Ann, Marcus, Maple Dick, Paul, Mike, Until Next Week, Impaler, Banshee, Dangler, Shagger, Cream Puff, Cream Filling, Goes DOwn Easy, Friend of Puffy, Pigeon Stool, Porno Prick, Malice, Hardon with Shitty & Roadkill, Beheader, Aw Fuck It, Captain Hymen Grinder, Plunger, I'll Take the Fat Chick, Manhole & Goatfucker (later), YFI (later), and Abysmal (hare) Yes, folks, that's 23 hounds, a hare, and three late comers - not bad for a cold day in January.

A fierce wind, the odd snow flake, and temperatures just above freezing did not bode well for this run, but let the numbers speak for themselves! Abysmal was busy scurrying along the N Shore trails as the hounds assembled, and so we were greeted and instructed by his inamorata, Impaler.

At last the moment came and off we lurched across Marine Drive and up in to the hills W of the creek, emerging into the sunshine above Highway No.1 before a brief jink W before a long curve to the E and much wiggling and snurgling back across Marine Drive, over the new footbridge W of Fell, and finally to the beer check in the foreshore park. Shagger estimated 8~9 K.

Alas, the hounds arrived a full 20 minutes ahead of the hare and his beer, allowing Porno Prick to make-up for the time lost during his short-cut; which added a good 3 K and twenty minutes to his own personal hash.

From there we retreated to the woods for Down Downs, Abysmal receiving the Hash Trash for late beer delivery, and Hardon and Beheader for being DFL and DDFL. As it was getting a mite cool we abandoned the woods for the warmth of the Hurricane Grill where we received Chatelaine's full attention with free jugs of beer, and a really quite good prime rib special.

At this point the wheels came off the bus and a group of hardy hashers deployed to AFI's for beer and Bailey's, with the result that I am nursing a hangover the size of Montreal. However, much fun was had by all and we finally escaped into the freezing night and back home by ten o'clock! Except, that is, for Ann, Cream Puff and Goes Down Easy who were heading off to Cougar Creek for a meat sandwich...

Next week's Run No.1315 will be hared by Banshee and he thinks it will start from Spanish Banks - watch this page: http://ww w.vanhash.com
