The 4th Hayama Hash was one that will be remembered for ever!
It started off with Fulla-air and his trusted sidekick innocently laying the chalk for the course. 'Let's start at Isshiki' says Fulla. 'Take this chalk and draw some arrows from here and I'll meet you over there.' Chalk in hand, his excited sidekick sets off and after the third mark the shit hits the fan! From out of nowhere the trusted sidekick is set upon by the local police. With 14 coppers converging from all directions, cameras flashing, helicopters buzzing overhead, children crying, dogs barking, phones ringing, and a large crowd gathering we could imagine the headlines 'Foreigners Deface Emporer's Palace'! 'Hang them!' the crowd screams, and the police march them off to the station where they get the good cop bad cop interrogations in separate cells before crying 'GOMENNASAI! We'll never do it again!' At which point the accused are made write statements of their evil doing and their fingerprints are taken with much gusto! Hence, this run will be
remembered!
The next memorable occasion was the arrival of the T-shirts. And the designers did a great job choosing the design, colors, and mucking up the layout so that they actually came out looking better than what was ordered!
So after a false start, a new and revised course is set. The runners gather and we saw a nice bunch of new faces. A couple of new Poms, that jolly resident from the North Pole, an American disguised as a Canadian, a Canadian disguised as an American (yes, identity disorder), another American who thought it was summer, a smattering of the locals, some who had come from far, some from near, and the usual suspects. We set off along the sea, over the hill, and down to a cozy little izakaya where copious refreshments were consumed and Richard delighted us with a superb pasta and plates full of hot radichio??? amongst other interesting organic delights.
The next 4H hash is *****
On on!
