Rain was forecast and rain we got! Playboy-2 must have got his magic spells mixed up. We started at the foot of the mountain dry and warm and in no time a light drizzle began to cover us. It didn't last long and we carried on walking gently up the hill through narrow paths where beautiful butterflies flew from within the bushes up in the air and over our heads. The view from the top was breathtaking as we could see the clear blue water of the Vouliagmeni bay and the boats in the marina. And then it came down in buckets, the rain that is. We tried to run for shelter but had no luck. Delhi Boy with baby on his back followed - the baby seemed happy in the rain - and we all ran down the mountain as fast as we could. The trail was completely washed out and as we reached the foot of the mountain we were joined by a number of runners that were every bit as confused as us walkers as to which road to follow. After some deliberation and fast thinking by Triplex and the triplets we got back to our base while the locals kept looking at us with amusement - as if they hadn't seen drowned rats before - Ha! Ha!

Mad Dog blew the horn calling the hashers to the circle. This was a new horn that Strawberry had brought from India and we all gathered under umbrellas. The first DIO's were the hares - the lovely triplets - then the newcomers, Juan Carlos from Nicaragua & Zeta, Chris Taylor & Rachel Wells from Essex, and David Wells (Pop-Up) from Australia. We quickly dispersed and moved on to Hamish's pad to dry out and eat.

Hamish had done wonders in the kitchen and produced a fabulous range of Far Eastern specialities that we all enjoyed and washed down with a lot of Australian wine and beer. Strawberry brought a lot of gifts from the Goa Interhash which were used as prizes for jokes, skits and a male "best bum" competition won by the newcomer Chris from Essex - a lovely specimen both Leanover and myself agreed. Flowery Twat won two tee shirts by removing underpants and bra. There followed music and dancing and Strawberry got really smashed. He tried a disco twirl with Dr Dildo and promptly fell on his royal arse giving everybody a good laugh. Leanover took him home in a hurry for the one-two.
