Run No. 135 - 9th July 2005 - Report

Bash in Nyali

Last 2 weeks saw a slump in the Hash activities due to the hot-blooded Hashers having gone to run on the Lewa Downs with the game; both tame and wild we are told. Possibly they just heard the second part advertised venue and were drawn there like bees to beer??? Evidently the tame ones were more knowledgeable about Down-Downs than running per se. Well, are we not a drinking club with a running problem???? And happily even the vice versa is equally true.

The cold-blooded ones on guard duty in Mombasa (and at the same time also hibernating faithfully), decided to take a Bash and discovered many more millionaires’ homes that had higher fences that can not be scaled except by a respectable size Tsunami. On the unused lands fringing the sea front, a hidden grotto lay exposed with low tide and which would be eventually covered at high tide; a bargain surprise. And all this by just following the Grandmasters’ chargers Tom and Sally who did the sniffing and the pack did the seeing. Dear G.M., does your pet parrot also Hash??? And the pigeons and the ...

Yes. The Grandmaster Trevor Fellows is back in full form, with not a single ounce lost, being well fed on rice and fish curries of Bangladesh and other creepy crawly things the far easterners eat. Back to his respectable Gecko Village which spreads excellent food for mouth, mind and soul, with no geckoes in it. Just take a look at his Menu board - one recent news item being Condoleza Rice, stir fried to your choice.

He has decided to take back the reins of his realm in his rotund hands by becoming the Hare for this week’s Hash - a la head-of-state style. Woe be unto those who fail to appear and pay him homage and drink the wisdom delivered second hand from the Great Hashman in the sky; with a foaming head to boot.

Venue will be the ever surprising Mtwapa, with newer holes and trails discovered as soon as he landed with a pinched Nasa telescope and a new Hash Horn to keep tune.
