The weekend that was….
Dutchcap and I set off at 10am on Friday morning for a leisurely drive to Beaverlac with great anticipation for our annual Hash winter weekend away. The views along the way were stunning and the last 4 kms of road was as treacherous as promised.
On arrival we are surprised to see that Bullwanker and Tracy are already there with 4 dogs(Vicky, Rusty, Marty and brain-dead Tiffany) in tow.
The size of the huts was small, but warm and anyway we were only sleeping there as the rest of the time we were definitely going to have fun.
Hashers arrived in drips and drabs with Longdrop and keel over arriving and the very last was the Mills family with the chicken soup and sherry. We started the party way before then with the veggie soup and beer like any good hasher. The party was then extended when the sherry and chicken soup arrived.
Saturday morning we woke to a glorious sunshine day. The sherry gave Bullwanker the hangover she bitched about all day, while Her_anus, Blabbermouth, Latreen and Graverobber set off to make sure we have a run worthy of the beautiful venue. As the morning wore on everyone else made their way to the waterfall for some serious R&R.
The run started at 2pm-ish with very few dressing up for the cowboy theme. Yours truly had my swanky red cowgirl hat, gun belt and pistols ready for action. The chocolates I won for best dressed are wonderful.
The run started out as a leisurely walk and the walkers did most of the run as well. Check 5 was a sherry re-group. Keel over and Currybum continued their longstanding flirtatious affair of dunking each other in water. With a little help from Koeksuster, Currybum went head first into the water and lost my pistol (it did not float – what type of plastic does not float!). Somehow Boblet who was missing in action for most of the run appeared as a front runner..?
Just before check 8 Blabbermouth decides to walk over fences instead of opening them nicely and closing them again behind him. Needless to say the fence was destroyed. Check 8 is where the annual egg throwing competition was resurrected by Her_anus. 9 pairs of hashers started tossing an egg or two. It was promptly decided that it is far more fun to toss the eggs at our hare.
The trail then wound its way to the water-up (not waterfall) spout. From there everyone followed the path above the true waterfall and a trail was blazed down to cross the river. Boblet was almost swept away by the river when he tried to save ‘no brain with brawn dog’ Tiffany. A few hashers went for a final swim in the river (Keel over, Longdrop, Currybum, Koeksuster), while Gutterguts and Graverobber showed us all how it is done by jumping off the top of the cliff over the waterfall to the river below – very impressive guys.
Our RA was cold and wet and we waited for absolute ages to start the ceremony while she warmed herself up…
Sinners:
Gutterguts – forgetting down-down mugs
Helgar – shite directions to Beaverlac
Her_anus – hare
Latreen, Blabbermouth, Brave robber – co-hares
Boblet – missing on trail and then getting to the front somehow?
Underdog – walking on the run with shite excuse of carrying Alyssa
Keel over & Koeksuster – child abuse of Currybum
Bone Idle – why not
Jagsmeisie – hat in circle
Dutchcap – she doesn’t drink beer on a run. Why else do we run?
The RA then dipped her filthy slops into the large tankard to stir the brew inside.
Gutterguts and Her_anus share this tankard for their 50th and 75th runs set respectively.
Bone Idle & Blabbermouth share the large shorts for shortcutting
Longdrop – forgot shit shirt & drinks from our little red toilet
Easy rider – knocked drinks over on run with an egg
Rancid Scotty Weasel Piss – no hash shirt and did not pitch for the run
Tracey gets hash handle – Doggy style
Boblet – for attempting to drown while saving a dog
RA – for bringing dogs that drown Boblet
Boblet – for not making sure hash drinks are cold
The fires were then lit to start the 3 potjies for supper. Gutterguts you outdid yourself. Jagsmeisie said she would drive to Beaverlac any day for your potjie again. It was really good. The rice, salads and desserts went down rather well with our 3 potjies.
The annual Award ceremony was held quickly before we could indulge into the supper.
Firstly down-down were awarded to Latreen and Her_anus for sleeping and being late.
Scribe of the year – Derelict
Graverobber bravely volunteered to have the down down on Derelict’s behalf
Hashette of the year – Thunderthighs
Hasher of the year – Boblet – he has never missed a run
Run of the year – Koeksuster
Spirit of Hash – Gutterguts
The new committee is as follows:
Hash master – Boblet (receding hareline)
On Sec – Keel over (send your newsletters to her to distribute weekly)
Haberdash – Koeksuster (this has gone back to its original function as T-shirts, socials and weekend away organization)
Mountain Goat – Snake Charmer (to arrange quarterly hikes for all interested)
Web Wench – Easy Rider (to maintain website)
Hash kos - Blabbermouth - the odd Sunday boerie rolls, etc.
Hash cash – Gutterguts (the booze)
Grand master – Helgar ( Oh great ruler of all Cape town hash)
Religious Advisor – Her_anus (down-down giver)
After supper, the whiskey club made their appearance and stayed up late tasting their supplies.
As it was our winter weekend away the weather obliged and we woke up Sunday morning to rain. Keel over and Longdrop got such a ‘skrik’ when they saw the weather they did an early morning duck home. You missed out big time on breakfast.
The ‘die hard’ run was an arranged trek to the new GM’s hut where the champagne breakfast was absolutely yummy. Vicky those flapjacks were great!
Pussy galore 2. We missed you. We know you were sick and could not make it at the last minute, but you would have had a great time and really missed out on a great relaxing weekend. You have a run in 2 weeks remember please.
