I don’t want to downplay the gravity of the situation, but yesterday’s Hash trail did not result in my downfall. It could have been pure luck I suppose because the going got steep on the downhill run, and yet I somehow managed to keep my feet despite the efforts of Mick Jaggar and Keith Richards to undermine me. If you get my meaning.
Anyhoo, for the most part, I enjoyed the trail. We started on the familiar backstreets of Barretto, did a challenging but moderate climb I’d done before, and then took a new way down that I reckon I will never voluntarily try again. Finished with a stroll through Marian Hills, then up to Alta Vista, and concluded our hike on Baloy Beach at our On-Home venue, Da’ Kudos.
Hopefully, the photographs will tell the story better than I can:
A 7K trail, one major up and one hellacious down. Our sane group shaved about a kilometer off towards the end, mostly to save time–all the runners who started after we did had already passed us by. The street walking was easy enough–no ifs, ands, or butts about it.And then we started the climb.Longish, but not too steep.Except if you are an old geezer with failing lungs. But truthfully, I felt alright on trail yesterday for the most part.Show off!Can we play too?And then the downhill from hell. Or was it to hell? You can see some of those Rolling Stones I mentioned earlier.Doggy Style didn’t seem to have any trouble. But then, he has four legs.Defying gravity.Almost down.Made it!Some of the proud survivors…All in a day’s hike.Then a stroll through Marian Hills……then back up into Alta Vista.Our Hash circle on Baloy Beach.Brothers in arms.And so concluded another Hash day.
A pretty good one, all in all.

Looks to have been a good walk. That descent will wake you up, though!

Just stare at that a while.
Damn it. Keith is actually my older brother’s name, so you’d think I’d see the typo. I need to proof my proofreading!
