Saturday 9th September
Hash day Mont Parnassus.
We are staying around St George for this week hash, not so far to travel. As per usual, the bus is full to the rafter; Shademan has managed to take 17 of us in his van. And everyone is noisy today! We all congregate in the middle of the road, not much room elsewhere! Good turnout and again the usual suspects are there. The hike is quite steep and surprisingly dry considering how much rain we had in the last few day. That does not make it easier, it is just as slippery but not as sticky, you just get covered with fine red dry dust. It is very steep and I elect to do the down slopes on my bum, the incline is so steep I can hardly stand up. We are still at the back of the pack but we are still enjoying it. Especially the after hash party, this week the DJ is particularly good, he plays all my favourite tunes from the carnival. They had to drag me back to the van kicking and dancing! I don’t think we have had such a lively bunch in the bus back, it was just mayhem, everyone was having a lot of fun. Back to Prickly, no one wanted to go home so we had a few drinks in the tikki bar…another late night!
