Hash Trash
Reporting some of the moments you might prefer to forget!
Felbrigg Hall - 30th August 2010
Run no. 1395
Hare: Dodo
We met at Felbrigg Hall's dog walking car park aided by an NH3 sign that the Hare had kindly erected.With a good turn out of twenty hashers for a Bank Holiday run, Dodo was starting to get concerned that there wouldn't be enough spare ribs for his following BBQ.
Off we went through the woods and up and down some scenic areas. A good run and just the right length, as even the knitting circle got back before dusk.
A convoy of cars then set off to Cromer, which went horribly wrong when some went To Dodo's and Scoopers via Roughton !
The Circle was held, and food and drink followed later which went down well .
DOWN DOWNS:
Dodo for being Hare and host.
Cheril and Steph. the Newcommers (introduced by Bumhead after a chance meeting down a falsie on a previous Hash.)
The mystery RA was Riff Raff, and a fine job she did too, awarding Down Downs to the following:
Bumhead, Mincey.,Steph and Cheril for going off trail so they could see the cattle.
Bumhead again, for getting caught short in a canoe and having to do a dump near St Michaels Mount thereby increasing the size of it. He was so proud he had to phone Firm Butt at work to tell her, good job he wasn't on speakerphone!
Sven for being competitive as he sprinted past C.V.C. proclaiming he had always wanted to get past him.
Me for forgetting who the G.M was, ( only momentarily I hasten to add ).
Many thanks to Dodo and Scooper.

The Red Lion, Coltishall - 23rd August 2010
Run no. 1394.
Hares: Not Yeti and Eli-phantom
It was not surprising that after the heavy rain earlier the attendance was low, only eleven
hashers! Yet again our hares had all their flour trail washed out, necessitating a bit of live flour laying as they went.
A pretty run taking us around Horstead Mill and yes, just to please me, along a disused railway line,then back via St.James
Near the ON INN we were told by a foreign woman with her diabetic dog, that we shouldn't be running on this footpath. She was duly ignored and we carried on back to the pub.
Lucky was not so lucky when she closed her car boot and realised she had locked herself out, the keys in full view, inside on the parcel shelf.
Sven being there at the time kindly offered to take Lucky home, where she said she had a spare car key. Unfortunately the key could not be found as she realised that she had lost it previously at Bobs, whoops!
So they came back to the pub. and Sven contacted a vehicle rescue service. Two hours later, and much laughing at Linda's expense she got into her car with a sigh of relief.
Hash Elder (Porky) was acting G.M. and R.A.aswell, was this anything to do with him wearing new shoes?
DOWN DOWNS:
The Hares
Lucky for being Unlucky with her car key
Lucky again, this time for being Lucky as she managed to find her house key.
Sven for "The Knight in Shining Armour" coming to Lucky's aid. Well done mate.

The Cellar House, Cringleford - 15th November 2009 - Run No.1352
Hair Memorial Run – Black T-Shirt run to remember our friend Ken Snell
Hares: Bagman & Beetroot.A large crowd gathered in the car park, all wearing black t-shirts found in attics & in the back of drawers for the occasion.
Porky said a few well chosen words describing Hair as the life & soul of the party, including a story concerning Ken gate crashing a hen party & ending up being invited to the wedding the next day.
We set off to the traffic lights, where some tried right & left, before it was discovered that the trail went straight on.
We ran through Cringleford all the way to Earlham road, & the pack was kept together by numerous checks. We came back via Earlham Park, & past the university before running next to the river along a path made almost entirely out of shaggy.
All were back within 2 hours after a long but well laid trail.
The pub laid on a buffet & refused to accept any cash as Ken was a regular.
The Circle
The circle was started by Dodo (Hash Master) who gave out the down downs as follows:
* The hares – Bagman & Beetroot
* Cheese & Onion – 300 runs – mug presented
Mr Bossy (Religious Advisor) continued with:
* New shoes
o Sniffer
o Hugo
o Riff Raff (new shoes in wardrobe)
o Bum Head (talking in the circle)
o Jo – Hash virgin
o Shunt
* Sven – hats & talking in the circle
* Cheese & Onion – shout cutting
* Bagman – running with young girls
* Cheese & Onion – misinformation
* Benito – going to wrong pub
* Squits – lost last week
Mr Bossy then proposed a toast to absent friends, describing Hair as a great guy, loved by all.
The hash hymn was then sung, led by Squits with appropriate actions.
