American Harepiece in Berkshire – with Mine Host – OLD SHEP

 

Your scribe and the hare are one today(and I’m learning to crawl?!) so you know what to expect of the write up. Modesty prevents me using superlatives throughout but everyone that I spoke to was suggesting I do it every week!!

With the Italian absentees not being present C5 took control and welcomed all the hares.

Shepherd indicated where his hut was for afterwards with the warning that ANTIHASH was only allowing the hash to use the compost heap at the end of the garden and toilet facilities were there also!

Then while you losers spent the first 10 minutes searching for the trail I regaled my learned pal Wally with stories of the White House and substance abuse with young ladies’ dresses and he gave me tips for my next run.

The returning pack then headed down down the first of the muddy slides with Hey Babe being the first faller.

Others tottered but none fell including RICHARD nee BODS – an ex Abu Dhabi hasher who appeared well balanced(is that an oxymoron?)

As we climbed the other side I noticed Charlie was struggling. Was it the 1970s short shorts last worn by Kevin Keegan causing her grief – they certainly clung tight – no shame on me it was a bad foot.

Funnily  UPTAKE was also supporting the rear end (of the pack) as we disappeared into the woods.

Posh Tart then explained to me how Wally’s racing tips had meant that she was the first woman(should that be tart?) in the Reading ½ Marathon last week  followed by the aquatic Daisy nee Vicky.

After hearing this TTI1 piped up with his achievement of victory in the Gristle. He beat, C5, LBIRD, Lonely Spotless, Mr Blobby – lucky I had a yankee on it.

Unfortunately the result was declared unsafe and unsatisfactory because he was towed round by Snowy.

My perfect trail in the woods was being ignored by the likes of Soapy so declaring UDI  I called the marks and ran straight into a young lady blocking my way on her horse. Wally informed her of my misdemeanours Stateside and the horse looked unamused and so I had to detour slightly.

Sally was floundering at this point with Gmarler also and one thinks it must be due to the injuries received after her enforced return from Italy to escape continuously bottom pinching.

By now the pack was well spaced out and the only one calling was the ubiquitous Lord Lucan who has been now missing for so long even the police have accepted his new status as a ghost hasher(it’s the doppelganger effect!).

Spotless by name and nature now emerged looking quite sheepish after his poor performance in The Bear Pit and lack of haberdash.

But the hounds were totally lost with Greenfly running thither and dither whilst Lbird gamely trudged up one side of the valley and TT1 the other.

With a resounding ON ON from the red spotted one the massed throng swung to the right and up and over the ridge.

All except Artifuct who was on her fauna hunt. She kept stopping turning over rocks and kissing toads.

What was she trying to achieve you may ask – answers on a PC to RA..

She then, using her geology hammer, broke open same – rocks not toads but not a lamellibranch in site.

Quel catastophe!

AWOL was watching – confused, amazed and said she would stick to sheep!

Iceman and Blowjob  caught up and the former was whinging about his problems  with the web site while the latter was thinking of changing his name as it was just not appropriate these days!

 IAN (NANCY Drew) from Taunton was also taking it easy proving that RBH3  runs take a lot of beating!

Lonely and Beaver were enjoying one anothers company until the dog decided to take a leaf bath. Beaver will have to give him a good scrub down2  when they get home.

The well known triad Piss Quick Glitter Tits and Soapy  having split up rebonded at the next check for the big push.

As we climbed , shiggy filled paths were now becoming solid open tracks and I laid fluffy floury arrows to guide the back markers.

Please note I use my hand to do it - none of this Nancy boy water bottle nonsense or potato planters!

The run was partly spoilt for me when I heard my fried David(whom I only brought along because they have dropped him from the football team and he had nothing else to do !) revealing my best kept secret that the badger on my head is not dead but just sleepy.

He also said that I didn’t work hard enough to disturb it and that was why I get away with it!

Who needs friends.

At the regroup I was delighted that Posh Tart chatted me up with the line  - “I don’t like rough surfaces”.

Well there is a plethora of products offerring lubrication from WD40 to Ann Summers best! -  but what would I know?

The legendary Bolshoi having retired from the ballet was certainly fleet of pas de deux and vying with the green insect in his original yellow BH3 sweat(I hear this was another of Wally’s designs).

Whilst the main group headed right Motormouth and I shortcutted dragging the flora gazing Artifuct with us.

We tried to coerce the pack through our watersplashes but without Lemming or the social Shepherd(who had now headed homewards for his beer) all remained dry – but of course it bucketted down down when the mechamical orifice and I set it.

At this point we lost Wally who somehow then managed to finish first – years of experience.

A superb slippery trail of good length with prime shiggy and varied hills – don’t you agree?

Last and least was TENBOB who came in complaining that the horrors run that he had set with Dumper was a disaster and he wished he’d asked for help from the Hasher/Hare of the Year.

That famous figure said why not arrange these words into a well known phrase or saying

SO YOU WALLY TOLD.

We were greeted at The Hutt by the hospitable Antihash(she had turned her ballroom into a kitchen for us!!) and the longest serving lady hasher worldwide Queen Wendy who had kindly prepared the vittals for us.

Alas no Shepherd’s Pie(Antihash said “We are not cannibals you know” ) but lots of tasty grub(Double X would have liked it  because it was free) and an assortment of healthy drinks.
