The Innings
There weren’t any cricket
whites but a sea of blue Nash Hash T-shirts as I tried to catch up with the
hash from my usual starting position. Danish was sporting a very tasteful shirt
proclaiming “Nobody knows I’m a lesbian” and so was her running partner the
hirsute Shithappens – very puzzling.
There was the
orange “HARE” shirt of ball-breaker hare Baldrick. He looked like the rest of
the nash hashers – ball-broken after the weekend’s exploits.!
We arrived at a
check near the deserted Newbury Athletic Club (scene of that very snowy
Christmas run a couple of years ago) and no one seemed more lost than the
Newbury athletes. The trail did a U-turn round the block and then back to the
Athletic Club. Such fiendish tricks are just not cricket and the smirk on
Cyclogical’s face said it all. Confucius (Steamer) say “Autumn nettles worse
than summer nettles”. This was no comfort at all to erstwhile nettle-warrior
TT1 as he battled against the weed.
At the regroup
Gutbucket commented that the hash had been very easy so far compared to his
Wednesday Whingers runs but little did he know what lay in store. We hung
around too long and it was getting dark and chilly .The long and short divided.
Motox, just ahead of me claimed to pull a muscle (lucky to have any I thought!)
We went into the extremely dark woods along a path consisting of ditches and
shiggy. Iceman was a faller here and TT1 ripped his shorts on a branch. Dwight
was leading the way and telling everyone that there was a perfectly good path
they could be following. Caboose from Jacaranda hash, Pretoria was up there
with the FRBs. Those who had made it through the shiggy were met on the road by
the Blobbies, Utopia ,Lynda and Spot.
At the next check
only Fannysniffer, Dwight, TT1 and Centaur went across the field on the trail.
C5, Handful, Stan ,TT3 and the rest decided it was time for their cricket tea
and high tailed it uphill, along the road and back to the pavilion.
Meanwhile TT1
excited at the sight of the ON-INN ran straight into some barbed wire – which
certainly caught him out – howzat!!
Tea in the Pavilion
The trays of stale
cake and curling sandwiches looked increasingly appetising as the evening wore
on. As Flash, Motox ,TT1 and TT3 were tucking in Centaur told them about what
had happened to him on the hash. He had been coming back from a long false when
he spotted a couple of
hashers getting it on-on in the bushes. The embarrassed Centaur covered his
eyes as he passed them so nearly fell over his own tongue!. On

Snippets from the Nash Hash
Weekend
Venue YMCA HQ Fairthorne Manor, Botley Hampshire
Hosted by the very Worthy Winchester H3 From our roving reporter Spot
Our
poor GM Ms. Whiplash was raring to go on this sun-kissed weekend but fortune
was not on her side. On the first day of hashing she tried to board the bus for
her chosen trail to be told it was full up so had to choose another. On her way
to the next she slipped on a disinfectant mat damaging a muscle in her
ankle/leg. Sadly she could not run the whole weekend and worse still she wasn’t
able to dance. However she did keep in good spirits. (presumably gin ,whisky, vodka……….)
Eth
surprised everyone by running one of the muddiest trails that included 200
yards of waist-high slime, bog and unpleasantness. She was as surprised as
everyone else!! She came back with Mother and Lemming – all sporting lumps,
bumps and strange rashes.
Bomber,
Lemming and Mother crossed an estuary to be hosed down by the fire brigade !!
Our
most proud moment of the whole weekend was when Jed (Paella’s bit of stuff)
climbed to the top of the beer marquee to retrieve his wig put there by another
hasher. On his way down his foot split the canvas (serves him right for wearing
stilettos) and his leg came through much to the disgust of the Winchester host
hash. Photos
out soon.
