THE RUN

Heading-up towards the hill

Checking!
The flour blobs are white and challenging to spot on near-white stony surfaces

On On!
The Bookmaker comes thundering by ...

Shunt stands for a traditional hare's pose by one of his checks

Rim Job is very energetic today and is seen here actually overtaking other hashers going up a steep hill section

View with bee hazard. The sea can just be observed in the distance.

On up! Shunt struggles up his own trail.

View from the hill top.
The sea (Faliro and to the right Piraeus) is now clearly visible

What goes up must come down.

Running along the footpaths in the residential section of the trail.

Back at the parking area of this A-to-A run we set up our celebration table
and do a group photographic pose for the Athens Hash founder Brian Gray
who set the first run here in December 1978.

OK, enough posing - let's open the champagne!
Otis has kindly sent Rocket Socket some shot glasses for us to hang round our necks -
so we are doing shots AND bubbly

Rear Entry "pops" the first bottle

Let the pouring begin!
Wet Dream gets to work while Fair Cop reaches for the Akvavit orAquavit
(a traditional Scandanavian spirit)

Doggie Style enjoys a large cup of pink champagne while Wet Dream keeps pouring.

After the party poppers were fired it was time for the cakes

Doggy Style cuts the first slice

Good and economical

THE DIRECTIONS TO THE RUN
(Just for the record)

Loaded hashers:

Get on Attiki Odos, join the Imittos ring and take the Papagou exit to Anastaseos street, at the end of the slope turn right, the meeting place 100ms along this road on the left.

Cheapskates from the North & South:

From Leoforos Mesogeion, take a left (coming from the North) / right (coming from the South) on Leoforos Kyrprou. [At the intersection, there is a statue of General Papagos]. When you come to a roundabout, go about 3/4 of the way around onto Ionias. Make an immediate right at the sign for Verde and head uphill with the park on your left. (The road is Leoforos Alexandros Papagos.) When you come to the intersection with a traffic light, that is Odos Anastaseos. Turn right onto Anastaseos. Go just under a kilometre and turn into the second parking lot on the right. If you pass under the Immitos Ring Road, you've gone too far
