BALI HHHII 1500 HASH THRASH AT KEMENUH ON SATURDAY 19TH JUNE

FUCK ME – that was some party, and all kudos to the organisers and sponsors, most notably WORM, COMING ROUND THE MOUNTAIN, IBM, RINGTAIL & SIXTY-NINER, NO DEPOSIT, and not forgetting HORNY HERRING who ensured an ample supply of the golden fluid. I think we were on our eighth or ninth keg when I sloped off and there was still a sizeable crowd round the beer truck. And the grub – oodles of it, pig meat and satay off the grill and every kind of crunchy, crudity and sweetmeat you’ve ever heard of. But beware those BLACK BULL B52 BOMBERS and the cajolement of those dispensing them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many motor-cars at a HASH RUN, and all so well lined up thanks to HARELIP & TOILET TRASHER. Wot a cosmopolitan crew creeping out of the carpentry in all directions. Preponderance of FROGS and not a few KRAUTS and BUTTER-BOXES: I even found myself chatting to an ARGIE who professed to prefer the IRON LADY to the IRON-WITTED GENERAL. HARES were WOODENEYE, AMAZON & SHORT SHAFT, who, as predicted, cleverly set three trails, each designed to get all punters, including ONE-EYED TROUSER SNAKE and HORNY HERRING back to the beer truck well before dark. Solstice in a couple of days, remember? Surprise appearances by THE GRAND POOH-BAH who was with us from BALI H3 RUN #1 in May1977, and THE WOLF – pisspot with paintpot who should slap it up and down more often – mad artist actually did the long run. It was a field day for the doggies – loads of ’em and all generally well behaved, just like their masters & mistresses. YWGMH, having been called upon to hail birthday boys and shrive miscreants (affording appropriate exposition of posteriority), was then persuaded to celebrate the comely presence of so many delectable HENHOUSE HARRIETTES by rendering the original ROEDEAN SCHOOL SONG. On being handed the mike, sparks flew out of his arse, his being unshod and said gizmo improperly earthed. It should be clear to everyone by now that I do not wear shoes and that I suffer from microphone phobia which means that I hate fucking microphones. Thank you SAINT TITS for holding it for me. And thank you chaps for beautiful new shirt.

HASH TRASH AT MAMBAL SWIMMING POOL

SATURDAY JUNE 12TH 2021

PUFF PASTRY finally came forward and, ably assisted by OXZY and BEMO, contrived a corker. We’ve run here often enough the past and thought we know every track backwards, but these HARES traversed entirely new territory, and there was no old paper to confound the issue. Bloody well done. Good crowd and a few new races, but noticeable absence of some familiar ones. No names mentioned, though we know who you are, and no excuses: the HASH takes precedence over all other activities. Have you noticed, by the way, that, as the mid-year solstice approaches, it is getting darker earlier – not a huge variation in daylight hours, however, at 8 degrees south. Yet it seems to me that darkness descends prematurely in this covid age, or do I merely imagine it? I have a theory that cataclysmic upheavals in recent years have knocked the planet off its axis, no matter how infinitesimally, and that we are spinning out of our accustomed orbit. So you think I’m definitely losing it, and should be put on ice, do you? Haven’t you seen sufficient crack of late? I do not suggest that we go back to a start at 16.00, but HARES must tailor their runs accordingly.

Anything else? Big run coming up next week – our 1500th at kemenuh, with multiple attractions. Bring on the dancing girls, but remember: no pissing in the herbaceous borders. Be there and, if you have anything special to offer or perform, apprise HASH MASTER WORM, Oh, and don’t forget the off will be at 16.00, extra time for pissing it up as opposed to ploughing thro the ulu. Welcome back PEARL NECKLACE from benighted blighty: it does sound grim over there. A select few repaired to the pub – MELTING POT actually. Fucking excellent and I really ought to go there more often, but you know – Lansia, poor old fart, can’t handle it any more …. See you on 19th – finest family in the land. ICE, DOWN DOWN.

What’s in a name? That which we call a nose by any other name would small a rat.” (Extract from More Profiles) BALI HASH by Victor Mason (CV Taksu 1988) – NB 37 copies remain in decent nick, and going for a song at BALI HASH II HABERDASHER: Grab ’em while they last. AMAZON DOT COM want 70 bucks for this masterpiece which was intended for BALI INTERHASH ‘88 goodies bag, but some fucking subcommittee didn’t agree and YWGMH got stuck with the entire print run of 3000. 1000 were subsequently given away at BALI RECOVERY RUN 2003 of which YWGMH was Chairman. Were you there? Who cares? Anyway, before all else today, YWGMH was interrogated by DISCOWANKER. Who gave you the name NIGHTJAR2 Actually it was BUNTER aka RED NECKED PADDY FIELD WARBLER EX CAMBRIDGE H3 and alumnus of BALI H3 in 1983/4 – some allusion to avian affinities, a goatsucker or maybe a chamber-pot or even something brimming in hand after dark.

It was DISCOWANKER’S circle, most admirably conducted and WOODEN EYE was called upon to bestow monickers. Something to do with: Sunny or cloudy no honey in Saudi. The cacophonous caterwauling of our farraginous fellowship superimposed itself on all else – HONEY DIPPER HONEY DRIPPER HONEY SUCKER HONEY FUCKER HONEY BUNNY HONEY POT HONEYLAMB … DIP IT IN HONEY & BESHIVE was the outcome. Welcome to BALI HASH HOUSE HARRIERS TWO TWO TWO. And welcome back BLOW JOE from self-imposed confinement, and WRIGGLY from on-line examination. Stay with us. And the run today? There were two two two, by all accounts both equally brilliant and overflown by screaming Serpent Eagles and cleverly contrived so that walkers and runners returned together. BRAVO. Terrific turnout and consumption, and our worthy HARES were INFLATABLE BEDMATE (think rubber boats crammed with bathing belles) and SERIAL OFFENDER (you don’t want to know).

Really one of the best yet. Next week? I can’t remember.

SARINBUANA ECO LODGE & ULU TUKAD PETANU

SATURDAY MAY 29 ’21

Two remote sequestered fastnesses attainable by practically unnavigable dirt or strip concrete tracks in the central highlands. First with IBM and SWEET SU to Sarinbuana on the western flank of Mt Batukaru, north of Tabanan. Why had I not been there before? Homely comfortable villa surrounded by luscious fruiting flowering garden on forest fringe. All the birds and butterflies one might wish to see – and more – viewable from your verandah. Serpent and Sea-Eagles top the list, and Tree-Nymph (in Malay kupu surat – Idea or Hestia sp) flies, unimaginably huge and wafting at all elevations. Highly localized I’d failed to include them in my Butterflies of Bali. Wot a wanker. Outside the dining hall a bougannvillaea bush alive with Jezebels (Delias spp) – several types not all identifiable. and within such delicacies as rendang nangka and salak crumble with homemade icecream. Check it out – Sarinbuana Eco Lodge – and attractive tariffs in covid-season. We went on Wednesday – Hari Waisaka Puja and full moon, which we watched being slowly gobbled by demon Ravana, emerging benignly enlightened.

North west of the palace at Tampaksiring is the camp-site where we’ve run and camped before – but not I.  ICE.  RINGLESS TOSSER erected a monstrous tepee, capable of accommodating 24 bods and KUM ON YER BACK had assembled an abbreviated WORM, which was finally burned. They were also HARES assisting BARNACLE BALLS and – would you credit it – GAYLICK. But the latter had retired – why for God’s sake? and. should also be duly iced. Fantastic aspects, caves, sacred pools, tumbling chutes specially designed to twist WORM’s arm. But no serious damage done. Golden-backed Woodpeckers and would-you believe Creamy-breasted Flygrabbers to boot. It can’t get better than this. WOODEN EYE and LABIA, whose coterie of sexual deviants were duly anointed, under the watchful eye of SERIAL OFFENDER, were succeeded by NIGHTJAR who was roundly shriven for inadvertently finding himself out of order as well as for being a piker previously but no lap-dancing by EAT HER deterred by disposable teeth. Praise from AMAZON (ARSE) for displaying suitable crack. Bonkarsa next.

HASH TRASH AND TREES AT MONKEY RIVER KEMENUH

RUN 1496 – SATURDAY 22 May

That lovely twisting lane and avenue of sheltering palms, newly planted fields on either side, down to the wooded graveyard and mighty Petanu valley. We’ve been here before, quite a few times, but not recently. I’ve usually got as far as that stupendous waterfall, but this time decided to explore our more immediate surrounds. The wood is ancient and comprises many magnificent trees, including ginormous Sterculia, Bombax, Ficus, and Tectona (Teak). Not a good spot for birds though: this is a kingdom of macaques. Little long-tailed buggers scampering everywhere and no tourists to spoil them. Tucked away behind the temple, quite easily the most lavishly appointed cock-fighting arena I’ve seen, with ring-master’s dais raised high above centre-stand. Emerging from the shrubbery I see NIGHT CRAWLER clutching a large Kaja fruit. No, it’s not a Jeruk Bali – pahit and poison and best discarded. It! did call for the application of anti-itch salve, but no damage done.

Urgent text message from SWEET SU on arrival at the beer truck – take it easy on the piss; your second jab rescheduled for Monday morning – so better watch it. Huge attendance – 130 odd, all the old familiar faces and not a few new. Sorry I couldn’t make it last week, missing WOODEN EYE’s defloration and LABIA’s circumcision ceremonies, victim of misinformation don’t you know. But DISCOWANKER was there, today also, and performing admirably. Hares were HARELIP and MUFF RIDER (newly christened) and Paper Bitch AMAZON (or AMAZON ARSE from Medan I’m told). Absolutely no complaints, and bloody well better not be (as pronounced by HARELIP before the event). Indeed, what was there to complain about – easily four kegs consumed plus bottles and splendid circle, AMAZON iced – I’m not sure why, but seemed to enjoy it, with EAT HER lap-dancing, and duly shriven by YWGMH. More than exiguous crack: that’s the way to do it. The Jews had been engaged in mighty smiting of late, thus prompting THERE WERE THREE JEWS FROM JERUSALEM. Can’t believe you never heard it before. Wherever have you been?

WILD CHERRY & RARE EARTH AT BR TIMBUL SATURDAY MAY 8 2021

The day started with a dip in the briny at Pantai Merthasari. Nearly high tide at nine and sparkling ocean. Agung and Penida clear on the horizon. More remarkable the discovery of a great number of Glasswing butterflies (Acraeinae species) in scrubby vegetation by the beach. I had described these flies as occurring at higher elevations (and I told you about finding one in my driveway the other day), but I never expected to see them by the seaside. Fluttering low and ranging in colour from bright ferruginous orange to a faded tawny tint, I was admiring some by the wayside when I became aware of this presence behind me. Mister Mason I believe – so spake DISCOWANKER whom I had not seen since his return from Blighty. NIGHTJAR said I and I’ll see you on the run later. Sorry can’t make it today but I’ll definitely be on next week. Better be – or ice.

Heavenly vistas as before, but the fields vastly changed from emerald green to burnished gold (in the space of four weeks), with harvesting in progress. As promised two divergent sorties – thank you HANDJOB and WHITEBAIT who reside nearby and had recceed the area well, and everyone including newcomers and visiting hashers from Bandung and Surabaya ecstatic – but how come IBM and ORGAN GRINDER showed up in 20 minutes? – lossof concentration peradventure?

Indeed, welcome back ORGAN GRINDER and SPOOK. Been a while – and GET LOST (not SEX ON THE DESK, sorry). At the final check an eminence surmounted by a truly amazing Juwet Bali tree, biggest I’ve ever seen, with fruit like cherries but acrid/acidic and eagerly sought after by Balinese children. Jamblang in bahasa, and familiarly Malabar Plum – Syzygium cumini, if anyone still interested. Great aftermath with carefull ructed ENGINEERS DREAM (well done CONCRETE ERECTION) and legendary LOBSTER,

Next week at Lungsiakan – NB DISCOWANKER – and if you don’t know where Lungsiakan is, ask a fucking policeman.

BUKIT JATI MAY DAY 2021

 

PDF AVAILABLE HERE

 

Mayday May day – no; not an international call from a sinking ship or errant aeroplane or distressed Hen-House Harrier – nor anything to do with socialist and labour demonstrations. A hint of sportive activity perhaps. A loud declaration of its being the very first day of the merry month of May. Oh, it’s red flags and up the workers is it? Where are these people? Well, there was a maypole with a lantern on top and a beer jug below, and YWGMH skipped round it, apron bulging with nuts. But I thought only girls were supposed to do that. Pretty girls with frocks and garlands and posies and beribboned tresses streaming. Here we come gathering nuts in May on a cold and frosty morning. Whose nuts shall we gather today? How about BOUNCING CZECH’s? He was the Hare, bably assisted by NO DEPOSIT. Indeed, a fine pair. And who more suitably disposed than those with Bukit Jati within bottles hurling distance of their backdoor?

There was more than one nigger in the teak-hill however. Two other mobs had laid paper in the area, and BOUNCING CZECH had devised tricoloured – predominantly blue, white and red Czech bendera – bumph in ribbons like those bedecking the May Queen as opposed to inchoate blobs previously festering. It was difficult to judge the efficacy of such provision, since no one – not even an SCB – got back within the hour. Usual postmortems – they do go on – but no unhappiness expressed. Truck piled high with kegs wangled FOC courtesy of WORM and HORNY HERRING who now Beer Master. I believe we disposed of 31 in celebrating Mayday, Queen of the May, and darling rosebuds, not to say

patron Saints Days James and Philip, and the long-awaited return of SEX ON THE DESK. Good one. And finally YWGMH&S NICE GIRLS’ candles, Desa Timbul wayyup there again next Saturday. If you missed HANDJOB’S paragon on April 10, two more totally divergent virgin lays promised, so be there, and I’ll see you then. Bloody marvelous.

ON ON ….

There are certain recurring expressions – like ON ON and ON UP for example. From the HARE’s preliminary announcement – cross the bridge – you must cross the bridge – don’t forget to cross the bridge – to – do it again and CROSS THAT FUCKING BRIDGE – this latter addressed to two virgin late-comers who arrived back at the beer truck within 20 minutes. Disoriented Russkies maybe. A host of unfamiliar phizogs, as TOILET TRASHER remarked to me over a precursory pint or two: actually he was one of the HARES: in fact there were four of the buggers, not including supernumerary PAPER BITCH – right as a ram’s horn this run was going to be. So who were the other protagonists then? INFLATABLE BEDMATE chiefly with CONCRETE ERECTION and MOUNT ‘N GROAN. Any more for the skylark?

Some other mob had laid paper in the area recently, so the cunning MOUNT & GROAN produced sacksful of red and white – the colours of St George – to avoid confusion, and apparently it did the trick.

Aside from spectacular scenery, tumbling torrents and strategic bridges, multitudes of butterflies reported, including butterflies reported, including birdwings and LBJs galore. Now is the season: everyone must have noticed.

Fantastic turn-out including many visitors – at least 100

Adults plus delightful adolescents and kids who performed Four hogsheads demolished.

And welcome back WORMHOLE. Afraid I missed the main show – bloody disgrace – blame it on the anti-biotics – bit of goyang-goyang or injun-injun as we say here – sorry I missed CONCRETE ERECTION’s pièce de résistance from King Henry VIII i 1 which relaxed the sinews somewhat. Bloody good show.

EXTRACT FROM THE JOURNAL OF NIGHTJAR

SATURDAY 17 APRIL 2021

INFLATABLE BEDMATE rang at midday offering ride to today’s HASH way up in the hills, but I declined none too graciously. Poor sod (full of pain-killers and penicillin) basket-case from overdoing it last week – at least five piss-ups including on the same day No Dead Fish at SAM O’NELLA’s to celebrate the departure of THE CUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO followed by CURRY CLUB at GANESH hosted by CHIPPY and DICK THE PRICK. OCTOGENARIAN AQUARIANS ought to know better, but ….. I had really been looking forward to the caves and waterfalls and jungle trails advertised last week by WHITEBAIT and HANDJOB, but …. ON ON all you BUCKY LUGGERS.

Scintillant start to the day The Drongo Cuckoo shouting the odds perched high in the Acacia. I get a good bead on him – clearly square-tailed and presumably resident. This chap can count up to seven, and that is the peak of his performance. The other night I had one that stuck on six for over 200 consecutive calls …. then I fell asleep. Counting cuckoo calls never fails.I once had one that went occasionally to eight. The book says up to a dozen. I don’t believe it. But – tell me – how come there wassnary sign nor sound of this bird in Bali for something like 40 years (or if there were it was never recorded)?

How do we account for the fact that I have heard (and not infrequently seen) Drongo Cuckoos practically every day and night for the past three or four years? And I am not the only one. Ask INFLATABLE BEDMATE for another. Climate change? BOLLOX! Birds and butterflies alleged to be extinct reappear regularly. All over the show. How come?

My death has been reported both in print and on-line. Moribund I maybe, but still alive and kicking. INFLATABLE BEDMATE next week in the uplands for Kuningan and St George. ON ON ye noblest English!

OBSERVATIONS RE: RUN ON SATURDAY 10 APRIL 2021

Scribe: Nightjar

You have to hand it to HANDJOB and WHITEBAIT, when it comes to trail laying, these chaps know a x thing or two. First the run site – perfecto – virgin spectacular – well away from habitation. Okay so quite a long way from anywhere – HORNY HERRING said it took him about 14 hours from Sanur – but bloody well worth it, as all who attended agreed, undeterred by April showers en-route. Admirably clear at the off: you could see all the way to the Bukit some 2,000 foot below. And all greenest green punctuated here and there by sturdy kubu-kubu with tiles roofs, sure indicator of cultural and agricultural wealth, and certainly not derived from tourism. Very friendly natives unaccustomed to bulai marauders, and two charming well turned out pecalang delegated to keep an eye on us and our motorcars, lined up along the winding country lane. No call for paved carpark: I saw not one other vehicle all the time we were there. Only one old codger on a rusty bike who spoke not a word of bahasa.

There were two runs, totally divergent – no loops, no splits – one designed without checks for walkers, and tother a runners’ run, with paper at fifteen paces intervals and seven strategic checks up to 100 yards which reversed running order often. Front runners must have done a good six miles to most of the pack’s five. Most came back together and even HORNY HERRING came home well before dark. Bloody good show. Aspiring hares take good note. Good circle capably conducted by WORM and WOODEN EYE with many lusty DOWN DOWNS plus minor contribution of YWGMH who pointed out that we were not only celebrating his attendance but the birthdays of two most eminent English WILLIES – philosopher, critic and essayist W. Hazlitt and founder of that greatest of all charitable institutions the Salvation Army, ‘General’ w. Booth (respectively 1778 and 1829). A pertinent extract from the former’s Essay on Criticism: – ‘The English (it must be owned) are rather a foul-mouthed nation.’ I echo that. ON ON –
