Rent A Crowd and Big Al were out
in the warm 24c evening Moray air...
Brenda retains her Canaries Tan
but the recent Moray sunshine has intensified the glow...She ponders over
the tales of Dog behaviour which Dog Biscuit relates to her giving his
considerable knowledge of the area.....
A return of Bruce also Jean, now
that she has replaced her Magnesium alloys ruined in Teindland some weeks
ago while copying a Rally car stunt as she explains to Mr Blue Sky......
Dark Horse cracks a joke to the
delight of Spotty Dog and Dog Biscuit.......
Boy Racer is reminded of the
'punch line' ...........And chortles that this was going to be a 'stinger'
of a trail he has laid.......
Ella arranges her Parisian
Hairstyle into in up position so that she can run faster and unimpeded by
long hair in her face......
That's better she tells Fay who
adjusts her belt while listening to Boy Racers briefing on the run
trail.......
Deeee......Daaaa ,,,,,,the Police
driver slows as he notes Hash flash catching him on camera....On On
The assembled hashers are in a good mood for the run and ready to go.........
However, GM has awarded the Hash
Balls and chain (recently traced by Wine D Roads in the Hash Trash) to Mr
Blue Sky as a token of his energy and speed on past trails........Not sure
if he is chuffed or hacked off at the thought of lugging these objects
around the trail......Brenda offers a suggestion on how to hang
them....Dog are on her mind.......
Boy Racer explains that this run
really starts some way up the hill as he had given the incorrect start
point......Rowan and Ella don't mind but Spotty Dog and Rent A Crowd are
nonplussed.......
Fay twiddles her hair into a speedy pigtail position to the delight of Brenda her running mate........
As the briefing about the scenic
route goes on, Mr Blue Sky becomes ever anxious about the effect the balls
are going to have on him.......
And .....they're off.....
Do not attempt this knee twist at home; Rentacrowd has spent years in training to get this good
Beautiful evening stillness and slanted sunshine .....
Plunge forest wards.......
Fay maintains a discreet
distance.......
Ahead the fast red flashes right
are Rowan and Ella... streaking ahead..........
Others simulate ........ for the
record......
Jean is absorbed......
Boy Racer is vibrating.....
Rowan is energised......
Big Al leads Fay, Ella and
Brenda.....
Mr Blue Sky is encumbered with
balls and chain....
Fay leads Bruce into the long
disused and overgrown quarry .....
Up the forest trails they
fly......
Deviating here and there unaware
of the buzzing around......
Rentacrowd slips under the
fence....
Next a fine technique from
Bruce.......
Oh my head,.......I really should
have noticed that tree......
Dog Biscuit show a sun-tanned
backward style.......
Down ...deep into the Quarry
Wood.....There's something on my leg...shouts Fay....
Ferns disguise ground
homes.........as Bruce steams away..
Look at that.......I've been stung
by a wasp says Bruce .....
.............here and here
And so has Fay but Bruce's removed the sting from her sock....as she bravely cries....a French.......Aye, Aye, Ouch. Ouch..
Ahead, Brenda screams and ducks
and dives, as she is stung on the head.....
Fay, on jumping up to her Grandpa, is stung again by a wasp sitting on his T-shirt......
And another on her leg......
So, a rapid retreat to
the CP where a black form is observed on the mossy wall...
Yup, Running Sore apparently went to the next road and missed the start......and commiserates with Fay on her wasp stings....
To the rescue Wine D roads
please for this little girl needs antiseptic to cool the swelling.....
Soon the Harriers return led by Mr
Rusty.......
Brenda relates to Ella about her wasp sting........
Bruce ripples his wasp stung leg
muscles for Wine D Roads.........
As 3 Hashers (who are bound for Texas at the weekend) are prepared to get named........
First "Stookie" has a
water scoop.....admired by his sisters...
Then "Bambi" takes a
sip......
Before "Roxy" shows how hashers do it....... to the songs of the hashers....
So a great run, "it was exceptionally good according to Stookie" and summed up as a 'stinger/ by Bruce as the hash wished the youngsters well.......On On
