'HASHING' THROUGH NYALI SUBURBS

trail led pack through Kisumu Ndogo

Coastweek - - HASH  RUN NO. 74 - The trail set by Dennis and ably assisted by an equally green yours truly, meandered in the Nyali super suburbs.

Laying the trail was a challenge by itself, in the rain of the early morning.

At one point a good citizen came rushing to find out what insect life was under extermination by the marking dust, which clearly looked like some sort of insecticide.

Beginning from the northwest the trail led the pack through Kisumu Ndogo, the  facsimile of a rural setting, with all the stock-in-trade of 'Old MacDonald' of the nursery school rhyme.

By the time the pack crossed the Links Road, sweating and swearing, the Hares realized what went wrong.

An improvised hole cooled the tempers and there was a good 'Singing in the Rain'.

The resident audience was clearly intrigued by the whole opera with a rear exhaust backfire to boot.

The trail marks so profusely scattered had mixed with other marks of doubtful colour and character leading at one time to a hencoop. Those that were intact although visible enough, were clearly missed by everyone. The most important ones were cleanly swept away by the diligent gardeners tending to their masters' insides and outsides.

But yet, the obvious was still the obvious.

And homing instinct of a true blue hasher is never wrong.

After the usual 'down downs', the oncoming Bagamoyo relay event in Tanzania was discussed.

All the best wishes to the teams from Kenya for a good run in Tanzania.
