers, managed to shelter under the Causeway until it stopped and then we struggled up Albany Highway and eventually caught the pack at the top of the hill. A bit of running through  the suburbs bought us back to the bucket in about 40 minutes.
 
Inside the sports pavilion, two harriets gave us short presentations about the two charities being supported (Prevention of Domestic Violence and Lung Cancer Research)  and then the normal number of Down Downs were consumed by various guilty parties.
 
After the circle, fried fish and chicken with chips and salad finished off the evening.(Ed) And sweets were then served.

Run 2432 Polecat passes the ‘Boner test’.

POLECAT at Marmion Reserve with substitute co-hare (sorry I can't remember)
 
After the smallish pack competed with the local hockey team for the limited parking spaces we set off on a well designed loop around the oval, before heading south across Marmion St and up some unexpectedly steep hills with views over the city. After half an hour or so we crossed Marmion again and looped around to the east to come in in about an hour.
 
A well designed run with lots of good false trails best summed up by Moses first Commandment; "You can tell its a good run when Boner runs past you six or seven times".
 
After the circle, delicious meat pies were served with mash and peas.

A medium sized pack gathered in beautiful down town Alexander Heights, majority of comments generated by the pack  prior to the start was that they expected the run to be ordinary, but the food would make up for any deficiencies.

I can really only comment personally on the walkers aspect of the run which was good with good use of the parks in the area, and we were of course led by our fearless leader Phantom, and returned to the bucket in just under the hour.

The runners on the other hand were not a happy bunch on their return lots of complaints about the lack of checks and false trails stated that they spent all their time running in straight lines, it is always difficult to get an accurate picture of the run as most of them are wingers and wouid complain even if it was a good run.The Hares didn't appear to be concerned  and the comments appeared to go straight through to the keeper.

No doubt they were resting on the quality of the food ,which didn't disappoint.

The RA awarded the run 6.8 , which was a little surprising, not sure what run he was involved in.

2434 The Phantom’s Search for the Skull Cave

Run 2434: The Phantom’s Search for the Skull Cave

A smallish pack arrived at the Hollywood Bowling Club last Monday night and watched the hares (PHANTOM and SIR KNOB) arrive back from a southerly direction. The more observant hounds amongst us noted that the arrows we were standing on headed to the north, so with the heavy hint in the run directions about bringing a torch (ie we were going through Karrakatta Cemetery) we thought we had the run mapped before we left.

An excellent long loop at the start had us back near the bucket after 5 mins and into Karrakatta soon after. The bush sections in the cemetery had numerous opportunities for false trails that were taken up by the hares. After getting out into cemetery proper the regular road grid also provided good running conditions but opportunities for short cutting when caught on the wrong side of a check (as happened to your scribe and THE MOLE). After leaving the cemetery we had a brief stint out in the suburbs before heading back into the cemetery again, through more bush and up more false trails.

We arrived back at the corner of Smyth and Monash and then on to a short run home in ~50 mins. An excellent run, it’s not often you get away with a figure 8 run!

At the circle, numerous people got down downs for being returnees and SKID, SIR KNOB and RHINO got down downs for birthdays. EMU was given a T shirt by an anonymous donor and BARCODE and all his extended family celebrated the arrival of his new son, Toby.

The Ghost Who Walks then served up chicken curry and rice that went down very well.

2431 Emu & Thommo experience the unfathomable joy of being in DOCKERLAND

Run:2431      Emu & Thommo
 
A big welcome on the night to the West Coast boys – always great to see them join us on a hash run.
 
An excellent venue chosen by Emu and Thommo. In fact anywhere in the Freo area can always be considered an excellent venue, so much so that the West Coast boys – Bazza in particular – did not mind the trip down at all as most are Dockers supporters anyway. I have it from a reliable source that this bunch would be more than happy to have all the future joint runs in Freo. True story.
 
The boys got together at the start of the run to be given a politically correct lesson on what to expect on the run eg.  chalk colour, ‘P’ on the front of the arrow, ratio of checks to false trails etc etc. What a lot of bullshit! Just send them out. If they get lost they get lost. FUKM. When did we start this pre run crap – sort of straight out of the Phantom manual
 
Friggin cold night so the hashmen started out fast in an easterly direction to get warm. Arrows were a bit scarce but finally after fu**ing 2km we completed the loop and started heading back west with the usual pricks, Seagull, Boner and Phranger, well to the fore.
 
Then the trail got serious and the pack turned towards Royal Fremantle Golf Club where Jaapie had arranged for drinks on his tab at the bar but unfortunately an FT stuffed up that little diversion and the pack continued towards Freo.
 
I can’t believe it. Haggis is still with us and we are somewhere near the Monument. These hares were not shabby with their strategy and the closer we ran towards the Port the more the pack became excited at being near the real reason for our existence – to experience the unfathomable joy of being in DOCKERLAND. Neon made comment to Moses that when Freo win the 2017 Premiership all the true believers get the opportunity of kneeling and touching the No. 29 Guernsey worn by The Pav in his last game….and that’s not pointless. 
 
On we ran, ever closer to Freo. The packed turned into Pavlich Ave, then turned right into Pavlich Cul de sac to then run through Pavlich lane and past Pavlich shopping center heading east to home. There were tears in the eyes of very hardy and tough men. This was a big experience of epic and mystical proportion.
 
After ~90 minutes of running we finally got back to the bucket for a well-earned beer.
Can’t remember much about the circle because that’s usually the time I catch up on the gos, but down downs were had, songs were sung and the hares were ready with that culinary delight of all foods – a hamburgher – and if you were last in line, no onions. Seconds!!! Nahhh. As the hare rightfully noted you guys are starting to put on some winter weight.
 
Great night, long run and a good variety of birthday and other beers to drink. Had to be a 7/10.

2422 Elbows at Shelley Football Club

I arrived at the advertised venue well before the Hash Foot was placed at the other car park! Apparently we were 'bumped' from the usual carpark and adjoining clubrooms because the Dockers had arrived.

So a quick drive to the alternate venue and all was good.

Action welcomed our visitors, two friends of Goliath, Dave and Winston from Melbourne. Elbows son Toby also joined us.

The run went around the park with a clever on back past the park before heading south west close to Leach Highway. After some clever false trails, the pack arrived at a crossing at Leach Highway before being directed on the correct route by a map holder.

Crayfish was happy to recognise the start of Preston Drive, one of Perth Hash Awesome Cycling Team’s (PHact) many Friday cycle routes.

After more clever false trails and parks we ran along the river past our start. Sir Knob pointed out a walkway which we nearly ran past. Then Bushie jogged past the young guns who were strolling across Shelley Park to the bucket.

Antman was running with Chunda and Chunda claimed to know the territory. After running about 2km without sighting any chalk or Leach Highway it became obvious Chunda didn’t really know the way. Antman used the maps on his smart phone until the battery went flat. But then they saw Haggis’s house so all was well.

8.26 km on the Bush-metre.

Sherlock, Captain and Aristo (or Polecat) were given down-downs. Polecat has misplaced the bell.

Q, 3G & SCB were given down-downs.

As Elbows indicated there would be no food his 8 points was downgraded to 7. Ahh. just a false trail, the food was a tasty soup with French bread sticks. Just the thing for a cold night with no heater.

On On  to next week’s run in the northern suburbs.

2414 SIR TOMARSE at Perry Lakes

Apolgies for late submission…..

Arrived with aching tooth after being attended by the ivory rustler (Dentist) so did not join the run.  The run started on time at 6pm. Pack of walkers set of in what I assume was the right direction towards Bold Park.  Here the runners misplaced the trail and then short cut the trail.

 The runners arrived back between 6:35 to 6:40. Many comments were made about how good the run was although misplacing the trail.

The walkers arrived back a little while after with two members sustaining injuries. Apparently high gutters, bad eye sight, too much waffling and not enough attention caused them to go over.

This, if we had the correct award (the golden zimmer frame) would attract two nominees – PHANTOM and CAPTAIN – with no doubt more to come in the coming years.

 The circle was run, down downs given, bull shit abounded and on on to a very Sri Lankian chicken curry and rice – excellent fare.

A good run, excellent food.  

Well done SIR TOM ARSE and CHRISTMAS and of course MRS ERNIE DINGO for delicious food.

Mr Scumbag.

2406 Palace Run Tues @ Jackadder Lake Reserve

Run write up for the Palace Run at Jackadder Lake

Being the first to turn up, I was feeling like I was going to be the only one from Perth hash to go to the run. But along came Skid and then Sea Gull, Junior Sea Gull (aka Q) Elbows and then the Bucket Driven by Budgie. Always the way, Budgie comes good.

The run got away to a good start along the water and around the corner to a False Trail the run was very well set with lots of false trails and checks, using the streets of Woodland to good effect. The Pack was kept together at all times and we were never more then 2 k from home.

On returning back to the bucket Lasagna, Gnochie, Bushie, and Sir Knob. Not to forget Bare foot ( Angel and his BETTER Half, Ripper).

The Harriet's did a good job of the Circle and kept it short and sharp. All the clubs sang their song. And after Sir Knob stated Perth Hash members need some practice.

Harriet's put on good food,  Hamburgers.

Well done to the Harriet's for the Run, The Circle and the Food ( Great Job).

 

On on
