There was a huge turnout, too many to count, for the non Nash Hash run which set off from Little Italy. Hashers and harriettes were equal in number and the harriettes sportingly agreed to run topless.  A beer crisis was narrowly avoided thanks to Rocks Off who dispatched her driver to raid her fridge for large cans of 8.5% rocket fuel.

Tall Man stood in for Hash Cash and Hash Mistress and Big Mac for RA. The hares, two Danes, under armed guard, laid a long trail of some 10km. The pack easily covered this distance in under an hour. The trail made use of jungle trails, mountain ridges and river banks, all in all pristine countryside, showing almost no signs of human habitation.

Big Mac led the pack most of the way, with harriettes hard on his heels begging for his attentions. At no time did the hares lose the trail. There was paper a–plenty. It was a shining example of a well laid and imaginative trail. The local population lined the route cheering on the pack.    

Old Man led the tens of walkers through a nature trail he made up as he went along. He marched them up to the top of the hill and he marched them down again.

Back at the A point – Little Italy – a huge welcoming crowd had assembled waving Danish flags in honour of the hares. The Hash heroes decided that in their own safety they should adjourn the circle to the Bagha so they proceeded in an open top bus back to Dhaka. There were so many well-wishers along the road in their vehicles and tooting their horns that this journey took over an hour.

After waiting in vain for Rocks Off – and more importantly – the beer for 15 mins Tall Man convened the circle. Needles to say Rocks Off reappeared after the circle perfectly manicured. So many hashers were present that the circle was two deep and filled the Bagha lawn. The hash stats were unclear but a number of hashers volunteered themselves as returnees. Big Mac then stepped in as RA. He called the Danes back and carefully avoiding any political, religious or social controversy he offered a down down to the Undiplomatic Danes. Big Mac then made reference to the Bangaldesh Winter Olympic Team and the absence of hashers from the selection. Next up were Tall Man, Circumcised, and others as the Bronze Bangaldeshiwanabees. Mad Cow whom it may be remembered was named because of a cow phobia exhibited the same irrational fear of dogs on the run. It is well know that she also has a phobia of male hashers so the drink was to the Multi Phobias. Finally, an unnamed hasher was had up for wearing apparel from a certain Men’s Hash that has been banned by RAB because of its subversive activities.

The sad truth is that there were only 15 runners, all men, the hares lost the trail and the run had to be abandoned as night fell. Directions back to Little Italy had to be sought. The circle was moved to the Bagha and an hour was spent in a traffic jam and there was no beer.
