On On to a Happy Christmas & New Year

THE CHRISTMAS RUN of 2011:

The SH3 received a briefing from VD

VD re-grouped the runners at back check No 15 where he had promised a drink stop but failed to call XXXX for delivery

The Christmas Hares: Ho, Ho and Ho 

Attention/Warning: New Virgin Runners: Shake It, Chase It - What? - Pole Cat of course

"I'm dreaming of a HASH Christmas"! Santa Skiddy dished out our secret surprises, even a Hash bed!!!!

Lots of fun at the Shout Up which was followed by a traditional Christmas feast with all the trimmings. This included Just Joanna's traditional Columbian fare which had a shot of vodka in it - Yum Yum - Thanks Hares

Mekong Indo-China Hash + NEXT RUN DETAILS on 04th December + WORDS/PHOTOS

Samford Inc RA, Skidmark, Sherpa, Rumourmonger and Spice Girl were among around 260 hashers from some 30 countries who took part in the Mekong Indo-China Hash in Laos in October.  As the most heavily bombed country on the planet, per capita (with about 80 million unexploded ordnance still lurking about the place), Laos might not sound like an ideal hash location. But we had a ball. Highlights included the traditional Red Dress run around the World Heritage listed town of Luang Prabang and a spectacular street procession marking the end of the Buddhist fasting period. 

The hash pièce de résistance, for all the wrong reasons, was the so-called hangover or recovery run. This exhausting stumble in the jungle turned out to be even longer – and definitely more hazardous – than the 12km ball-breaker the previous day! So long, in fact, that some hashers missed flights that afternoon and the many Aussies amongst us missed the live telecast of the Australia-New Zealand Rugby World Cup game (not such a bad miss, given the result!)

All set for the Red Dress run from our curiously named hash HQ, Hotel Phousi (pronounced pussy we're told) L-R Slocum and Jackoff from Singapore Lion City HHH, Rumourmonger, Sherpa and Skidmark. Spice Girl is behind the camera

And they called this the Recovery Run!!!!

Beautiful scenic view at Luang Prabang

Next Run - Sunday 04th December 2011 + Photos

Next Run 04th Dec 2011 - Your Hares: Verbal Diarrhoea & Bite and Suck

Location: Carina - address will be e-mailed out later.     Start Time: 5 pm

Run Report: 6/11/11    -       Cuntry boy hits town

It was the turn of our Grandmaster, Cuntry Member, to lay trail on Sunday November 6, and he didn’t disappoint. In just a few months, he has morphed from a steady plodder into a very athletic FRB, blazing his way around Brisbane like a scalded cat.

We arrived at the run venue expecting to find Cuntry champing at the bit, as usual, but he was nowhere to be seen. Had he finally disappeared up his own backdraught, we wondered?  It turned out he was still marking trail, so it was left to Whippet to lead us into the wilds of Nundah.

At times, we seemed to be going in circles, but it was actually a well-crafted run with plenty of twists and turns, eventually emerging smack bang in the ‘dead centre’ of town. Respectfully weaving our way through the historic headstones at Nundah Cemetery was an interesting experience.  We had time to view the glowing epitaphs of yesteryear,  in contrast to some more modern parting words that spring to mind (e.g. Spike Milligan’s “I told you I was sick” or that other graveyard “dig” at a not-so- dearly departed: “Under this sod, lies another”)

Gerbils was clearly moved by the experience. Back at the circle, she informed us that some 30 Japanese soldiers were buried in the park we were standing in. This turned out to be total BS (she’d misread a nearby memorial), and she was rightly given a down-down for telling us huge porkies! Down-downs were also given to the hare and to virgin runner, Joanne, from Colombia. Cuntry was then hauled back into the circle for confusing Colombia with Peru (don’t ever get him to book flights for you!)

Rumourmonger and Spice Girl presented Cuntry’s “member” with a tasteful souvenir from the recent Mekong Indo-China Hash in Laos. We can’t vouch for Lao product quality control, so hopefully we won’t be seeing strawberry-flavoured offspring trotting behind Cuntry in a few years’ time!

On On!

Next Run - Sunday 06th November 2011 - Start Time 4 PM + Photos

Your Hare: Cuntry Member

Location: Meet in the car park of Prince of Wales Hotel, Nunda - Cnr of Sandgate and Buckland Road - UBD Page 140 - M/2 is as close as I can describe.

Start Time: 4 PM

Last Run Report: Our Hare was Gerbils.

The RUNNERS get briefed in "CHALK" language - we quickly realised that "Chalking" its much easier than "Talking" and it makes you fitter as well.

We set off at a snails pace because the grass was long and hid the flour, but we soon reached harder ground and once we got Chalking the pace picked up. As always the Hare lead us on some new and interesting trails that took in most of the hills in the area, it felt like we visited them several times.
Stubby had a few sore bits to contend with and took it slowly (so whats new!) but the skills of the Hares checks keep the pack together the whole way. Its satisfying to see the FRB's get the checks wrong time after time.

And so we came to the On On: Here is the preamble down down bullshit for Hare Gerbils.

Virgin Hasher Alex testing the nectar - welcome to SH3 Inc

After that Gerbils had the camp stove on and we all fell silent for a while - yummy, thanks Gerbils.

Next Run - Sunday 02nd October 2011 - Start Time 4 PM

Hare: Gerbils (while Whippet is jet-setting)

Location: Teralba Park (off Pullen Rd) UBD Page 138 - M/1

Last Run: Thanks to Topless of Margate, who alone knows where the trail was actually meant to go. The pack soon got lost, but we had fun taking in the Top Spots such as Margate Beach and the Wildlife Paradise Park with all the newly hatched Sacred Ibis chicks.

The On On was preceded with an AGM for SH3 Inc. Thanks to those volunteers that stepped forward to serve you - we welcome in our new team. Cuntry member was elected as El Presidenti and Whippet as your new Treasurer, which explains why he is jet-setting already. Skiddy took over the duties of RA.

And so to the On On led by Cuntry Member - Snake Charmer introduced Nicky to the Hash and Phantomsdaughter brought along No Name.

Schnapps spotted Biggus Dickus in new shoes, and we all know what hash tradition is imposed on those who are foolhardy enough to test the will of the RA.

Sinners came in the form of Whippet and Sherpa, I can't remember what it was for except that it must have been well deserved.

Hash Nosh followed. Topless indeed went over the Top and provided more than what is expected, but it was gratefully consumed by all. 

The next run takes us to Teralba Park - On On

Next Run - Sunday 04th Sept 2011 - Start Time 4 PM

Your Hare: Topless

Location: Margate Beach/Redcliffe. New to Hash, call 0410226466 for directions.

Last Run Report:

Rumormonger and Spice Girl are passionate creek dwellers and as it had rained most of the day the creek would be flowing. We knew to take a spare pair of shoes for the On On
We arrived to see that Gentleman Jim, a Virgin Hasher, had turned up on his motorbike, oh what a cold ride home!

It wasn't long before we were wading in the South Pine River but by now it was a Sunny Afternoon - remember the Kinks and "the taxman's taken all my doe" most of us were old enough.

Good trails and checks kept us all together as we wheezed our way up the hills and back to the House of Curry and the inspirations of Spice Girl.
The brassier was lit, this and Schnapp's Glueh wine was a a real hit. Skiddy and Whippet ensured the shout up was the usual lively affair.

            Hash "On the Rocks" - were Bootee took a dip

            Highvale K2 climbers didn't need any O2

Welcome back Muka puki, Oils, Tough nuts and Modesty blaze

Those Celebrities who had their phones hacked gather around the final addition of NofTW to view the final transcript of Skiddy when he asked Eagle Boys if they "doliver", yes we deliver - the final centre fold words did not end in "Thank You and Goodbye"

Next Run - Sunday 07th August 2011 - Start Time 4 PM

Your Hares: Rumourmonger & Spice Girl

Location: Samford/Highvale area - New Hashers call 0410226466 for directions.

Last Run Words:


The hills are alive with the sound of wheezing...
At least they were at Lomandra Picnic Area on July 3 as we set off on another of Stubby's deceptive "flat" runs that keep going up, up, up!
Assisted by his partner in climb, Schnapps, the trail twisted and turned through the undulating nether regions of Ferny Grove (an area notorious for after-dusk undulations, according to Stubby who knows about such things). A combination of crafty false trails, back checks and altitude sickness kept the pack together, and reined in our regular FRBs Cuntry Member and Grouse Sheila.
Back at the circle, the hares dished up a superb, chill-thawing spread. Skiddy raffled off everything except his beloved Red Dress tutu in support of Nash Hash activities. We welcomed back Bootee and Biggus Dickus and sadly farewelled Holy Smoke, a Samford Inc regular, who is moving to Noosa, and will be greatly missed - until we all roll up at her new pad for dinner!
Over-achiever down-downs were awarded to Whippet for whipping through the Gold Coast half-marathon in 1hr 22 mins that morning and to Rumourmonger for completing an extra loop on Stubby's hill-a-thon. Great run, fun and food - thanks hares!
Next run: Sunday August 7 at 4:00pm. Hares: Rumourmonger & Spice Girl at their House of Correction (address via email for first-time visitors to Samford's red-light district).

Grouse Sheila lead the way - again

Next Run - Sunday 03rd July 2011 - Start Time 4 PM

LASTS WEEKS BIRTHDAY RUN

We all gathered in Ashgrove at this spot:

Where we were greeted by our Hares:

Who told us the good news that Skiddy was 50 again!!!!!

There followed a very crafty Hash Trail with plenty of checks and backchecks to make maximum use of the bushland that surrounds the Granite Quarry towards Mt Coot-tha.

Almost the entire route was bushland and there were enough hills to force a few grunts out of most of us,   however Rumourmonger insisted it was just a severe cough.

When we gathered for the Circle we were delighted to receive a Special T shirt to mark the occasion, it was evident that Art Attack had been involved and produced another of her award winning Hash designed T shirts:

The usual generosity of the Hares did not end there either, Skiddy and Sherpa whisked us away to The Gap Tavern for dinner and jugs of nectar to finish the On On. Lets hope he lives till 100!

Thanks Hares.

Next Run - Sunday 05th June 2011 - New Time of 4 PM

Holy Smoke did us proud on the 1^st of May with a good work out for the running pack that connected up with the walkers at about 50 minutes with a leisurely return to base in just over the hour. A good size turnout of regulars and occasional with the addition of Blueberry from Thirsty as a Samford virgin.

Sunday 5^th June sees us in the Gap. Start point is the Rotary shelter on the corner of Waterworks Road and Glenquarie place. UBD Page 158 - G/2. Parking either at the Gap tavern, or Baileys Road giving rear access to the park. Parking is limited so leave space for the beer truck. For those that know the area Skidmark promises that he will neither be going up or down El Paso.

 Holy Smoke gets a Down Down for her Suez to Hobart -The Late Easter Race

Blueberry was a Samford Virgin.

Sinners again - Grouse Sheila and Verbal Diarrhoea

Next Run - Sunday 01st May - New Time of 4 PM

Your Hare: Holy Smoke

Location: Suez St, Mitchelton. UBD 138 - K/8 (Look for hashers!!!)

Time: New Winter time of 4 PM


Our last run was everything you would expect from Grouse Sheila. A trail that was well marked and set with checks that had us all confused.

Mount Coot-tha lived up to expectations as well, as you can see from the photo it took a Sherpa to lead the way from our little picnic spot by the falls. Nobody got swept away, but Art Attack did take a tumble when she tried to hurdle Miles.


The On On attracted a couple of French Hashers who made various excuses as to why they were too late to do the run, but we all knew it was just a fear of hights.

Thanks Grouse Sheila.

Next Run - Sunday 03rd April 2011 at 5 PM - Last Run Report

Next Run – Sunday 03^rd April 2011 at 5 PM

Your Hare: Grouse Sheila

Hares Promise – You will see water falls but no hills, we’ll be out in time for the evenings news on Channel 7 – which evening she didn’t say!!!!

Last Run Report - Photos below

Hashers gathered at Teralba Park on a windy afternoon, wondering if one of the many squally showers was going to hit us before the start, but the weather held off until after we were fed, thanks for arranging that hares!

Pre-briefed with latitude, longitude and elevation it was evident that we were going to visit Michelton’s highest point, which help us guess most of the many checks with some degree of success.

After the high points we decended to pass some streams with considerable flood damage, and did our best to reunite a dog owner with her 2 lost dogs.

The Circle was fun with lively, and frequent, interruptions from Bite & Suck. Boxy and Rini were welcomed back informing us that Shit Zu had fled to Japan.  We have since learnt that she realizes that life is not so bad here after all and she is now back home safe and sound.

Gerbils and Whippet, thanks, we all enjoyed the run, sausage sizzle, chutney and more!!!

 The Happy Hares

Words for Hash Run of 06th February 2011 - Well a few!

Rumourmonger & Spice Girl did us proud by filling in as Hares and we were all expecting a re run of their excellent Thirsty Run the Thursday before.

No no no, not at all, in the rain they set us a completely new trail, including some Virgin territory, and we all enjoyed and appreciated their efforts.

Here is a snap of some of the water rats as they cool off on a very humid day, not to mention the sweat from keeping up with the pace that Grouse Sheila set.

Kerry our new runner got sorted out with how many times you can be a Virgin at the shout up, and Pot Luck did the dinner.  A fun evening, special thanks to the Hares.

On On

Another Great Day For Hashing- Cuntry Members Run of 09th Jan 2011:
Eleven water-proof hashers turned up in Albany Creeks Water World next to the Sandy Creek. The wild weather warnings meant nothing to them (except for Gerbils !) and the only serious question was if any chalk or flour would be visible for directions on the run…..
Hare Cuntry Member had chosen the safer option of his shredder supplies 

.

First we came across a false trail with no other way than to go back and to take the first dip into the floods. Followed by as many plunges as one can include into a 90 minute refreshing hash through some lake districts, water ways, Colorado River like creeks, lush green parklands and forest.

The well designed wet season route disappointed no one and the smell of beer and wine activated a well known sense of how to get back to home!

Non stop rain at  the on on under the tin roof, the girls forecast was “It's raining men”. RA Whippet dished out some hash fines and the attention changed to Cuntry’s nibbles and hash nosh, which we all enjoyed.

It was just another great day for hashing. Thanks Cuntry Member!  ON ON

Volunteer to be a hare, it's great fun! Plus the Chinese New Year of the Hare - sorry - Rabbit will start just 3 days beforehand!  

Come and join us. The next run on 06th Feb will be marked with chop sticks and the weather will be perfect, dry & hot to make you thirsty.
