Well we finally made that 100th Run! It seemed more like 1066 AD rather than 1992 AD that we started towards this run, but it is now already history!! We arrived at Hemsted Forests car park to find it bustling with hashers! The City Hash (London) did a run and camp out near Dicker the previous night and then graced us with their presence. They were welcome, swelling the pack to 25 as we gathered to hear the Hares run-spiel. This seemed to involve Sexist watching in awe as Old Fart stood on a table and poured sawdust between the slats, but I was assured it was to do with the trail markings.

The pack set off and found excellent trail marks but lousy check marks (did Old Fart use the table as a template?)! The run managed to keep a varied pack pretty much together, although at times the walkers seemed to be holding the pack back. We passed 2 hare-designated drink-stops, that looked suspiciously like waste water tanks, before reaching the Beer Stop. A beer later we were back on the trail, still heading the wrong way it seemed, before some cunning checks and a long On-In brought us back to the Car Park. A good trail, especially the first half well done!

Then the Hares announced that the Hash Circle would be at the Harrier pub, got into their chariots, and we were off! A keystone cops drive later, we were all standing in the pub garden; Muppet was selling her wares (and the Hashes); Sexist was extorting money; and the rest of us were sampling Old Fart beer (really)! As the BBQ food was soon going to be overdone, the Hash Circle was called and (rather quickly) presented by a hungry Kingfisher. The RA recognized the Hares achievements, plus others such as Old Farts shortcomings in this technological age, virgins, visiting hashers, Nine and a Half for lip-synching after arriving late; Jobsworth for procuring (new hashers); Mud-wrestler for her Be Prepared for Boy Scouts shirt; and, finally, Nick our pub host for opening up his house & garden!

Food and drink then flowed whilst the sun beat down on the unsuspecting below chatting about hashing Hastings Hash House Harriers could not have asked for a better 100th!!!
