12.5.13 - Sporting Family on the hash



We will be doing our best to get every visitor along to at least one hash (be warned!), and we made a great start with the Adcock clan.

Nic and Cathy came along for what turned out to be the Mother’s Day hash, as HK uses the American date to celebrate this. This meant a bumper turn-out, and great excitement from the regular hash ladies that Claire had brought her mum along especially.

Claire and Nic treated the hash like a hike rather than a run, which worked rather well, as the trail obligingly went over all sorts of terrain, up and down steep-ish hills, scrambling about rocks and muddy patches and crossing a stream.

The picture that will eventually appear here is the post-run shot. I apologise in advance from exposing you all to my ludicrously hairy self, but the humidity has really ramped up – when the run was done I physically wrung streams of water out of my shirt. Eurgh. The girls, however, are looking remarkably better turned out than me. And managed to keep their tops on (sorry, the Wan Chai spirit of casual innuendo is catching…)

The Adcocks took the Circle sportingly, although it was a particularly cringeworthy one even by the Wan Chai hash standards (see last week’s post!). It’s particularly painful to watch first-timers get hauled into the circle and, for reasons that escape me, asked when they last had sex (sorry Nic). Even Cathy suffered a few fines despite coming along to hold the fort when we were out on trail, but she took these in her stride. Partly by delegating the alcoholic side of the fines to me.

What a good son-in-law…?
