Good turn out for Hugs & Cute Comer's trail through varied countryside. We had bush, farmlands, cattle, rough fields to navigate and the checks were well laid to keep the runners and walkers fairly close together.

Cute Comer assisted the runners a couple of times, and Bite Mark recorded 8.8kms as a front runner, while Hugs showed up twice to make sure everyone was on paper. Here's a link to photos of the trail and some Down Downs as night fell...

The circle judged it an excellent run even if it was a remake of a recent Moonies trail. Good to see Penny Lame grace us with his presence. New GM Bruised Willie copped a couple of DDs for arriving late as well as incorrectly attired for the circle.

(the Kamnan is always correctly attired, because, as we know, this is why he is Kamnan -กำนัน)

In addition to usual returnees, visitors and leavers charges - there were no virgins - but a lively naming session for Sar who has been hashing irregularly for a long time with even less attendance at the Down Downs. As partner of Bent Banana and a badminton champ there was no shortage of suggestions until Shufflecox was chosen.

The On After at Zabwer restaurant was well attended with half the Circle showing up.

Despite having a dose (Covid) Drag Queen and Noname Avril managed to lay the trail for run #486.

The herd gathered in the car park of the Good Moon restaurant, at 1655, Rubber duck, standing in for Drag Queen, called the circle. As there were no hares RD related what DQ had passed on to him. 

At 17:00 the herd moved out. After about an hour the first runner, Flying Scotsman, returned followed closely by the other runners. The walkers then started staggering back. Refreshments were provided by the beirmaister Mud Man. 

RD received a call from Smelly Fingers saying he was off paper and lost. After working out where he was RD gave him direction to the carpark. 10 minutes later SF rang back, he was still unsure how to get back and was knackered. Donga volunteered to be a good Samaritan and went to rescue SF. As soon as they returned RD called the circle. 

The runners and walkers said that the trail, a mixture of new and old trails was good, the walkers agreed. RD was given a down down as a proxy for DQ. 

Newcomers and visitors were invited into the circle, from Phuket, Semen stains, Sub standard, Doesn't touch the sides, Butt plug, Open plug and one other. 

Semen stains, Sub standard, Doesn't touch the sides have just moved to Hua Hin. Noname Gerald was welcomed back, as was Hugs and Cute Comer and all had down downs.

Noname Gerald was brought back and the herd was asked to find a name for him. After much debate, it was agreed to name him Sauerkrap. RD performed the ceremony and the Beer Wenches christened him with iced water. 

Bite mark and Easy off gave the location of the next H2H3 hash as being at Sam Phraya, Cha Am. 

As there was no other business the circle was closed and social drinking resumed. About 22 attended the on after in the restaurant.

Photos from the run and the Christmas party

I wish to warn all of you that the ageing process has reduced my ability to remember anything of consequence. I therefore proceed with trepidation as my forthcoming manuscript will be vague at best or a complete misinterpretation of the event.

Anyway, I digress and will proceed under the adage “Do not let the truth get in the way of a good story”.

Between 2.00 to 3.00 on Saturday afternoon, a motley multinational gang of 30 or so hashers gathered to hear and experience what was in store for them.

Ding a Ling as principal hare for the day stepped forward to tell all about the run, unfortunately as Ding a Link heralds from Yorkshire his broad accent was wasted on the visiting contingent from China who could only guess what he was talking about.

At 3.02 exactly we all set off onto the trail through an undergrowth of tangled weeds and well-distributed rubbish. Fortunately, a winding dirt trail was encountered and we were then able to follow a well-marked trail, with the occasional Check or False Trail to deter any complacency of this being an easy stroll.

After 2km and a road crossing, we then experienced a strait trail of some 1.5km which allowed all of us backmarkers to see how far behind we were on the trail. Somewhere along this trail, the runners were directed off to the right to who knows where and reappeared about 300m from the finish point Thankfully at the end of this Mulsanne Strait (Le Mans race analogy) we also headed back on a dirt track over a dam and back to the finish to enjoy the waiting amber nectar.

After a pause for socializing and topping up a now-thirsty stomach with beer, we lurched into the final Circle to hear Rubber Duck condemn any miscreant of sins during the trail. As earlier advised my memory fails on how riveting the dialogue and charges apparently were.

General consensus of the trail was that it was marginally better than staying at home.

At about 5.00 we all started to dwindle away for a shower before returning to enjoy the Christmas party at the Good Moon Restaurant

Between 6.30 to 7.00 the hashers started arriving at Good Moon restaurant with different anticipation of what may be in store for this Christmas extravaganza

At 7.15 a buffet of Asian and Farang food was made available for the attendees who hit the tables like locusts’ so much so that when Ding a Ling arrived at 7.35 little was left for him – he was heard to cry that he was informed that the buffet would be available from 7.30 ……(life is a sh…t)

While we all sat down and started consuming vast quantities of food and alcohol our resident singer Dave the Vape treated us to the compendium of Alan Bennet / Frank Sinatra type croonin songs. Food and thirst sated Dave changed the mood for dancing which all the attending ladies were waiting for - Smoochy, Rock and Roll and Salsa were delivered for the feverish crowd to enjoy. It was at this point Knockout Neptune wished to demonstrate his dancing prowess and zoomed in on one of the Chinese ladies.

BIG MISTAKE if this lady had not won the Strictly Come Dancing Competition or a least been a runner up it would have been a travesty. Swirling, overhead and underhand turns, bum gyrating and manic leg movements left Knockout almost living up to his name and retiring completely knackered. 

Fortunately, the other attendees were either engrossed in their own attempts at arms and leg rhythmic coordination or the voyeurs watching whether the breasts of Dava our Mongolian lady visitor would actually be fully contained by her skimpy bra.

As the evening wore on Cathusalem gave us a rendition of the trumpet voluntarily or similar and a hot off-the-press number he had penned himself. Although rhyming well we were all bemused by the terminology “The Sideways Hash”.

Finally, at 10.00 there was a movement towards the exits as hashers had either drunk too much, were exhausted by too much dancing, or had fallen out with their respective wives. For more information or clarification of any of the above please talk with Ding a Ling or Rubber Duck who probably have a completely different view of the day.

A great day and evening was had by all and congratulations must go to the restaurant staff and those who had organized a great day's entertainment.
