Wednesdays Run: Has been. Was at WPCC in the rain

Well here I am, back in the land of nod after my adventurous trip to Japan. Now I have been voluntarily compelled to set this Sunday’s run, so I take it I have to write this letter about last Sundays run. Well as I was not there I suppose I will have to write about my run in Tokyo. But before we get there just a word of caution for those who are planning a long trip with Emirates. If you are travelling in economy class with the rest of the plebbs make sure you get a seat closer to the front of the aircraft otherwise by the time they come around to offer you chicken or fish, no beef, they would have run out of chicken, and eating fish on an aircraft is not my idea of fun. Just by the way it happened twice to me on the way there and once on the way back. Now once in Tokyo if you are planning on drinking a lot of beer make sure you bring tons of money because at about R50 a beer you won’t be drinking much, except water. Luckily for me our sponsors were keen for us to try there beer, called Asahi, which is a light beer, so I got plenty to drink. I must admit it isn’t a bad tasting beer at all. Tokyo, which happens to be the largest populated city of the world with 35 million people and a sprawl of buildings that just don’t seem to end, navigating around it to find a hash run can be an experience on its own. So picture this, you are standing in the train station, with a tsunami of people are continually walking past you which just doesn’t seem to end, and you are staring at the direction board to try and see where you need to go. Unfortunately for you it is all in Japanese, F#$%! So you head off to find a stationmaster who can maybe direct you in the right direction. Now this wally doesn’t understand a word of English, but you happen to remember your tour bus guide was kind enough to write the name for you in Japanese so you take out this piece of paper and in your best Japanese-English you point at the name and say “I go here”, and in his best Japanese-English he tells you to F#$% off, or so it seams. But eventually after much deliberation he manages to point you in the right direction, and if you have not prayed before you soon find yourself praying aloud; ‘Oh God please get me on the right train.” Now all Jap trains are coloured for the different lines they run on, so you only have to look out for your colour and head off in the right direction. So eventually after 30 minutes of praying I arrived at my station feeling rather proud of myself that I have navigated my way around. Finding the run from here was simple, as the hare had laid arrows pointing the direction to the gathering point. I was warned to get there on time as they start promptly, and they did. Shortly before we set off I met up with Corkscrew who had come out to SA and had run on Wednesday with us. At precisely 7.30, 8 checks were called with a booze stop at check 8, and before we set off, to ensure no one gets lost, each person is given a piece of chalk to mark the true trail. There are no walkers in this hash and with about 25 runners we were off, and I can see why their hash is called Fuckov hash; their concept of a jog is more like a sprint. After 1 hour of running I came across the On-In, and I paid my 1000-yen, which is about R76, so I could tuck into the beer and snacks. The circle is held only after everyone has eaten and drunk as this is there way of ending the run. The circle went on for about 45 minutes with me drinking copious amounts of beer from sins ranging from been GM, visiting foot, not been on there next run and so on… My journey home proved to be easier as corkscrew had to take the same train home, so he just guided me in the right direction as to when to get off the train. The amazing thing was the amount of people who were still commuting at 11.15 in the evening, It felt as if the rush hour had just started. And that was my journey to Tokyo hash.

Last weeks run # 1433 : Hare: PUSSYGALORE 2
This letter, like the above run almost did'nt happen.The hare forgot about the run. With 1hr:15mins before the starting time, run setting commenced, One hour five mins later the run had been set and under stormy clouds, the run started with Dutch Cap leading the pack to check two on a high contour path. Miss Toblerone led the pack to check three, whereupon Gutterguts followed by Bullwanker encountered a falsie deep in the forest. Meanwhile Longdrop and Pussygalore found the trail and headed up thru the mist to check 4 where Cape Town's greatest hasher provided liquid refreashment, Old Brown Shit! Duly fortified, the pack headed up and deep into the forest , the home horrid evil creatures such as, Trolls, Dwarfs, Hobbitts and Boblets. Talking of Boblet, it was noted he had vanished along with his bum chum Gargoyle No Neck. With no trace to be found of Boblet and his chum, the pack found the trail and headed down to the lower contour path where check 9 morphed into a live run to check 10. Nobody caught the hare so home run was declared and all headed home.
Thanks to Pussygalore and Heranus for an excellent run. Also thanks to Pussy for the doughnuts.
