Runners with a drinking problem: Run # 460 Wackopedia's Hideout

To the tunes of Sun is shining by Bob Marley...

(Hasher singing)
Sun is Shining, weather is SWEAT!!!
Lets go for the run,
In this smoldering HEAT...

(Kingfisher beer can replies)

To the rescue, here I am...
Want you to know that...
This is a chilled can...

(All the cans in the bucket start singing)...

You can drink us too!
You can drink us too!

Such was the atmosphere in Neral on the hot Sunday of run # 460. We have been to humid places before but this was by far the worse humidity I came across. But when has anything stopped the hashers from having fun.

Wackopedia opted out of haring on D-Day. The Friday recce turned out disastrous for our 'SwearBank'. He tripped, on the trail, and lost his glasses and, ALMOST, lost his eye. So the other hares, Joystick, SNAFU and FUBAR set out, chalk in hand, to set the trail for the recce'd run. They came back so tanned and sweaty that one could see Fubar's boxers through his shorts.

The run started a little late but finished on time. This run was all wilderness. It did not include running/walking/crawling on tar road for even a second. The trail was difficult. There were moments when the hashers had to literally crawl under thorny bushes to get to the other side. After around 90 minutes of sweating it out, the runners came back with nothing but sweat and praises for the run. The GM, Bonsai, announced that this run had raised the bar way high. Baby Dick found this to be the best run he had ever run (in BH3). All in all, everybody who came for the run was happy with what they got.

The hares could not be happier when they were iced and all they heard were praises. Bonsai gave a run a solid 12 out of 10. Yay!

The Energizer Bunny and Naysa were next on the ice. These are opposite poles which attract the same interest. Zain and Naysa acquired respect and praises as they were the seniormost and youngest (respectively) hashers to face all odds and finish this gruesome trail. A legacy and a future in the making.

The picturesque backdrop and the yummy biryani only added to the pleasure that sipping chilled KINGFISHER gave us. Yes! For those who didnt know, KF is the official beer sponsor for BH3.

We did get a few beers to take with us on our drive back, on condition that the driver doesn't drink and drive. Trust me. people were willing to leave their cars behind.

On On to Matheran!

Before we go

(Rabdi Devi, this girl was a virgin and a hare too. These four legged beauty accompanied us on the entire trail as we recce'd on Friday afternoon. And she never got tired of getting attention and wanting to play)
