Visitors from Portsmouth: Ram, Duck Butt, Herr Flick

Returnees: Pocket Rocket, Cheerio, 3sum

 

The venue: Tuckers Maltings

The time was: 19:15

The date: 13/09/2026

 

With all the news recently about threats of WW3 you would think it was all just scaremongering but it wasn't, the Germans had landed and the boat people of Portsmouth had launched their assault on the bar at Tuckers Maltings. The air raid warning had been activated and everyone indoors evacuated to the outside where 34 people came on parade to face the hare, whereupon there was a huge explosion of flour all over the ground, the place was a mess, it was chaos.

 

Upon the orders of the hare to 'run, run for your lives', everyone went running in all directions, screaming and shouting, apparently from Pocket Rocket who limped away with his knee hanging off from the rest of his leg. The longs veered to the left, shorts and walkers to the right.

 

After running over no man's land and through the trenches, the longs came to the B&Q roundabout where we broke off and fought our way along the shores of the River Teign until we got to camp Brunel and a little slow jog through the ruins and slums before going off road into the dark and dangerous undergrowth where we came to a halt. There was a VP, the Germans and boat people were already there and had claimed the territory as now part of Deutchland.

 

It was here that Swinger had to be saved as she tried jumping in the river to escape the army of English who were arriving. Having taken this island, everyone continued along the shorts until we came to Angel bridge where Archangel was on station, directing the longs and shorts to the left and walkers to the right.

 

Warmfront led the charge along the shores of the Teign, taking us all nearly.to Shaldon. Something was wrong, there was no flour seen for an age. Pisswell got onto the comms and radioed through to the Angel who was somewhere disposing of tons and tons of high explosive flour. The Angel informed us we had gone too far so we headed back, well, apart from Pollyfella, Miss inn and Fukarewe who made their own route past the sewerage centre.

 

We headed back, Jo falling in the river and getting wet up to her neck with Pisswell trying to jump in after her, so Beeflicker had to rescue them. 

 

We eventually found two huge arrows leading us into the jungle, how did we miss these you ask... well, we were following Beefy who was following Warmfront, so draw your own conclusions.

Upon exiting the jungle, we arrived at the third world area of Buckland where we were given our instructions to do some PT on the apparatus .... that's physical training Man Pig, not Personal Touching of Psychos T.i.t.s apparatus.

 

It was now so dark that everyone had their search lights on so they could see the way. After crossing the bridge over the A380 we did some back and forth of the trenches between the Teign and the carvery (this would have made a great beer and food stop). There was then some clear navigational directions for the OH through the slums of Brunel and back to the maltings for some well earned refreshments.

 

DownDowns were awarded to:

*Forrest for his big 90th birthday, good job he's deaf as the singing was atrocious.

*Ram for falling over not once, twice but three times due to forgetting his head torch.

*Man Pig for deciding that Psychos breasts were the apparatus he was going to work out with.

*Big End for looking after one of the boat people who had no torch, before. abandoning him in the dark.

And finally

*Archangel for an amazing trail, great turnout, virgin ground and for giving 34 people an amazing night.

On on

I know, you wanted me to lay

But I can't ignore the crazy visions of us here today.

And I heard that there's a special place

Where boys and girls can play ponies every single day

Was having wicked dreams

Of driving the ponies

AA and Rough as fugh

I swear they’ve come to see

She’d make her mama proud

She’d help her on this day

I’d see my baby girl

Start on her virgin lay!

God, what have we done?

She’s a hill pony girl

Who can ride to the pub

Oh mama, we’re just having fun

Showing off to the hash

It's where we belong

down at the Hill Pony Club

We’re gonna keep on riding at the

Hill Pony Club

You’re gonna keep on running, down in Trail Cordonford

I'm gonna keep on riding at the

Hill Pony Club, Hill Pony Club

Circle, and jaws are on the floor

Ponies in a carriage and a drive up to the moor

Most go, to Corndon on the lane

Meeting with the walkers w’thought we’d never see again.

Swapped like my wicked dreams

To ponies we could ride

We raced past Primms and then

To Dr Blackall’s Drive

It’s getting dark as night

Riding by torch headlight

Charlie and Alfie boys

We ride down to the stream

God, what have we done?

That’s my hill pony girl

Made you run through the mud!

Oh mama, we’re just having fun

Fish in Simons Lake, yes

It's where you belong, we’re in the

Hill Pony Club

We’re gonna keep on riding at the

Hill Pony Club

You’re gonna keep on wading, down in

Trail Corndonford

You can take your shoes off, at the

Hill Pony Club, Hill Pony Club

Don't think you’ve left us both behind

Closing in, by cantering

Mel Tor is where we’ll find

Hashers, at the view point there

We can hear your on on shout, it echos back to hares, saying

God, you’ve found our marks!

Were two hill pony girls

Doctor Blackalls is next

Oh hashers, it’s just getting dark

A quick loop of the drive

Just try not to look, down at the

big massive drop!

We’re gonna keep on riding at the

Hill Pony Club

You’re gonna keep on hashing down in Trail Cordonford

We’re gonna keep returning through the

Drift lane at Tor, back to the moor

 

Out takes:

Wow, thanks for people arriving early to get your little carriage ride done in daylight!

Sorry, to Manpig for extra time and mileage as he did the first ha ha totally alone! Oops!

Thank you for trying to rescue the lone fish in Simons lake, below Sharp Tor. It was deep and smelly, great stuff!

Charlie and Alfie ponies and the hares finally caught up below Mel Tor VP.

The darkness closed in as we climbed above Uppacott and returned OH. 

 

The down downs: The new landladies of the Tavistock Inn gave our odd bunch a warm welcome, including the pantomime horse, Lady Trotsalot of Postbridge, recent winner of the Christow show cross country. They provided some lovely sandwiches. 

 

1. First down down to Pyscho for wanting Beefy to carry her over the ford so she didn’t get her new trainers wet!

2. Next to Warmfront for running a Heller of a marathon at Haytor and beyond.

3. Rough as fugh for looking rough and being a returnee and dreading a down down! Gotta be done!

4. Next to the hare so AA was nominated by Pisswell, as she had been watching how difficult it was to drink out of a large horse bucket!

 

Thank you for coming such a long way in the dark and for lots of laughter.

On on to next week at the Tap house, Newton Abbot with Archangel.

Our prolific Hare – instructed the eager crowd, drew an arrow on the ground and we were off. the pack out the car park it won’t last, quickly followed by offspring. Before long we were heading up hill, managed a few checks, before breezed past me. ,and reappeared. Knackered I thought best leave this checking malarky to the youth. then shot past, the Longs, long gone.

Lovely, varied terrain, perfect weather, well marked, and swept by . No idea what happened on the Shorts or Walkers trails. But all were safely gathered in by 9pm so brownie points all round.

 

Down Downs

It went something like this... GP was relieved that was back safe and sound from her shenanigans on the Longs. remained intact and enquired about the Moorland adventures for next week. Mayhem then broke out... The hat and went to Laszlo. An almost customer of the Abbot (and my pub) whose birthday it happened to be. A hearty rendition of the in the wrong places followed before they left, as they were barred from the Abbot.

awarded the Guinness hat to Monica for her escapades on the Longs. This soon collapsed into a full blown naming. Arise !

Following on the same theme, it was Jo's turn. Well-deserved too! Sadly, Jo proved a bit too wily, or the group too indecisive?! So, after much pirate debate, she remains as until next time.

 

got a for his excellent trail. There was something about , AKA Casey Jones, as he arrived looking dapper in his footplate clobber. A rendition of the theme tune ensued. Somehow avoided the and PD ended up with it. Are we in 2027 now? To be fair to him, did anyone else notice that the glasses were a bit larger than normal? Mrs Murphy also popped up but I’m not sure how?!
