Run #70 – The Where Will It Be Run Rehashed

The holidays being over, the turn up this week was a tad better than previous weeks – Phonebox, Hentai, Sevenup, Barbie, Torvill & Dean, Acronymph, S&M, Tao (his hash name is coming right up – at the end of this report!) and the hares, of course, Deepthroat and Sheep Shagger. The location – Qianjiang Xincheng, Hangzhou’s new CBD. Initial reactions to the area was not quite positive as the only things in sight were ongoing construction (read: construction dust) and, oddly enough, the Death Star, at least what looked like a very gold Death Star. 15 mins past 4pm and it was on-on to a large atrium where the hashers promptly lost the trail. But some searching and on-ons were called again down a flight of stairs, in the middle of which stood a very large crumpled chewing gum wrapper installation piece. Nice touch, all hashers were duly amused. More pounding down stairs and up stairs and onto a very large atrium in front of what looks like it may be a shopping mall in the near future, with some very promising landscaping – all in all, nice park/large avenue/walkway kind of place to run through – ending in an RG overlooking the Qiantang river – very pleasant, it was. The group quickly, well, regrouped, and we were off again. A second regroup about 10 mins later after which the pack took off again. A detour by Acronymph, who was leading the pack, into a nearby toilet took half the hash in with her before the other half realised that it was a ‘trail wetting’ stop. The rest of the run from there was short, at one point involving a basement car park run through, the first in the Hangzhou Hash’s history (correct me if I’m wrong). The pack arrived back at the start only a little more than half hour after we started, only to be told by the hares that we missed out one large portion of the run. Torvill, Acro, Tao, Hentai and Phonebox set off again to look for that elusive bit, coming back about 15 minutes later, the elusive bit still remaining elusive. Circle called, the run commented on, name-calling offences during the run AND during the circle called, and, thanks to the contribution of the grandfather of the Hangzhou Hash (those were Torvill’s words, Pushup), Tao was named – Vulva Voyeur!
