RECENT RUNS; RUN #146 – 31st July, Masseube : 

HARES: PISSOLES, assisted by ETHANOL
When the Hare reccied the trail a week earlier, Masseube’s idyllic, bucolic, surroundings were peaceful – not a car nor a human, nor even a hasher, in sight.  Come Hash day – WOW!! – a cast of thousands emerged from the woodwork – but the vast majority were non-hashers, attending the annual fete and huge brocante, not to mention the fishing competitors now lining the banks of the GERS in what is normally the quietest woodland in the department!   But a score of real GH3 hashers were  made of sterner stuff and not to be put off by mere multitudes of the chattering classes,  sedentary munchers, bargaining brocanters, delinquent dancers and, finally,  comatose anglers.     

Highlights
Good turnout: – 18, including a returnee and 2 visitors.  The presence of 3 sprogs reduced the average age by several decades.
  At the Circle, DOGGY dispensed wine from a very great height, much of which missed the target, GUMBOOT’s mouth, and soaked her t-shirt.  What is it about GUMBOOT that encourages male HHHashers to destroy her HHHash t-shirts?
  JAY was almost christened (see below) with beer but she demanded thé de mente.  
  3 REAL DOGS (the canine variety) were on trail:    ♪♪..  One black one, one white one, & one with a bit of shite on .. ♪♪ …  sniffing each other’s, and occasional hashers’, rear ends, especially DOGGY’s. 
  SPROUT introduced Joseph (1 y.o) to panachés before we could baptise him “PANACHE”.  He was “over the limit” so (lest he be arrested for drink-walking) he had to be carried home.
   Many thanks to SHEEPSHAGGER (R.A.), AIRHEAD (beer master) and TERMINATOR for barbecue duties.

Lowlights
  NUFFIN’ ON was definitely not ON-ON when she was spotted SHOPPING during the run 
  SHEEPSHAGGER & FRUIT MACHINE quickly got lost.  Were they SHOPPING too, or simply gossiping, thus missing trail-marks?  But, sly as ever, they caught up easily by taking the kiddies’ short –cut route.
  HEDGEHOCK drank us dry (before, during & after the run)
  WELLINGTON pitched after the run, dressed for a cocktail party
  SNOWY (née BATHTUB (née JAY), at christening, waved her arms like a windmill, sprinkling hhholy hhhash water, everywhere except on her hhhead !!   Repeat baptism required?
  DOGGY was reported sniffing dogs – (name & nature?)
  On trail, neither BOOTSIE nor FELIX called “On-On” once.  Later, they retired from the Circle to compete in the GH3 darts championship;   result: missing Hash asset, viz: one dart …… er??
  HHHEDGEHOCK drank us dry
  DOGGY, the FRB, treated the whole trail as an Olympic training run – he was chief candidate for GH3’s HOLE OF SHAME, but PISSOLES forgot to bring the bog seat!   A treat in store, DOGGY !!   … At one stage, DOGGY complained he was “lost” and insisted that a rubbed-out false-trail mark still existed - well, the cunning hare had to slow him down somehow!  …  and that wouldn’t have mattered so much, until  DOGGY  told the rest of the pack that they were all lost too (They weren’t!) 
  DRUNKHOCK dredged us high!
Middling-( Piddling? ) lights
  DOGGY kindly presented PISSOLES with a mug that pisses beer!  A hole in the side of the mug, cunningly drilled exactly opposite a right-handed drinker – another wet t-shirt!  Very punny!  Had PISSOLES been a left-handed drinker, the mug’s hole would have pissed beer over DOGGY instead.  Next time?
  At the piss-stop, AIRHEAD & HEDGEHOCK scrumped and swallowed the entire stock of fruit from a nearby Mirabelle tree (was that because they had exhausted the beer supplies?)
  FRIZZ had to leave the Circle in order to put little PANACHE into his cot (lucky PANACHE !)

Heavy-lights 
  TERMINATOR was a hero:-   After several beers (grabbed before Hedgehock spotted them!),  he still managed to shoulder 2 small harriettes (ENEMY & MADLY), for 30 mins., from piss-stop to the ON-IN.

RECENT RUNS; #143, 1st May 2016 at Castelanu Magnoac; 
HARES; Dr Doolittle and Goody Sherpa

Having gathered a quorum of worthies……… special guest Doggy( and Hedgehock's canine accessory) more or less on time at the recently renovated Chateau Relax, Castelnau Magnoac  Lady Doo-dah and followers sallied forth on a live hash in search of the trail, fleeting sunshine and a bucolic meander into neighbouring valleys. The sun shone wanly , the clouds scudded breezily, the birds sang chirpily, the insects buzzed whirringly and Lady Doo-dah nattered knowingly about the doings of the local peasantry while the knitting club were lost in their own nature walk.
  All was fine and pleasant  as we hacked and tacked across meadow, ditch and mire until we surmounted a bohm and there encountered a serious obstruction in the shape of a plastic-duck shooter outraged that we should be marching towards his pond and intent on defending his realm. Lady Doo-dah remonstrated with and attempted to deviate from this irate obstruction and attempted to plough on regardless, but he was armed, drunk and driving an all-terrain vehicle and inevitably after some nerve-wracking moments of stand-off our retreat was ordered, in fact rather disordered as we stumbled backwards through ditch and brush until we had dropped out of his sights and could re-set our sights on the more calming prospect of the hash halt and drink stop a bosky dale or two away...
  It was a steep and lengthy climb back to Chateau Relax and its now resplendent pizza piazza where we wound down in required circular fashion and in between imbibing and ingesting resolved various important issues and to meet again sometime before the harvest moon , but without venturing anywhere near Godzilla the Gascon...:-)   OnOn Goin’ ‘Rong

RECENT RUNS; #142, 20th March 2016 at Montestruc-sur-Gers; 

HARES; Tammy and Robert

15 Hashers attended, what can only be described as an unconventional Hash!
One of the two Hares greeted us in the busy village centre amidst a vide grenier; luckily no-ones boots were sold before the walk.  We then drove a complete Hash in convoy, only to discover that when we finally stopped, we had yet another Hash to do on foot!
The absent Hare had left us with a sketchy map (it turns out that Hashers CANNOT read maps!), a couple of cryptic clues (it turns out that Hashers ARE NOT cryptically wired!) and no flour to follow 
(it seems that Hashers NEED flour!).  There was however, an incentive - to find chocolate eggs hanging in trees (it seems that Hashers LOVE chocolate!).  So by a miracle of milk, cocoa and sugar, we found our
 way around the route.  The second hasher popped up part way round (near chocolate!) and we enjoyed the lovely countryside of the mid-northern Gers. 
We then completed a third Hash ‘en voiture’ and arrived back at the Hares house where we actually had a circle.  Lots of down-downs- were given, mostly to the ‘3 French virgins and 2 turtle doves’ who committed the usual misdemeanours of pointing, not using Hash names, using mobiles and having a pee.
AIRHEAD received his habitual down-down, this time for starting and not finishing!  The Hares are still owed one for refusing to leave the kitchen to have a down-down.  We ate a fab. spread of pork, potatoes, salads, crepes and yet another of GOODY SHERPAS mind blowing cakes ☺
OnOn
Until the next.

RECENT RUNS; #141, 24th January 2016, New Year Run at Aussos;

HARES; WELLINGTON & BOOTSIE

A long time ago in Aussos …… there was a Hash.  It was a warm, sunny day and many people gathered – 

including lots of under 16’s and virgins.  The Hash was too long and too muddy.

There were too few drinks   and nibbles at the HH, which had also been hidden miles away by the Hares - but as we reclined on the grass in the sunshine, we all agreed that the views across the glittering waters of the lac d’Astarac to 

the crystal clear Pyrenees were stunning (even though we had seen them before!!).

By the time we arrived back at the Hares’s, it was very cold, very windy and very late.  The GM (who

shall remain nameless so as to be protected from the wroth of PISSOLES) decided ‘no circle’, despite 

Mi Mi Nut Nuts enormously long list of misdemeanours.  We did our best to warm up with baked 

Camembert and Goin’ ‘Rongs delicious mulled wine.  Then we all went home to bed and lived happily ever after.
