Trash display - The Safe Haven for Bergen Hash House Harriers

Most of the action on run #1266 occurred prior to the run when a blind hasher, Comes Every Time, usurped the role as hare by staging a coup and taking over from the appointed hare! Therefore, the pack had to rendezvous way out in the sticks rather than in the city centre.

After a brief chalk-talk, ON-OUT was called and off we set. The meandering trail lead us in the "normal" direction for this part of town, UP-UP towards Nattlandsfjellet, past Sveane and ON-ON to Orrehaugene and the highest point of the trail at 408.8 m.a.s.l. At a split, most of the pack followed the long trail whilst the hashers carrying the mobile refreshments followed the shorter route to Nubbevannet.

Being a nice evening with hardly any wind, the midges were out in strength, I stopped counting when I passed the millions. A bonfire was lit and even the thick smoke did not scare them off. After an all too short stop, the desperate pack set off trying to shake off the midges.

All made it to the ON-INN, although two harriettes took a long and scenic route back. In the circle, the hare was punished a few times for being a blind bastard and not checking the official receding hare line well enough. Two pairs of new shoes were celebrated with well deserved tea bags, before some excellent nosh was served by the hare.

ON-ON to Manchester and MH3's 4th Anniversary Weekend (at least for the two travelling BH3 hashers)
