Run 967

You might be asking yourself what happened to 966? It happened - it was at Mr C's place in Weimershof, where we were treated to whatever was in the fridge. I just didn't get round to writing about it. Couldn't be arsed actually.

Run 967 was billed as "Far from the Maddenung Schueberfoure Hash" which I guess is a dsylexic reference to Thomas Hardy. It was at Bridel by the LE QUATTRO STAGIONI restaurant, on rue de Luxembourg, across from the Aral station. Actually it was a Q8 station, but who cres? The hare was 22Tango. The run was basically thru the Bridel-Strassen forest, an out and back course with a beer stop at its furthest extremity. Very nice.

Afterwards in the quattro stagioni for good pizza, several kilos of vin rouge, arguments about Belgium, plus digestif gratuit.

Those of you interested in the movie Flawless can see a trailer here (in Spanish).

The run kicked off from the Publications Office at 19:40 precisely. A tour of the red light district was followed by a city circuit which washed up at a beer stop at Scott's in the Grund. 2nd Check and SBF had mysteriously arrived there early and were into their 2nd beer before the FRBs arrived. Back up to town for the circle. Down Downs to the visitors from Cambodia (Phlegm and Chick-Pea), and to lesser spotted luxo translator - this is a classic: She was doing the beer, and there were 2 kegs, one full and one containing about 50ml of beer - guess which one she put the freezer packs on? So warm-beer down-downs all round. On On to the Namaste for Nepalese curry and Cobra beer - yum yum.

Canigou Hash

This is a view of the beautiful Canigou mountain, sacred to the Catalans. It dominates the horizon from all of French Catalunya. In 2002 (or so) some expats and locals in Prades stated the Canigou Hash, whose Inaugural weekend attracted such Hash luminaries as Higgins and Likk'em (sad twats). However, after a few runs, and a couple of pregnancies, the Hash petered out. In 2005, Doggy and Sprout (ex MPH3) and our Own SBF resurrected the Hash, and there have been two more runs since, including one on Friday 3rd August 2007, which also included Hash Granny. It is now hoped that 4 or 5 runs a year can be organised, as well as some link-ups with the Barcelona Hash (and who knows, GDH3?).


So it was that Doggy (the hare), Sprout, SBF and Granny met up at the only bar in Nefiach. The trail was beautiful as you would expect, basically a tour of Nefiach and Millas, with fine views of the mountains - passing over a part of the Santiago de Compostella pilgrim's trail. Doggy entertained us with a detailed explanation of the workings of the local irrigation system. A barbecue by a lake followed, with lots of wine and beer. Doggy then demonstrated with his own irrigation system how to extinguish the BBQ flames.





On back to D&S's bijou restored village house in Nefiach for afters and a detailed discussion on the Luxembourg Caisse de Maladie featuring an inebriated Granny.





Next run: probably in October. On On.
