It was Fishy Finger’s virgin haring and he’d chosen Skid Mark as his co-hare – the alarm bells were already sounding!!! The A site was the same as for the allegedly 300th CH4 run, famed for Skiddy’s tunnel swim – still ominous. The directions were so comprehensive and detailed that it confused half the hashers and I had phone calls all week asking me where it was and Dick Tracy wants all runs to be signed from his house in future. I set off and the signs were just as detailed and comprehensive, although they still managed to get Unplugged and Anything lost.
The hare brief was anything but brief, and we were released eventually. After I got the first check slightly wrong, Semen Soars and Able Semen were setting the pace along the bank of the canal, with HRA in hot pursuit. I jogged up to the 2nd circle check with Unplugged and spent a moment discussing the paper that was plainly in view back on the other side of the canal! The trail set off up the mountain making for the saddle. Fortunately it’s not too bad a climb, only 400m or so before the descent into the valley the other side.
Unplugged took a tumble after chasing my ass down the hill. As we hit the canal at the bottom there was a huge bunch of people launching rockets making the next part of the run like going over the top during the war. We immediately saw the paper on the other side of the canal, but not willing to swim, we had the long jog to the bridge only to then hit skiddy sticks. There was a break in the group with me, HRA, Semen Soars, Horny Monkey, Turkish Delight, Able Semen and Unplugged clear away from the rest. Trivia moment – which 2 are silent running bastards???
Through the rice paddies with some excellent little checks that continued to thwart us one by one and back to the circle – exhausted! The On-On was one of the best attended in a long time, and for once the karaoke went down well. Definitely a great evening of hashing! Even Sups was asking the virgin what the secret to a good OnOnOn was!
