Hash #772 4 For $10 in Beausejour

4 for $10............sounds good but in reality.... Ohhhhh my head. There are reports coming in of phones and keys misplaced and problems getting home. Oops.

Having Jah Wise and Danny back on the trail setting this last week felt good and I can tell you we had a blast setting it. We think everyone enjoyed it and we enjoyed the comments re false trails. Hehehe. It was another first as we had not hashed through Perseverance before and I was amazed that no one called it a "Rubbish" trail!!!

Even the beer stop was well placed and needed on the hot day we had and although we told people not to take the bottles on the trail some did not listen and down downs will be handed out next week. The wicked twist at the end was welcomed I think and lets face it if we did not use that rickety bridge we would not be true hares. A great way to end the hash but oh "Wet Bush" you paid the price for your refusal to walk the walk.

I have to say a big thank you to the hash police. They are doing a great job and adding to the after party fun. Now back to the beer. most places we go are a bit sceptical that we can drink that much beer and so it proved that this week was no different. With a big fridge full of beer they were very confident that we could not drink it all.....about 6pm there they are filling it back up. Never underestimate the hashers!!

The one downside yesterday was the food and again they were told what time to have it ready and what numbers to expect. I think they got a big shock. We need to take the bar owner to a hash to let them see for themselves what goes on. Next week we are back to 3 for 10 and we are off to La Digue. Now last time we were there "Bust Bar" put the bar on and she lived up to her name. Before the last ones were back in we had run out of beer. This time I know there will be no repeat performance. Full details to follow shortly.

I can also report that plans are under way for our special hashes coming up including our 800th hash in October. We are starting early to make sure of we get it right.

Now where are those headache pills. I think I need a swim. on on

Hash#771 Lance Aux Epines

Easter holidays, time for a well earned rest......in your dreams "Softwood". Good Friday I meet up with two old friends visiting Grenada off a cruise ship. First time here and as you would expect they loved it. After a full guided tour of The Isle of Spice it was time to say goodby to four friends who have been here for three months. Saturday dawns and time for some peace before the hash. No such luck it turns out we have the most insecure barman on Grenada who calls me at minutes to seven to say "I want to please you today" and " What time are the tents coming" . This was not a good start and I should have been alerted to the warning signs of what was to come but I was too busy working at my house. As the day progressed I got more and more phone calls. Then I call "Hopeless" and he assures me "all is well with the paper set on two lovely trails" I turn up at the beach around 3.15pm and already plenty of people anticipating a trail around the roads of Lance Aux Epines. 3.50pm and the newly elected Member of Parliament for the South St Georges constituency Minister Alexandra Otway-Noel arrives. Everything looking good so off we go with a thought that can it be this good. Only a few steps further on and I got the answer......NO. A bottle neck which took 30mins to clear then we were away. Off into the quarry which for now resembles a mini grand canyon. Pass some more pricker and we reach the mud flats. OK if this is the worst then fine but then we are soon on the rocks around the point. All doable but then we hit the mud!!!!. Now sometimes we say we nearly lose people and we are usually joking. On this occasion we were not. I know of two very important people who were sinking fast and up to their waist in quick sand. It is at this point that I have to remind you of the position of "Hopeless" within the hash. He is second in command of the hares!!!! He has all the instructions that tell you how not to set a hash. I think we missed a word out. We finally get everyone back in one piece....well those who were above ground. On to the fun and no guesses as to who will be "Hash Shit Of the Week"!!! "Spiderman" took it on the chin but " Hopeless" was off to make himself look nice... 10 Hours later..... We will get you next week. Sunday and that is spent helping out at the Triathlon at Port Louis. A large contingent of hashers were participating and all did really well. I think it was down to the fact that every time they passed me I shouted out their hash names....Lucy Murchie was not amused. Great job to everyone who represented GH3 Yesterday. Monday dawns and I for one moment thought I had a day off..... Then I recall I'm meeting Jah Wise to reckie the trail for this Saturday. I can tell you that there is no repeat of the bad walkers trail. We have a great trail and the runners is also good but with a 200foot rope section!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have good food planned in the shape of crayfish waters, not had that for some time. 6 hours later after Tacky passed us and left us on the road I get home and can type this novel. Now the holidays can start. Hope your Easter was kind to you. See you on Saturday in Beausejour. ON ON
 

Hash #770 Dothan St Johns

Thanks Troy despite the mass confusion on the trails I think we all had a blast. Starting from the bar at Dothan aka White gate in the parish of St Johns gives you a real sense of how beautiful and quiet places are ..........until the hash comes to town!!!! So Troy decided it would be good fun to have the walkers and runners on the same trail but in opposite directions. I can tell you that this is a recipe for complete and utter confusion. Hashers, two different directions and false trails a plenty. We did not let Troy down with many hashers on the runners ending up on the walkers and the walkers ending up on the runners. Confused? So am I. Still that is what hashing is about and then we had the sea to cool off in. Now for some time Troy has been escaping a hash name. You see he is very clever as he does no wrong. I think secretly he wanted the hash name yesterday but you have to be careful what you wish for Troy Felix for having two entry points on the trails you will now be known as " Double Entry" !!!! Where your new name with pride. Now for the first time in GH3's history I forgot to bring the Virgin certificates along. To all those virgins there yesterday I'm very sorry but as promised to a few of you it will be e-mailed. We did have one hasher in health trouble yesterday but thankfully he was well enough to drive home. Thanks to the kind nurses who gave medical attention to him. Next week is Easter and on Saturday we are having a hash on Prickly Bay beach in Lance Aux Epines. Early news is that we need to be prepared to get wet on the trail. Hmmmm." Hopeless" is the hare along with our superhero " Spiderman" lord help us. We did point out that it is full moon this week!!! Next Sunday is Tri De Spice and as I have mentioned a few times we have been asked to provide marshalls for the day. Please try and give a day or just the morning to help this annual event run smooth. Call 449 1010 if you want to volunteer. If you are going to the beach today enjoy. If you are in UK I'm sorry for you. I'm referring to the multiple feet of snow you have, us we have two feet ........in the sand. ON ON
