37 Hashers met at the meeting point at the forte near Praia do Abano.  It was slightly windy.  After the Hares (Baron Von Jockstrap and No Moor) explained the trail markings to virgins, we set off from the starting point at the Restaurante Abano.  Both Wimps (approximately 20) and Rambos (approximately 12-15)  headed northwards along the cliffs before turning inland to run through the trees.  It was at this point that the slight breeze disappeared removing any cooling potential.  We ran back along the highlands above Abano, before turning inland again toward the valley at the back of Charneca.  The route took us back up hill through the back of Charneca and Murches, before coming back down to Guincho then across to Abano, where we re-enountered the light breeze.

Virgins were:  Hannah and Adrian Groves, and Susanna and Karl Nickel.

Retornados were:  Baron Von Arsen, Big Jumper, Guillerme and Martin Leclerc, Crunchy, Little Jumper, La Formiga, the Maples (Stroker and Sugar), and MissDirected.

Celebrating Hashy Birthdays were:  This Won’t Hurt (50 (Hashes, not years)), Honky Tonk Woman (45), Big Jumper (28), Good Jumper (25), Little Jumper (30), Marie Bylina (5), Crunchy (20), Detonator (11), MissDirected (15), and Depth Charge (125).  These numbers are completely inaccurate and bear only a slight resemblance to reality.

Marie Bylina, having completed her 5th Hash, was a No Name; at her next Hash, she will earn an appropriately inappropriate Hash Handle.  She made mention of an embarassing situation in her past when she left the ladies room with toilet paper stuck to her shoe.

Misdemeanors, some of which were appropriate, some of which were spurious and inappropriate were awarded to the following:

Acting RA – No Moor – for the slight breeze

Crunchy – for being too sexy for his shirt

Voldemort, K2, MissDirected – for topping up their beverages during the circle.

Thus ended the circle and began the AGPU.  Results of the AGPU:

Hash Meeting Point, from Hash 665 (7 August 2010), will be at the Hash Starting Point, at 1430.  For those stragglers, virgins, and misinformed Hashers, there will be a sweeper at the Casino at 1400, departing soon thereafter.  Hash Cash will be collected at the Starting Point, not at the Casino.  Hash Starting Point will be divulged via this website, and/or during the circle of the previous Hash.
