THE Hash is an exotic organisation and numerous people with a connection to Dili Hash visited for the Batemans Bay Hash House Harriers’ March run.
Basil Brush and his consort Sadistic Countess came with Wishing Well.
Squatter and Mad German – in his 117th run - added a frisson of Dili flavour. Also visiting were Extortionist from Yangon, Just Yulan from China and the Grand Master was back from Kabul Hash House Harriers.
Infallible gave some vague directions and gestured in the general direction of east as the starting point to look for the trail.
There are now officially about 33 ways to get from Infallible’s house to the top of reservoir hill.
This new path did not miss anything approaching vertical, so the pack was a bit strung out early.
A few more hills, one or two wallaby tracks and a small swamp later, the track trickled out near the quarry before plunging into trackless wastes and hills until the group pulled up breathless, at George Bass Drive, somewhere near Bevian Road.
After a 360-degree search by half the pack, there was a faint trail heading towards the ocean in new, uncharted territory behind a locked gate and a couple of for sale signs.
It led to a drink stop just past Fish Finger’s new beach shack.
After scoffing the chips and waiting for stragglers there was a quick sprint along McKenzie’s Beach to the start.
An elliptical circle was formed and the Dili push was welcomed into the circle for a hospitable drink and later was charged with diplomatic hopelessness, lassitude and complete failure to restore a semblance of order to Timor L’Esté within three generations, or a political cycle.
The circle descended swiftly into anarchy and a series of private parties before eventually collapsing under the weight of its own irrelevance and was brought to a merciful end by the Grand Master.
Infallible converted a few loaves and bits of fish into dinner for the remaining group and then disgraced himself by demonstrating he knows the dance steps to Nut Bush City Limits.
Pole Dancer and Sticky Date also scooted their boots in time.
The next run will be in Tomakin on Easter Saturday.
