The Beginning
Nothing like an afternoon run on New Year’s Day to set the year off to a good start. We were pleased when Slippy Thong volunteered to set trail on this auspicious day.
This is an afternoon run where the group is encouraged to wear there best formal wear. The result is quite an interesting display of fashion sense.
We started at Slippy’s place, where she had set an ambitious trail. We appreciated the effort that she put forward for this signature event.
The group collected inside in the warm, and started munching on the abundance of snacks and treats that Slippy had provided.
We waited attentively for the arrival of the last hashers to appear, then headed outside to circle up in the grey, foggy weather.
Stool Stuffer ran the circle and went through the announcements and introductions. With a small group, that did not take much time.
Slippy Thong was called into the circle to describe the marks she had diligently set for a serious trail.
With the marks described, the hash had a bit of a revelation. Given the state of the group (old, tired, injured etc.), the pack declared this to be a walk with a beer and a chat. Slippy complied, as she will put the trail in inventory to bring it back out for the Full Moon Trail in February 2026.
Off we went on our New Years walk.
After an arduous lap of the pond, we stumbled across the regroup where suitable beverages were available! A great way to start the year with a minor walk with a celebration at the end.
With the regroup complete, we headed back to Slippy’s place for eating, drinking and down down’s.
The Down Down’s
Stool Stuffer was the Religious Advisor (RA) for the afternoon. He prepared his program and the refreshments were made ready.
Stool Stuffer began going through his list of crimes, punishments and rewards!
We wrapped up by looking for a RA volunteer for the next trail. I believe Hardly put up his hand, which is greatly appreciated. Now finished the down down’s, we continued to eat, drink and socialize.
