Write-up - Castrato

What a superb run. Though let's step back a bit to the beginning. Plod's Pagoda.

Plod's Pagoda? Probably makes sense to the more mature hasher but less so to the bright young things that gathered at the start. A moment of hesitation and then off under the neon archway and into the night.

A little this and that in the town and then up the hillside through mountain villages and barking dogs. Up to a lovely stream running down a culvert which I tried to climb up only realizing belatedly that of course the path went a completely different way.

Further up into alternating shiggy and villages getting more and more remote. Up along beside a catchwater and further up until we reached an old abandoned village with a beautiful ancient stone path.

The stone path was only beautiful for so long though and then we were off into the true shiggyfest. Very difficult going, alternately climbing along steep paths and then down streams. Who knows how Indy managed to set it with only one and half eyes? As she said,

"If I can do it you can do it."

Finally off back down onto a village road, avoiding a checkback, left around the hillside and down through villages onto the main road.

From the main road it was plain sailing for most of us. Not for me because I thought we were going back to Sai Kung. However having been rescued by a fellow hasher it was off down behind the main road and then on it and into Hebe Haven for a slap up meal with lashings of ginger beer.

Hopeless opens up the circle:

Hare - Indy: Well done, great trail

Hare - Indy: Thanks for the great homemade biscuits but we know it was your helper that made them as they are delicious

Octo - Welcome back & we are glad you escaped the bomb

Octo - Thanks for your Israelian goodies too

Castrato - Welcome back & apparently not full-bred English as half French - who would have guessed? - Moi.

Lubricated Mud & her newbies: Welcome to Andy (2nd time at LSW), Veronica, Cassie & Ting

Lubricated Mud - thanks for the fresh meat

Then a rundown from Hopeless of the hash antics with Indy piping in with her tuppence worth as Hopeless obviously knows nothing of the hash !

Lub Mud & Newbies got a taxi to Sai Kung - how much money do you guys earn?

CBB - Longest journey, well done for coming tonight

Bets on the latecomer - yip CUTR - nearly an hour late - for some reason he went to Braemar Hill as that's where we ran last week - go figure

LIT & WCC getting ALL the CBs

Octo late but made up good time - FRB's good markings

Castrato ran back in with Freebee as lost trail

Castrato heading back to SK then Freebee remember it was A~B

CUTR ran backwards

Indy thanks for not charging for the 7 bags of flour unlike CUTR last week & bankrupting LSW

Open to the floor:

LIT to CBB - LIT catching all the spiders for her / plenty of screaming going on

LIT to Indy & Andy - Indy meet Andy - we can have only 1 Indy - LIT can feel a naming coming on here....?

LIT to Indy - Proper hash tonight, keeping everyone together with the long CB's - really enjoyable trail

Octo to CBB - Shouting Spikes instead of spider so not to scare CBB

Octo to Lub Mud - Mother hen takes them only a little into the shiggy then out & down main road

Hopeless to Lub Mud - Well done for bringing 4 friends, might not be friends for long

CUTR to CBB - For not being the new cute one anymore with the fresh young newbies

CUTR wants to rename CBB

Hopeless to Indy - well done, great trail & bash

To sing the song unfortunately, Hare, Castrato & Octo
