It was a stinking hot day in Perth which almost ended with another Hashman’s passing necessitating flagging down a Transperth bus to deliver the Co-hare back to the On-on due to heat stroke or similar. Pleased to say the outcome was fine with a Gatorade delivering enough electrolyte to fix the dehydration. On a serious note, Hashmen – stay hydrated. Our average age is well over 70, so do pay heed!
The car park was heap big enough for Ram or Ford F series as proven by the WC ute trailer delivery where Simple parked dead straight in one go. Rimmer, Dick Doctor and Budgie not so. Rimmer managed a six-point park and then moved his vehicle twice more. Whilst on the On-Sec was astounded to find that there was a joint run.
To the run:
26 intrepid PH3 and 10 WC Hashmen pitched up to a new PH3 but well used by WC Onon, well situated as not too far out and surrounded by sand, bushland, interesting burbs, sand, not too many main roads to cross and did I mention sand? Holy moly was there sand. Bloody tough to run and even walk on. ⅔ of the run was on thick beach sand and a 4km run felt like a 6km run. That was without too many FTs as Phranger took care of those for us. The run for the plodders was 37 minutes, Great job Horse and Prick. At 38° you did well. Horse had a water stop with large ice cold water bottles for all Maggie has never drunk more at Hash than last evening. Special thanks Horse.
The WC dress for next week was awarded to Bits for falling over [no harm done except to pride]
Two 25 year mugs were awarded. Great members both Dick Tracy and Triple J.
Confirmed that there will be a breakfast run on Christmas Eve at Abraham’s Reserve. There will be no official PH3 run on Monday 22nd
Talking in the Circle down downs for Fry and Elbows.
The gathering was told a story about Paddy and his issues with sexual activities which resulted in a catastrophe caused by firing a shotgun causing a loss of limbs (indirectly).
WC’s Fish Head told a story about castaway Harry needing to crow about his exploits. Top story!
RA Trick Dicky gave an appraisal of the run and have we mentioned there was a bit of sand. Tricky hates sand more than hills he pointed out. Run scored 5½ out of 6 and highly commended.
As always, Horse excelled with the food where heaps of silverside and ham with buns and all the salads were provided and fed the 36 there with seconds for all.
Where else would you be on Monday night? 38°, so what.
