RUN 2392 REPORT

On a wild and rainy night some 20 hashers (actually 19 + 1 very late member) gathered at the Midway Point for a run being set by JB and DDI. Being Towel Day, hashers were asked the carry a towel proudly with the added incentive of a chance to win something brought back from Interhash 2026, worth … $42.

Hashers arrived with towels draped in various styles including In The Raw who wore two towels, one with his head through the middle, the other wrapped around his hips like a sarong, as Grizzly handed out raffle tickets.

Why is Midway Point named as such? – well, it is midway along the convict-built Sorell Causeway between Hobart and Sorell. In 1872 the causeway was completed using convict labour. In 1957 Midway Point was gazetted a locality in its own right. And of course it needed a watering hole – hence the Tavern.

As it was chucking it down in Hobart Town but Grizzly, the RA of the night, declared that “It never rains on a hash run”. This was treated with some sceptism to a point were Cracker gathered her umbrella for the run. It did, however, come to pass that the rain completely cleared as the run commenced.

Instructions were given that there was a run and a walk with some strange markings derived from WA hash groups. The sole runner at this stage, Ted Bullpit set off at pace followed by a string of walkers led by In The Raw and Sir Eve. A few checks did keep the walkers somewhat together due to reigning confusion caused  by the unusual WA check and FT markings. Growler and LA were bringing up the rear, not drawing breath due to copious yacking.

There is but one hill in Midway Point but the hares cunningly managed to take trail along Penna Road, up the Eastern side via Darwin Street, back down Karachi Street to Penna Road again. and around it before ascending Bay Road to approach the hill via the Esplanade and Boundary Street from the western side. The peak was reached along Harback Court, returning to the On On via Timber Mill Court, First Avenue and Cross Street. Walk distance was some 3.5km with a staggering elevation gain of 75 metres.

Sonar, mimicking Lazarus with his recovery from a spectacular bike crash at Cornelian Bay on the Wednesday Retirees ride, requiring a spell in A&E, RHH (plus 14 stitches). He completed his own NDIS walk (as a virgin NDIS participant) covering a mammoth 1.5km.

Bees Dick staggered in last, having arrived late (surprise, surprise), started the run well after everyone else and arrived in a sweat after having had to fend off a dog attack. His paced doubled with a dog in pursuit. He then needed a towel to mop up his sweat, so there were plenty available seeing he forgot to bring one. The reason this time was lost keys (again) – this time not on a bus bound for Risdon Vale but hiding in his office. He needs to chain them to himself or attach an Air tag to said keys.

Back at the Tavern, Sir Eve was circulating a H5 Trash from run number 1570 set by the same hares at Lachlan. Even though this run was on the 7^{th of} February 2011, it did highlight some stark differences between their runs. Run number 1570 was through virgin bush territory to a waterfall – none of these highlights were to be found in Midway Point!

A pleasant counter meal ensued, followed by a lively lip session conducted by our sole Lip, Shit Creek, while his fellow lip is swanning off on a UK sojourn.

SKOLS – Shyte Creek

• The Hare(s) – Jim Beam and Didn’t Do It – well marked trail and no rain
• C*ntry Members – Grizzly, Lone Arranger, Eager, Deep Throat
• Deep Throat – From Albany WA, was named by Jim Beam because she could out-skoll any other hasher (except Swallow)

• Grizzly – Bought LA a clothesline (for $350) and had a “handyman” install it when they went to Interhash. They came home to find he had dug a crater to place the post and the line was so high that LA couldn’t reach it. They then had to get a real anyman to fix it which cost $1,000.
• Next Week – being a male and couldn’t do two things at once – spilt his beer whilst paying hash cash.
• Next Week – alcohol abuse, spilling his beer on the carpet
• Sonar – Fell off his bike last week (due to pedal failure) and required 14 stitches. He blamed Hands On for sabotaging his bike.

• In The Raw and Griz – being racists, racing each other on trail
• Eager – 1,300 runs milestone
• Brazilian – was bragging on the trail that she had a tool that was 8 inches long and a rechargeable battery
