Hash #775 Devon's Rum Shop Chantimelle St Patrick's

Hashing in the beautiful parish of St Patrick's is always one to look forward to and yesterday we were not disappointed. Starting from Devon's Rum Shop is great unless you want to park close by. As ever hashers find their own spot and get on with it. We were keen to get out in to the countryside and sample the delights of Chantimelle. "Crisis" had his usual army of helpers and so there would have been no excuses if he got it wrong. But he got it just about right. In fact it was so good the FRB's did it twice. I did hear a whinge or two about it being a runners trail and not a walkers trail but you have to remember it was dry season when he reckied the trail and we hashed in the rainy season!!! Good fun was had before during and after the hash. I spied one young virgin who had picked a cocoa pod from a tree. When challenged she tried to put it back on the tree, in the end she settled for placing it under a fig plant. A new name is coming when she next comes to a hash!! Administering the down down's is usually the fun part but just now and then I get nervous. This week I had a nervous moment. "Sex Problem" was the reason. It had been reported that on "Mountain Goat's" 200th climb up Mt St Catherine he helped to save a fellow climber who had a medical problem. Well done we all said. Then I heard how he was found right at the peak with a male dog humping him. There is no way we can change his name now but we can make him Hash Shit Of The Week!!! After leaving the delights of St Patrick it was time to head back down and there was time to call in to Victoria in St Mark's, another beautiful parish, to sample the wonderful food at Food Fest. This is a festival that is held on the last Saturday of each month. It is always a good atmosphere and a well run event. We are hoping to have some new T shirts on sale very soon and also some car stickers. We should also have news on events surrounding our forthcoming 800th hash celebrations. These are due to take place over Thanksgiving weekend. Look out for news on all that later in the week. Next week is a very special hash. It is our Founders hash and where better to stage it than the home of our founder Mr Paul " Rigor Mortice" Slinger. Paul lives at the Tower in St Paul's an old but very beautiful building that I had the pleasure of a guided tour by Paul some years ago. If you have always wondered what hashing was like back in 1985 come along and there will be a chance to find out. Just one rule that MUST be adhered to and that is ALL DOGS MUST BE ON A LEAD AT ALL TIMES. BOTH ON THE TRAIL AND AT THE TOWER. Full details of this not to be missed hash very soon. Till next week ON ON
 

Hash #774 -Pirate Hash

Unbelievable. Did I dream that last night?
If we continue to have that much fun each week the Government will be putting a tax on us!! Yesterday we had hash #774 and I want someone to prove to me that on any of the other 773 hashes more fun was had. What is more unbelievable is the number, 371 signed in. I think that we have only ever had more at the 500th 700th & 750th. All land mark hashes. Now I know I keep mentioning the numbers and I also say that it does not matter but!!!!!

Yesterdays setting on the beach at La Phare Bleu was perfect and with the pirates trail already in place and the addition of the stocks and the dodgy dock we were all set for our Pirates hash. There had been much speculation on where the trails would lead us in an area we had done many times but Mike came up with great trails that tested us and gave us some wonderful views. On our return it was time to start the fun and first up was the two students who signed in on two different sheets but only ticked their names off on one. This is a classic example of why you get a Down Down for this. Imagine if we were in the Grand Etang and the same thing happened only let's say the two in question had left. We would have sent our "Sweat Team " out to look for hashers who are not there. Please sign back in. Thank you.

Next we had a naming ceremony. It came to pass a few weeks ago that one hasher got named "Half Man" after the trail he set he called Half Man. So it was very easy to see calling a trail " Wet Lettuce" was going to get you that name Mike Bingley. This despite doing a great job on the trails.
Then we had our very own " Bush Blackberry" who is a member of our elite "Bush Paparazzi" celebrating his birthday and he too got to celebrate in hash style!!!

Then it was time to relax in the pool and let the music take over. Yes the party defiantly swung last night. Thanks to all at LPB for a great Hashurday. I can confirm that LPB is still standing as I left my shoes and had to go back this morning!!! Today I was due to climb Mt St Katherine with Telfor but due to unforeseen circumstances I declined. I hope it all goes well and climb 200 is a success. Also a few hashers are out on the round the Island bike ride today, good luck to you all. Next week we are with "Crisis" in Chantimelle. He also has the help of " One Lykk" so should be some great trails. More details as soon as I have them.

Off to carry on with "unforeseen circumstances" you all enjoy your Sunday and have a great week. ON ON

Hash#773 La Digue St Andrew's

I'm in shock! No not that "Bust Bar" just about made it with beers in hand but because of the numbers. Now we always say it is not about how many but as long as we have fun. Yesterday there was a lot of other attractions going on and my thoughts were that the numbers would be down, not that it is a problem, but lo and behold we had 236 hashers take on the long journey. Fantastic. They were all rewarded with a great venue and stunning trails. We arrived on Wednesday at 4.30pm to reckie the trail for the first time and it was with trepidation that we set off to see what we could find. "Grandad" and I had two local guys who knew the area well and the result was there for all to see. A great mix on the trails and yes as you can see from the photos it was smiles all the way. Whilst the route was pretty much decided on Wednesday it was the work that "Grandad" put in yesterday that made it a great Hash trail, thanks boss! As you know we follow the paper trail and that way we do not get lost. One hasher decided that the trail was not long enough so he took an extra trail near the end that he knew. This meant however that he was off route and all the hashers that followed were similarly off route. His reward for acting like the pied piper "Hash shit of the week". Well done "Dead".

Now sometimes on the trail you can find your self all alone and these times can be very pleasant. Your mind can wonder but what you can not do is get your phone out and text. This happened to Carmicah Nelson Welcome but what she did not know was that the Commissioner of the "Hash police" was catching her up along with yours truly. She tried to deny the crime and hid the phone down her chest. A hash name was born. "Breast Berry". Like I said earlier "Bust Bar" made it by the skin of her teeth but alas the one mistake was no none meat option. Sorry to those who do not like meat. She is getting better.......just! So to recap. Great location, great trails great numbers and yes great fun!!!!

Next week we are having a "Pirate Hash". The venue is L2 Phare Bleu in Egmont. We have a treasure hunt and prizes for best costume for Men, Women , Kids and Dogs. You will need to get your thinking caps on to find a costume because you can only hash if you are dressed as a Pirate!!! After the main trails there will be a special Pirate trail with prizes galore and with 3 for 10 on the Carib it seems like you are only doing one thing next Saturday.....HASHING IN GRENADA!!!!! Full details soon.

Sunday April 21st is set to be an historic day in Grenada. Telfor Bedeau or as we know him "Mountain Goat" will be attempting his 200th climb of the highest mountain on Grenada Mount St Catherine. Many people have not been up once, including me, but here is a man that is a major part of Grenada's rich history taking on his 200th climb. He has invited as many hashers who would like to go but remember this is no walk in the park. The mountain is very unforgiving. It is a long day. You will be out for 8 hours roughly so you need to be fit to do this. Good foot wear is a must and a water supply. Also the temperature drops the higher you go so be prepared.

Enjoy your Sunday with the welcome sound of April showers. Till next week. ON ON
