Mojacar Friday 4th May – Pink Panther Run
Following a morning wandering around Garoucha market and a tapas style lunch with Lightening, Teutonic, Thumper, yet to be named Imelda etc on the beachfront it was time to head back to Mojacar for the Pink Panther Run due to start at 15:00 pm from the Plaza.
The only problem was that there were too many for the one taxi available, but there would surely be another one along soon as it was only 13:15!
How wrong can you be! We hailed a passing taxi(dermist) and he joined us in the queue along with While You're Down There, Wrong Keyes and Open All Hours. As 14:00 approached it became clear that the taxi drivers were all knocking off for siesta time, the next bus back was not due for at least another half hour and the bus stop was some distance away.
The Brigadier was called and good Samaritan that he is, collected the majority of those energetic hashers intending to complete the Pink Panther run. The Brigadier drew a map, which he left with the others showing the location of the afternoons hash circle. They failed to find it, which turned out to be a common feature over the coming days with the Brigadiers maps! He did say that the map was idiot proof, but we couldn't find a sober idiot to test this theory on.
A good sized pack, all wearing the new black Pink Panther vests that reflect heat so well, gathered at the Plaza. The start of the trail followed the normal pink panther morning beach run, down to the drinking fountains and on down. A short way down the predictable pink path, the trail deviated onto shale tracks through the mountains undergrowth.
There were several Geological regroups at which Beerstop gave technical explanations of the various rock formations. This kept the pack together. A particularly interesting explanation was given about how the intense pressure from movement of the earth's tectonic plates had created a large curved piece of what looked like welsh slate protruding from the ground. Beerstop justified this by confirming that glaciers had moved rocks hundreds of miles and deposited them when they melted. This could well be slate from Benghazi's garden! This enthralling and plausible explanation was accepted until it was noticed that there was writing on the side of the broken piece of polyethylene pipe!
The trail turned off through a bamboo jungle that the pack had to hack its way through. More obstacles lay ahead, with hilltop turnbacks, razor sharp gorse, and small tunnels beneath a road.
The trail split for walkers and FRB's and Chrissie feeling fit and hearing that it wasn't far to the circle, decided to follow the runners. This was a mistake as unfortunately the trail went on a large loop and no-one noticed that Chrissie was following and falling further behind.
When the pack arrived at the venue for the circle nobody noticed that Chrissie was missing as they carried drinks and chairs from the Brigadiers car to the circle spot some distance from the road.
Eventually it was noticed that Chrissie was missing. Beerstop was extremely concerned that his wife had disappeared, so he had a Mahou beer while he considered the options. Beerstop became more anxious and decided to have another beer to calm his nerves while he organised a search party. Scouts were sent to the highest vantage points to drink more Mahou and search the horizons for Chrissie. Eventually the search party was organised just in time to see Chrissie emerge in the distance. There was just time for Beerstop to have another Mahou to celebrate the arrival of his wife, who explained that she became lost whilst doing the long route and ended up doing both runners and walkers hashes combined.
The circle started in bright sunshine as the Brigadier welcomed everyone and passed the circle over to RA for the day Dave El Rave. As El Rave singled out sinners, dark clouds approached and the heavens opened. The sopping circle huddle got smaller and smaller, sheltering under a tree that gave little respite from the tremendous downpour. It became the smallest circle known in Mojacar and it was noted that the rain in Spain fell mainly on the circle. Dave El Rave was chastised for his control of the weather as RA. It fell on Ettles to raise the spirits of the Hash by "singing in the rain", followed by hands together, arms together, knees together, cheeks together etc. The buttock clenching had everyone in fits of laughter and the sun came back out. Towards the end of the circle While You're Down There started to strip, unveiling a T-shirt with a picture of absentee Calapso! Unveiling of Calapso.
After the circle FRB's took the jungle route back through the orange groves. Who came up with the urban myth that it is OK to eat oranges off the trees provided you eat then there? Must have been a hasher! The SCB's headed for the bus back.
There followed a brilliant evening of dining, dancing, drinking and music courtesy of Ettles and Eckhart on guitars and Taxi on tables! Some ended up in the open air swimming pool in the early hours. An evening to remember for those that can!
