Darkness was not far away so we set off at a good pace and found the deliberate tactics of The Bookmaker, to ensure we would spend the night on the mountain..... there was no blue to be seen. He whinged that the rain had washed it away, but as Mountain Goat pointed out, he probably hadn't
bothered with any in the first place!!

The highlights of the run included enough mud to mean we were running on 2 foot wedges when we got home and the famous invisible 'F'. This apparently had been visible from space, when the Hash was set, but which we found no trace of after crawling around and under the water tank with a microscope!!!

The best highlight though was the experience of the dark 'womb' like tunnel under the Attiki Odos. This was particularly enjoyed by Playboy 2 who had to be prevented from returning for another go!. Other Hashers did not appreciate running through a waterlogged tunnel in the pitch dark, while other hashers spotted various rats and black holes to watch out for!!!!

Once on the other side The Bookmaker worked out that if we completed his full Hash at our stupendous pace, we should be back at the Taverna around Wednesday lunchtime. So the most famous Front Running Bastard and Long/Short Cutting Bastard known to the Athens HHH, chickened out and pointed out a shortcut back. It still took us 40 minutes but missed out the repeat Ghost Train tunnel.

The circle was endless and pointless as usual. Some people had DOIs and others didn't for various reasons. We wound up as the rain started again and every vehicle in the car park had to negotiate the circle and Gobbler abuse to get out.

Things improved immensely at the Taverna, which had a high percentage attendance. We ate and drank to severe excess and pissed off until next week.
