LP's 70th Birthday Hash

They got lost, they got lost some more and then...they got lost...

Basically that was the theme of the whole hash for Large Package's 70th birthday hash.

Tbh at points I assumed that LP and First Class Stomp had really commited to the bit by only putting down 70% of markers ๐Ÿ˜‰

Also meant no need for any fish hooks, as the rambos took a long time figuring out where to go before the wimps turned up, involving walking around one farm and trying not to get done for trespassing. I unfortunately had a pretty bad hypoglyceamia around halfway, which ended up with jogging some of the wimps route before the beer stop, but this ended up in their favour due to a missed (and stomped on) arrow across a bridge resulting in a pretty mega diversion and backtrack after myself and Boatie McBoatface ran back to the last marker we'd seen to figure out where we were all supposed to be heading.

The hash finished with a 'long route' and short route' rather than wimps and rambos, which suited me fine due to the messy diabetes probs I was having!

Down downs for....

  • Large Package and First Class Stomp, the hares
  • White Noise, Off His Trolley and the lovely visitor from Ukraine, Andrii for being late back (when there was birthday cake to be had...unforgivable...)
  • Speedbump and Ready About for cutting at the very end (obviously wanted first dibs on cake and beer)
  • Of course Large Package had birthday down downs!

A massive hashy 70th birthday LP from your LVH3 family!
