Help! writing the hash report can be a bit of a trial at times and I often wonder how many hashers actually read it. With this in mind I thought I would take a leaf out of Kevin and Ians book So I thought all I've got to do is include as many Beatles song titles in the script as I can manage.
The aim being to make it a more interesting read, though probably losing some accuracy in the process.
I mentioned this to Gerry at the start of the hash and I should have known better for every time he ran past me( which was often) , he came up with a new title.I particularly liked his (Norwegian Wood) as we ran through pine trees and his (Twist & Shout) as Simon called his dog back, but I countered with (Get back) as the FRB's hit a 6 back and shouted (Please please me) and kick out that check to the back runners. Ade cottoned on to what we were doing and said he was having (A hard days night) as we climbed The Ridgeway, but we shouted him down with (Fool on the hill). I thought when I get home will I remember all of these? I wanted to include (Polythene Pam) and (I am a walrus) but Gerry said you can't do that.
Anyway there are 37 Beatles song titles hidden in this report, apart from the one's in parenthesis (that's brackets to you), see how many you can find.
I missed Dick's preamble but somebody said it would be a long long long run as is Dick's want, but this didn't seem to matter as there was a beautiful full moon and no sign of rain.
After a small detour around Bledlow church the word was that we were heading for the Chiltern Way. Something in the back of my mind rang a bell as I remembered cycling along this track before and I couldn't wait to get going, yes I was flying tonight despite having had a few too many beers the night before.
I had already been caught by one 6 back as we ran past the piggies at Frogmore Farm and I thought not a second time as we approached Church Farm so I hung back a bit. Here the Shorts left us to go there own sweet way and I thought it won't be long before they're back in the pub eating all the chips!
We ran on down the long and winding road to pick up the trail behind Princess Risborough Golf Club. At the end of the track I was quite out of breath but after a brief check stop I was getting better and I soon thought I feel fine so on on we went up the long climb to Lodge Hill.
There were many tracks at the top of the hill and I thought never in my life have I seen so much confusion people seemed to be checking here there and everywhere, but soon we were on flour and ran down off the hill.
It was at this point that I thought , I'm so tired surely it won't be long now to the pub, but at the bottom of the hill there was a surprise because it was Dick our hares birthday and he had laid on much needed refreshments from the back of his car and I thought I'll be on my way. So it was hello goodbye and on up the long climb towards Wainhill. Halfway up the hill people were starting to moan and groan at how our intrepid hare had plied them with beer and then sent them off to climb this huge hill. I thought this boy has certainly got a sadistic streak, and you won't see me doing that sort of thing.
Eventually we regrouped at the summit and there was Jo, I saw her standing there massaging her leg complaining ,its all too much as her hamstring was starting to hurt, but there was no stopping us now as we came to the last lap of Dicks Magical mystery tour. On down through Wainhill we ran and everybody knew this hash would soon be yesterday. We were all thinking there's a place where we all want to be right now and it's the pub! No sooner said than done and we were all inside supping ale and munching delicious chips. Cheers Dick.
Goodbye and goodnight.
The end.
PS I love you.
