Hash Trash of the Reunion Island Hash Trash

21 November 1999

Is it a hash record- 6.5 hours and 16 kilometres to complete the course? The twelve Hashers who went to Reunion to brave Curly Top’s trail claim it must be. Curly Top, our tour organizer, Hare, acting Hash Master, created a weekend of challenges which was enjoyed by all (at least that’s what we said after the pain had gone).

Before the Hash started he gave us a practice run- it all started with a seat checking exercise because he managed to get us on three different planes. Even more cunning was the back- check for the group of four Hashers who could only find three seats on the plane! The highlight of the Friday night pre-Hash practice was the timed mini Hash around Reunion’s Continent store. Here was heard the immortal Hash cry from Alan Oliphant – “Where’s the beer?” as he ran down the aisles. We still can’t explain how Chris and Jhotee managed to go in for drinking water and ended up with a fruit juice blender! – Chris claims his French still needs to improve!

On Saturday the Hare laid out a fantastic set of white marks all around the volcano. Just follow the white marks was the only instruction; and use the wimp’s trail if you want (this was up to the top and back again- only four hours). It had everything-false trails, back- check, pit stops, photo stops, lunch stops. Even had a box for 29- this we thought a bit unusual because there were only 12 of us; finally someone worked out it was a helipad landing site. Whilst you in Mauritius enjoyed the mud, we clambered over volcanic rocks, lava deserts and endured rain, fog, scorching sun and sulphur fumes. The trail around the craters was spectacular with some fissures still letting out steam. The sign of a good Hash is for the pack to arrive home close together- we managed to be home within 25 minutes of the leader- not bad for 6.5 hours of Hashing.

The Hash circle, after a quick vote of thanks at dinner, was postponed until Sunday when the group went sightseeing in the Salazie cirque. Here we found spectacular cliffs, waterfalls and forests (and many aching muscles). We ended with a communal down-down over a very liquid lunch in an appropriately- named town for how we were feeling- Hell—Bourg.

From all of us Hashers who enjoyed the Volcanic Hash – a very special THANK YOU to Curly Top for all the hard work, you really do deserve a down-down.

P.S. For all the gory details in pictures see the web-site over the next few weeks.
