This year’s Haggis Bash is in the books. Beyond a shadow of a doubt.
A very long day yesterday. The trail started at 0930, and we didn’t leave the On-Home until 8 p.m. My ride back to Barretto is leaving in an hour, so I am just going to dump some photos from the Haggis Bash now, and I’ll write up a post-mortem tomorrow. Fair enough?
There were three trail options: An 8K with two hill climbs, a 6K flat hike, and a 4K short trail. I chose the middle ground, as seen above.With well over 100 Hashers, the start was a tad crowded.Things thinned out as the group split into their preferred trails.I was happy to bring some sweetness into their lives.And then I sawdust.We had a couple of water crossings. My hike mates took their shoes off; I just plunged in.I love this tree. But I didn’t get close enough to check for knotholes.A narrow, rocky bridge. Once again, I just waded across.On the edgeA wet and horny carabaoThe stats from my hike. Gaining distance but still moving slow.
Back at the On-Home a little before noon. Lunch was provided (I had a hamburger with a spoonful of slaw on the side). And the coolers of beer were open for business. Then the games began. I chose not to participate but found a shady spot to sit and observe. It was almost 5 p.m. when we finally gathered for the circle.
Lots of bagpiping. Despite my Scottish heritage, I don’t particularly enjoy the sound, although I respect the talent involved in playing the instrument.The setting for the Hash Circle. Dig that old school windmill.Nearly 150 attendees for this year’s Haggis Bash.As the circle commenced, we were provided an appetizer.A Scottish egg, you say?Not badThe leaders of the Circle. La Union Hash doesn’t do ice. Instead, they have a crew of women who hit you with multiple pails of water. Thankfully, I avoided that trauma.Another form of La Union Hash punishment.
At the conclusion of the circle, we were ushered into the dining area.
The Haggis ritual begins. Led into the building to a Scottish tune on bagpipes.My first experience with the Scottish delicacy called haggis.Based on what I knew of the contents, I expected not to like it. Turns out, it tasted okay. I won’t be craving it, but I’m glad I had the experience.That would be me after the hike but before my first beer. Don’t I look thirsty?
Alright, that’s how the day went. More to say about it as time permits. Thanks for stopping by.

With well over 100 Hashers, the start was a tad crowded.
When I first read that, I thought it said “100 Hamsters.”
Nice pics from the trail, what with the carabao, the stone “bridge-let,” the food, etc. Looks to have been a great event.
Have a safe trip back home.
“Its been a hard days night”. Well you know what’s next. That’s right McCrarey, you should be sleeping like a dog. Like Lucky and Buddy. Just don’t sleep like the doggy that always shows his pecker when you take his pic.
I was worried about you McCrarey. Newswire showed a Tsunami warning for the PI. Woke up last night about 3AM. Started pacing the floor and drinking shots of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select. Yobo said what’s wrong. Told her I was worried about a friend overseas. She told me to come back to bed. I did and the sex was great. I should worry about you more often.
The Hash looked like a success. I mean no one tried to jackoff like that guy several months back. I call that a win-win for everyone. Now if the Gash want to partake in that sport then sign me up for the next walk.
Peace Out!
Soju, that earthquake was in Mindanao, about as far away from my town here in Luzon as you can get. So, no worries needed, but enjoy the sex regardless!
Yep, it was a good Hash with no more craziness than normal. There were some good looking Gash but all they provided was eye candy. Still nice.
Kev, by the end of the night, some of us were crawling like hamsters.
Yes, the organizers did a great job pulling everything together for such a large group.
