Nomad 2025 Kings Birthday weekend

Another awesome Nomad 25 hosted by Juggler and Flight Risk from Pania at Camp Wakarara near Tikokino Central Hawkes Bay

The 35 attendees were greeted with gail force winds and luckily no RV were turned over on route Saturday avo! As the stragglers trickled in the piss was flowing as we sat in the mess hall soaking up the remainder of the sun and watched campers attempting to reverse their RVs!

The hosts gave us a HnS briefing which we all paid attention to and just incase we hadn't the big black board clearly showed us what not to do on camp property.

The BS flowed as we all caught up on our annual pilgrimage which we all support each year as it's such a bloody good event and great hashmen and hussys ofcourse.

Gourmet food was served for dinner by our hosts and the 5 star food wss well received.

Sunday very slow start for most I believe but a hearty breaky and coffee put life into some..
Likka disappeared for 2 hours to set trail which lead me to believe it was a half day bush bash which turned out to be a few Kms over a few paddocks a chat with the sheep and few barbed wire fences resulting in hand injuries..

Perfect calm sunny weather for the PS and a gentle stroll back up the road whereby the committee with a few add ons ran a great circle on the camp paddock.

Daisy had been busy firing up his wood fired bbq with a few tyre tubes to get it going while our hosts served a Hilton lunch of burgers bangers coleslaw onions buns and those vego patties..

The arvo rolled on with Slushies being offered by Crusty Ring with cocktails flowing until the evenings concert put on by Xerox Humpy Perky and Crab Stick in training on the yukele.

Outdoor fires were played and interfered with but not to Emphasimas excesses of former years.

Dinner another gourmet delight put on by our real chef hosts thankyou be a hard act to follow next year..

Monday recovery run and it really was! A few announcements from the NZGM with Sproggy talking about getting the numbers at the next Nash Hash in Wellington 2026.

Thanks for an awesome wknd guys to Pania Hash organisers and Tripod who helped behind the scenes..

Onon till 26
