The Trail

 

 

Before the run

Captain Sumo's Greek-HHH Easter eggs

Later we followed the fine Greek tradition of bashing them together to see who's egg breaks and who's survives.

The Run and Walk

 

Fair Cop thinking about checking (or more likely about that Kokoretsi cooking on the BBQ)
while Mad Dog checks his GPS to see if any satellites are showing themselves at Easter
or if they all decided to have a lie-in.

 

Thrice Nightly is already feeling hungry and is considering chewing on a dead animal skeleton.

 

What fine specimens of athletic human beings

 

Watch out! Here they come!

 

If that's not real shiggy then what on earth is??

 

A favorite hash pastime in Greece - tortoise fondling

 

A good way to get wet trainers.

 

A well-deserved (OK maybe not) beer stop.

 

Careful Thrice Nightly! That's a loose stepping stone. CU Alithia gives encouragement.

 

Mad Dog jumps up and down to test if the bridge is safe. Is that stupid or what?

 

L-to-R: Teeny Boner, Mad Dog, Thrice Nightly, Fair Cop - all trying to impress the photographer Capt. Sumo.

Clitoria questions Ferret Blower - who has brought her daughter
and son-in-law to the hash.

Clitoria questions the hash virgins

 

Oooh!, aren't they bold??

 

Clitoria checks the hash virgin - she enjoys this bit

 

Look!, I'll show you says the visitor

 

Clitoria is taken by surprise

 

And again!

 

They drink to the hash virgin song

 

Clitoria is given a DIO for being embarrassed for the first time anyone can remember

 

CU Alithea gives Captain Sumo an award from our inaugral run in Lionethio

 

A golden goblet (sort-of)

 

Doggie Style & Rear Entry have their Name Days on Greek Easter Sunday

 

 

The Easter Meal

 

The lamb is cooking - being turned by the electric motor (which later fails)

 

The Greek country sausages are coming along nicely.

 

Now the sausages are ready to be handed round and eaten.

 

Rear Entry's Kokoretsi is ready to eat and so are the hashers

 

It's hard work getting the Kokoretsi off the Souvla and into the Tapsi

(Does that sound a little Greek?)

Hungry Hashers join the food line

 

Here we go! Spy Shagger helps to serve the guests.

 

Rear Entry's sister smiles for a photo

 

Teeny Boner is happy that the meal is finally ready.

The lamb is taking longer to cook than expected -
so rather than wait, the hashers get tucked-in to what is ready.

The electric motor for the spit has burnt-out and so Rear Entry has to turn the lamb by hand.
(Capt. Sumo and others took turns to turn later).

Capt. Sumo combines lamb turning with drinking

 

The lamb is now fully cooked and is taken down from the BBQ

 

The meat is carefully cut away from the main carcass

 

Spy Shagger (R) and her sister (L) pose by the BBQ

 

Dissecting the lamb is hard work for Rear Entry

After eating, the hashers get down to more drinking and chatting
