The competition among the hares is something else. First we get good trails but not many false trails. We realise this and ask for more false trails and..... Never wish for something you might not want.
Seriously no one can say we are not getting excellent trails AND lots of fun. Troy will now be getting a hash name next week. Still not fully decided, so your thoughts are welcome. Starting with a false trail was one thing but giving the Hash Master wrong information ensured you got the treatment after the hash. Hashing in the Birch Grove area is always going to give great views and big challenge. The rain on the way to the hash put some people off with one in particular getting half way there then turning back to save getting wet. Poss hash name there as well. The rain only served to make the trails er interesting. Yes the views were worth the challenge to the point where one hasher wants to buy a plot of land up there to ensure he wakes up to that view everyday. Once again we had many visitors yesterday and I hope you all enjoyed your GH3 experience. One of those visitors was responsible for my new shoes. Thanks Josh and thanks to North Face.
Yesterday I had the pleasurable task of introducing the new team that will be assisting in the running of GH3. First up were Grandad Hare Raiser, Crisis and Hopeless hair lines. First job for them will be to have a hares meeting which will be announced shortly.
Next up are the five who are going to be taking over the new shoes and down downs. Finding all the misdemeanors that take place at a hash. They will be called Minor Inquisitors. SSUseless, Wet Bush, I Sucking, Oh Shit and Christopher Columbus. Good start yesterday as they gave the hash master a free beer for the new shoes and presented Troy with a new innovation for G3H the Hash Shit of the week. You worked hard for that. Thanks Troy great job.
We also have River Stone Annie now looking after Hash Merchandise. Title Habahasher!!!
There are two more to be announced but I will do that next Saturday.This is a great move forward for us and I know this band of brothers will gel to form a great team for the greater benefit of our group. Next week we are in Vendome. Now after all the great trails there is now a definite task each week for the hare to out do the previous hares. So "Red Devil" has a stiff challenge but one I know she will rise to. This is also our Independence Day hash so everyone get out your national colours and wear them with pride as we run, walk, crawl, slide and fall through the trails around Vendome in the parish of St Georges. Full details to come soon.
News on Lester "Short Arse" who was admitted to hospital last week. He is feeling much better and should be out soon. Keep fighting it brother. Can I take this opportunity to wish Grenadians everywhere a happy 39th Independence day for Thursday. Till next week. ON ON

Has to be my best birthday. Thank you to the 281 who made it to Palm Tree Gardens yesterday for "Softwood's" birthday hash. Add on the growing band of hash groupies and we were well over 300!!! The setting and stunning views I had promised were admired by all.
" Disaster Zone " and my self managed to get all the paper we had, down by 3pm including the many false trails that I know were "enjoyed" by nearly everyone!!! I have to say setting the trail with " D Z" is always challenging but never boring. Whilst the trails were enjoyed by all it is always a worry when the sun goes down and we still have people not back in. However we always have sweepers and yesterday we also had two members of our "Sweat" team at the back of the runners. So very concerned yes but happy that we had our rescue team out on the trail where they were needed. Thanks "Cow Tail" and " Half Man". With everyone accounted for it was time to party and boy was that a party. First I had to de virginise 52 newbies. Amazing! Next up was to congratulate "G-String" on the announcement that he is to become a father. We have already given the baby to be a hash name... " Thong" !!!! Then I got rewarded for all the hard work in true hashing style. Yes Susie M Grey you did well girl! This is the long running saga of the " Cream Pie" and with some good planning I got it right in the face. Now all you have to do is watch your back!!!!
The party got better and better with not one but two birthday cakes of the edible kind. That's one area I have to learn. Stabbing the cake. Thanks Dabs for your wonderful commentary.
I hope there is not too much damage to your grounds Lawrence Lambert. I have to thank you for allowing us to share your wonderful gardens and to your team for looking after us so well. We had a blast.
Next week we are in Birch Grove in St David's with the yet to be named "Troy". Looking forward to that.
Now I need to recover in a darkened room. Have a great week. ON ON
The challenge was laid down and yesterday it was met and more. The trails had everything even the venue was perfect. With the rain and low cloud it just added to the atmosphere. With plenty of false trails and one hasher mistaking a arrow for a cross there was also plenty confusion as well and there is no problem with that. After all we are a hash group. Thanks to "SSUseles" and " Grandad" Great job. Now " Spiderman" lived up to his superman title by deciding that it would be a good time to play heads up with a boulder!!! Still as with all super hero's no damage done...well we think. All we know there was no change.
Yesterday we had many visitors from all over the world including a wedding party. Yes all 30 of them turned up. The wedding had taken place on a near perfect Caribbean day at the Hotel Petite Anse on Friday then yesterday in perfect hashing conditions they took to the hills, rivers and trails of Paraclete. Being polite as I am I did not ask how their first night of marriage went but I did ask Mr & Mrs Nelson have you ever hashed before Mr replied yes and Mrs replied no. It took me no time at all to work out that the wedding night went badly. Still we congratulated them and sent the Virgin wife out with her non virgin husband!!! Someone needs to give them marriage guidance I think.
Another visitor was a past hash master from Antigua "Dame Edna". Thanks to all the visitors who come to hash with us you are all very welcome.
We did have one unsavory incident when a hasher left her vehicle unlocked and an unidentified person, but not a hasher, took the opportunity to take some money. Please always lock your door at a hash. Sad I have to say that.
