Both runs were in forests, on the same day, long and open to anyone:

One of the runs cost 60 SEK and included, run, sauna, food, beer and wine.
The other one cost 600 SEK and included water, sport drink and a banana.

Isn’t it strage that 9500 people including the odd hasher went for the expensive run, (Lidingöloppet), while only 30 or so went for the cheep nice all inclusive Absolut hash 441, as directed by Shakeprick. However, Shakesprick may just as well be pleased that some additional 9000 or so runners did NOT show up for the Hash, as already 30 was well beyond what Shakesprick anticipated. In order to create more room for hashers, he had even sent away his dear Nippy Knickers abroad, despite being their common housewarming hash!

Nevertheless, Shakesprick organised the crowd with honour and skill, both before and after the run. So off the run went, and started by a cunning ‘down-a-lot-and-immediately-back-up-again-checkback.’ That should teach us FRBs. We soon got going, heading for forestland when suddenly Malidog (the hash dog) comes running against us, followed by her husband Doggy Style shouting – “Önskan wait.” If she had shouted its proper hashname “Malidog,” the dog might have considered waiting. The dog seemed anyway at the time more keen to run than her owner. It can be that the poor dog is starting to get embarrassed that its husband always arrives too late. Anyway, soon they were turned in hash direction too, and the pack set off up, down, left, right through the nackareservatet beautiful forests on a sunny windy Saturday.

It was also a very good run trailwise, with just the right difficulty on the checks to keep the pack reasonably together. And a few, not entirely short, numbered checkbacks kept the FRB’s busy. A shortcut was also on offer so that all arrived more or less at the same time to the drinkstop, next to one of the nice lakes in the area. And the hare managed to supply 30 runners and walkers with ONE bottle of Sherry but at the end was was still sherry left. The trick was to use VERY small glasses. So the pack set off on back, a trail that was somewhat straighter, but still with foresty parts. When back, beer and snacks was quickly organised outside, and the circle was held in a bit chilly afternoon wind, while soup and sauna were heated.

Downdowns were awarded amog others: hare, virgins (a lot) FRBs, among others the 2 Mites and korvboll player Stefan. Quite a few other DDs as well, an unusual one to the pram- walkers that claimed they were lost while standing on the trail, holding a map, pointing at the right spot, which was also the drinkstop! King Zebra was awarded yet another Zebra-item by Malibog (how many has he by now ?). Big Mouth arrived from an Åland trip after the run to award the Poofter Vest to Marmite for no particular reason and later realised she did herself get it from Marmite.

Now we were freezing and headed to soup and sauna, time-slotted in groups by the, this day, extremely organised host. Now here comes the mystery of the day. All in all a great hash topped with good food in the Hares new abode.
