TRAIL LED RIGHT BEHIND
THE BOMBOLULU VILLAGE

Hare Eric Murunga AND harriet Marianne

Coastweek - - The 73rd Hash run began on a false trail. From Gecko, the pack was literally escorted to the starting point, a Watering Hole-oops- right before the run.

No kidding, that IS the name.

Well, sanity prevailed and the pack set out looking for the scanty trail marks that kept playing hide and seek.

Hare Eric Murunga with harriet Marianne had laid such a good web that they themselves missed marks !

And the pack weaved on highs and down dales.

At one point the trail seemed to set off in 10 different possibilities and the road back home was the most tempting with only the cows to guide the pack.

They even looked for the lost trail up the mango trees that were abound, only to come off with pickler mangoes, gratefully taken up by this scribe.

The trail led right behind the Bombolulu village and skirted the rear quarters of the cement factory all the way in Bamburi but not before hitting another stumbler with umpteen check backs that bashed the hashers.

But undeterred they rolled on and on.

A discreet look at the  compass that was the Hare's eyes set everyone back in the homing direction of the watering hole but not before sighting the giraffe at the Nature Trail.

Hope the management does not send us a back dated invoice for this back door peeping.

In absence of the Grand Master and the grand old Sage of HASH, and so technically the absence of discipline, the rituals were more hilarious than usual.

The 'down downs' were most appropriately given to almost everyone for the overt and covert sins with correct and improvised lyrics before the pack dispersed to return to civilization.
