After last week's epic hash it was always going to be a hard act to follow. So don't try. For me personally a short hash was just what I needed after a Friday night out with hashers on Jah Wise's Rhum Runner cruise. As all hares do Lester put a lot of work in to setting the trail and we thank him for that but that is now two hashes in a row that have been on the short side and as he still has no hash name I think this might be where his name is going to come from.
Whilst not too long that does not mean it can not be testing and that first climb sorted the men from the boys. The food and drink was supplied by Troy but this time no bust bar thank goodness. I also think that was a first to start a hash from a basketball court. Certainly in Grenada.
This coming Friday is " Bush Princesses" funeral. Full details will be put out in a separate notice on facebook and here on the Website.
Next week's hash is in Mardi Gras, Hopeless is the hare so expect anything. He did say that the views are stunning so bring your camera.
Now we have rain we can do what we should do on a Sunday......nothing!!

Thanks to a superb extreme hash yesterday was not as difficult as it might have been. We were there to pay our respects and remember our fun loving friend Kim "Bush Princess" Henry. Whilst it was not an easy day it was eased by the great trail. We can not say we were not warned. No children, no dogs and no running was the cry from the hares "Mastiff Mistress" and " Clinically Moonstruck". They were not wrong as after 10mins of being in the river one small child had to head ON Back. The trail whilst difficult in places was also very beautiful and it was the perfect place to take a moment and remember our Kim. I ended up at the back due mainly to the first "Unavoidable" bottleneck. This meant that I got to see the ribbons that had been tied all along the trail in memory of " Bush Princess" . This was a trail she would have loved and a great way to remember her by. We had some trouble with four hashers who were out to enjoy themselves. I smelt Rum on the trail and just after I got back there they came on the back of a pick up. This is a definite NO NO and they were duly dealt with.
At the end of a very trying week I for one was very relieved to know that everyone got back relatively safe. Thanks to the hares for a lot of hard work but the reward was a great hash. Thanks.
Next week we are in Marquis St Andrews with Lester. Till then I'm off to get Gerty on the road.
Take care. ON ON
Why did I have a feeling of deja vue. Yesterday at Jah Wise's birthday hash as last year we had rain and we were promised a pig roast and as last year it did not happen. However that is where the similarities end. The rain relented just in time and with the food cooking nicely, Carib on ice all was set for a great afternoon. Jah Wise promised great views on the hash and they did not disappoint. I think he got away lightly with the wicked false trail he put in half way down the gravel quarry. From our vantage point at the beer stop we had a great view of all the unfortunate ones who took the wrong option. We were so sad for them. Back for some good clean fun and well may be not so clean. The virgins duly dealt with it was on to a couple of names. The first went to Tim Ball for taking the shoes of the drivers who kindly offer him rides to the hash "Shoe Thief". The dear French lady Ingrid de Morgane. Yesterday she arrived at the beer stop with what
looked like a pineapple plant and we were not happy but then it was pointed out it was in fact a plant that grows in trees and is known as a weed. Her hash name is now "Parasite"
Thanks Jah Wise for a great day and the pan band capped a great hash. Now it's your turn to find out what being over 50 is like.
Next week we are in Grand Etang with "Mastiff Mistress" and "Clinically Moonstruck". It promises to be a great trail. A word of warning ahead of the details coming out. They advise no dogs on the trail and small children may not make it round. Hmmmm.
Looking ahead to next year we have planed a Hash sports day. With everything from athletics to tug of war to 5 a side football. Look out for more details coming soon. For now enjoy your week and save your energy for what sounds like a good hash next week. ON ON
