Run #212, April 17th, 2005

After making a late decision to attend the hash, fellow hasher H-Eater and i attempted to do the course on the back of his scooter. We didn�ft manage to find the start point, however, stumbled upon the trail in our efforts. We cruised for less then 1km before the first set of stairs. While these stairs severely dampened plans to complete the course on a scooter for the first time, they were an inspiration for a much better idea. We abandoned the course briefly to stop by a family mart and stock up on enough beer for a mid course impromptu beer stop. I don�ft think the Nagoya hashers have ever been so happy to see a set of stairs. Once all hashers had been refueled, there was nothing more to do than to drive ahead of them again and set up in front of the next set of stairs.

After about an hour of weaving in and out of parks, pushing the scooter up rocky paths, sending one of us on recon missions to find either the trail or the nearest scooter friendly path, being stopped by police for driving in a park, and an interesting encounter with some shcool girls, we arrived at the goal just after the leading runners, where we all drank, played with a soccer ball and Daisuke before the down downs. I�fm sure there were many interesting down downs and certain that everyone had at least one. From the circle we headed to an izakaya for some food and more beer. Everybody was drunk and happy... again
