The ‘No Peeing in the Piscina’ Hash
Eleven hashers, 3 mutts and 3 virgins assembled at that little bit of paradise known as Barranco de Quiles.
The walkers were just setting off for their circular stroll around the rambla, when Norman Bates raised a serious objection. If he, with his two artificial hips and just a little excess weight was going to manage the Hash proper, then the young lean virgin known as Dave, was going to come too.
The hashers set off over the almond groves and along rabbit trails, before descending down to the rambla: and then a little circuit up through the tracks that join the scattered settlement of Barranco de Quiles together. We passed two crystal clear fuentas along the way, before returning to Ma and Norman’s place, perched high in the valley, and a welcome plunge into the piscina!
…..and Norman was dead right about Virgin Dave. He led the Hash from start to finish, and then wanted to go around again because he thought he had lost his car keys. Norman would have tripped him up to slow him down, but he couldn’t catch him.
At the circle many ‘down downs’ were received, most notably Two Hats and Virgin Jack, who both got one for playing pocket billiards - but not with each other! Virgin Dave got a hash name –“Ring Pull”, partly in respect of him losing his key ring, but mainly because of the bit of metal we saw dangling from his nipple! He also got a ‘down down’, for being a ‘front running b……’ of the first order.
….and then an excellent On After BBQ was held by the pool.
Sad to miss the 78th but hoping to make one more soon! Kingfisher
