Run #134 - Wednesday 7 April 1999 | |||||||||||
 The pack gathered at the usual place in central Nordnes, and in a short opening ceremony, the HASH shit was presented to Beer Stop, who wore it with pride. Followed by his leading bells, we passed through Bergen centre, and ran in good speed towards Sandviken.Suddenly, before anyone understood what was going on, we were going to have a drink stop. Only too late, we understood that it was just to fill up the tanks for what awaited us later. The drink stop was the first outdoor this year, on a cosy pavilion with a sophisticated clientele. With our tanks filled up, we set out for the medieval fortress in Bergen harbour. We ran on the rampart around the fortress, stained with blood from countless orgies and rapes in the Viking era. As this is of no possible interest for a true Hasher, we jumped down from the rampart with all possible dignity, and continued towards Sandviken. Before we started the great ascent we had a checkpoint, where Backtracker informed us about his broken knee (maybe he knew what was coming), and was allowed a flatter route back. This checkpoint will henceforth be called "The Checkpoint of Wounded Knee". From now on, the run was a real up-up. All the way up to Fjellveien, a couple of miles higher up in altitude. But, what goes up must come ... and so on. We had to get down somehow, because we always have to pass through a parking house when Abominator is hare. It is some kind of thing with him. Back in Abominator and Dr Butt's lovely garden, it was time for the traditional down-downs. The hare first for laying a too flat run with too few parking houses, next was Foggy Glasses for complaining about too few down-downs (?!?). Beer Stop got a down-down for whining on the run (so what's new). During this down-down it was duly noticed that he was holding his free hand on his hip in a kind of cute manner, so he got one more for being poofter during his first down-down.
