The’ Indalo Hash meets the Indalo Man’, Hash
Velez Rubio is about as far as Indalo Hash House Harriers venture.
On a beautiful spring day 11 Hashers and the inevitable dogs assembled at the swimming pool at Velez – just a couple of miles from the ‘birth place’ of the Indalo Man in Cueves de los Letreros.
The walkers set off on their route following very clear florescent yellow markers. However, once again, they soon got lost, but what the matter. The sun was shining warm. The birds were singing. Snow sparkled on the highest peaks of the Sierra de Marias and the spring flowers made a solid purple and white carpet in the almond groves.
Meanwhile, because the yellow florescent paint had been exhausted on the walkers trail, the ‘runners’(sic) had to follow a trail of diluted milk spots! With extreme difficulty they meandered towards the massive rock hulk of Gigante, but enjoying the same vistas as the walkers. They had the added bonus of spotting a huge eagle that rose from an almond grove and circled a little, before heading off towards the mountains.
Walker and runners were reunited at the swimming pool for the circle. Various misdemeanours were reported on – most notable being by Puff (watering the campo; taking private photos and wearing his hat in the circle twice!) Ancient Hippy, Tena Lady and Rip Van for being early and Norman Bates for being perfect.
Slippery Fingers – who is apparently useless with anything manual duly, received his new name.
The On After was held at the really nice pool bar – though there was a spot of bother when Ancient Hippy nicked Rip Vans sausage sandwich.
