Special Easter Event - Saturday 4/4/15 Tiwi Beach Walk
We assembled at Merybel the bar between Morning Star and Moiz. We had surprise visitors Fishkiller and Hashish from one of the Nairobi Hashes what a pleasant surprise. And we waited and waited. At 1.45 we decided to set off Akuku Danger having contacted us to tell us he was still at the ferry. We cut straight down to the beach and found the tide was alarmingly high so the walk to the Kongo River was hard work. Crossing the river was fun we found it was at least waist deep so we were all soaked through. AS received another call from Maxine who plans to join our group, she had made her way (late) to the Old Mosque and bravely waded across to join us.
On the Tiwi side we found the tide was so high that it looked as though we might not make it to Twiga Lodge but fortunately there is a well worn path that took us around the small headland and back to the beach, We arrived at Twiga about 3.00 and took several well earned beers.
High Tide was about 4.30 and we set off back from Twiga about 4.00 by this time we had heard from Akuku that he and Betty were parked up at the Old Mosque and swimming but the river was now too deep to cross but AS, Philip and Major Disaster waded across and AS found himself swimming across. The others had spotted a canoe which was doing service as a ferry and managed to cross without getting their feet wet - wimps.
We took the lane up from the mosque MD, Philip and Trunk Call left us there returning home, the reminder piled into a matatu and returned to Merybel, Akuku and Betty had left the beach and were bar hopping and eventually joined us at Merybel.
It wasn't a proper Hash and not the best introduction to hashing for our virgins/visitors but I really like doing it, crossing the river is a real adventure.
Present from SCHHH Sleepy, Flasher, MD, TC, AS and virgin Maxine, from NHHH Fishkiller, Hashish and Betty and from MHHH Akuku Danger.
MHHH meet is next weekend 11th April. SCHHH next scheduled meet is 18th April please note AS will not be present and MD will also be away. AS has paper and dice etc. and will co-operate with Hare/s.
