Sego’s last lay and no write-up. This is not an acceptable state of affairs and thus I have belatedly put something together to rectify this gross omission by On Sec
Indeed it was a bit of a struggle to find the bloody site and arriving with 10 minutes to spare there were not many others but Sego was already comfortably reposed. "I finished my part and Eric he iz still out there finishing his", she explained.

The part laid by Sego was easily distinguished later by the trail of cigarette butts and Heineken cans.

Numbers increased and once Eric returned the circle was called and on off into unfamiliar territory in the area behind the restaurant. Weaving in and out of concrete paths and Mu-Bahns we arrived at a main road where we encountered the Hares in Bastille Day mood holding stale French bread sticks and waving something that may have been Sego’s knickers. On and on into a Wat - a bit more difficult this check. Up till now the checks had been relatively easy and the pack was pretty much together, in fact all going well….

Wrong, now we have le cock-up. The front runners had disappeared brains in their boots some distance away and managed to find the in trail, actually well the checks weren’t that difficult and even predictable and soon after and once we ran under the motorway we were in very familiar territory. This section of the run was very pleasant with good running until finally the Hares slowed us down with a long section of dense jungle where we shuffled single file through the wet grass. Not long after we emerged from this we came across the backwards running group comprising about 6 in number including AKM, Mc Swirly face, Matt Bruggen, Tiny John. Tiny decided to run with us while the remainder in some kind of perverted fashion were intent on doing it backwards.

Now it was getting dark and we were still about 4 km from home according to my sensors. Steve Tastes Great was leading the way, then the trail disappeared - oh it went into some real dense stuff must be right though as Tiny went that way. Scidmark and friend hesitated, Follow me I said as I took a long cut still on the path, they didn’t, and at the first opportunity I cut back to pick up the trail again and came across Steve coming in the opposite direction OFF PAPER he cried, well it cant be back here I said so we headed back to the path I’d come from 10 minutes earlier and hey we were On ON. Soon we caught up with Todd while Steve shot off into the dark undergrowth on paper without managing to fall over more than twice while I went on and in. Follow that path all the way said Todd, he was right of course, is always is about these thing.

Back in about 90 minutes, almost 10 km said Eric. There were a few of the good the bad and the ugly already supping beer them being the lowlife of late arrivers the non runners and the short cutters.

Well into my third beer and they were still coming in. No NO a full half an hour after me arrived with the last of them, where Have you been I enquired, I was on paper all the way he replied, well so was I sort of what took you so long? Anyway circle time and Joint Master Mudguard presiding, an Englishman in charge we can expect some decorum sadly lacking of late.

Hares first and coming in for unwarranted criticism in my opinion – it was an excellent run that was only blotted by an error by some of the elite and we know how the elite behave in this fair land. Followed by Returners, etc and usual stuff already documented. Trail Master got shouted down for trying to make a silly announcement for hare line vacancies, taking the job too seriously as the Tickler pointed out as he took the circle on the riveting question of who had died 204 years before, Capt Eric proved to be the incorrect answer. Most of the pack were listening with due respect while the Thai ladies circle were enquiring what they had eaten and other matters on national concern in the small gathering besides the beer truck.

Our Jeanine down for a run in October announced an imminent departure from the land of guile. This proved too much for Trail Master though administered a Tiger sedative went away mumbling not to be seen on the Hash since.

We all wished Golden Shower good luck in Kabul, whatever it is she is going to do there, she will be missed as one of the nicer characters of our hash.
On On
