RUN NO. 1687
DATE SUNDAY 3rd APRIL
HARES HAMISH & SPANISH FLY
LOCATION From HAMISH's FLAT way down in GLYFADA
SCRIBE BOB ADAMS (Ed: One of the original AH3 runners)
By 11.00 am a goodly number of Hashers and their attendees had congregated on Hamishs
Balcony drinking icy cold Champagne with the traditional Easter cake and
oodles of RED HARD BOILED EGGS. So within minutes the balcony was
covered in egg shells.
As it was over 20 years since I last visited Athens non of the attendees were
known to me = and whilst I was introduced to all the various names became a
blank - other than the hosts HAMISH & SPANISH FLY - though I think I was
introduced to someone called STRAWBERRY or was it RASPBERRY - I cannot remember
- plus a smallish Greek lady called LEANOVER - who after a bottle or two of
wine really acted her name.
So after copious Champagne off the pack went - approx 12 runners plus some
walkers - a longish run with plenty of calling so made be remember the old days
Where we went have really no idea - it must have encompassed many parts of
GLYFADA - but it had changed so much since I was last there did not recognise
any thing.
Finally back to the flat for down downs in Champagne - very civilised
Then HAMISH produced the feast - LAMB, KOKORETSI and oodles of VEGGIES
The lamb evidently was from INVERCARGILL - about as far away from Athens as
possible - but it sure was fabulous.
So in true hash form we all ate and ate washed down with both white and red
wine.
And sitting out on the balcony under a cloudless sky with a warm wind what more
could any Hasher want.
Finally Cappuccinos for whoever wanted with TSIPOURA as an accompaniment.
So I sure enjoyed Hashing again with the AH3 - and trust it will not be as long
as 20 years before returning.
As we say CHRISTOS ANESTI on that day.
