I don't want half-hearted hasher affairs
I need some hashers that really cares
There were lots of shorts, who play silly games
They won't do that again
It's got to be perfect,
The shorts have got to be, worth it

Too many hashers take second best
But I won't lay anything less
It's got to be, yeah
Perfect

The hashers are foolish, they make such mistakes
They're much too eager to be led astray
Well, I have been laying wrong too many times
Now I'm determined, I'm gonna get it right
It's got to be perfect
The longs have to be worth it, yeah

Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be, yeah
Perfect

The FRBs are checking, they make such mistakes
They're much too eager to kick the wrong way
Well, theyve have been wrong too many times
Now I'm determined, they're gonna get it right
It's got to be perfect
The trails got to be worth it, yeah

Too many hashers take second best
But I won't lay anything less
It's got to be, yeah
Perfect

The trails got to be, yeah
Worth it
It's got to be perfect....

CIRCLE
19:15 came and the hashers arrived, we promptly circled up, or was it an oval, or maybe even a sphere, anyway, we were layered round in some sort of shape.
Notices were announced that food was to be pre ordered before hashing and tobe back by 20:45,
Man pig asked for a volunteer for the words but instead we got lots of tumbleweed before Beeflicker stepped up (I think we need to start taking turns in alphabetical order to stop it being left to the same people over and over).

Over to the hare.
No walkers route, you will have to do your own thing I'm afraid, (genuine reason for this that I don't wish to talk about) a long and shorts, 1 L/S split,some private land and all laid on the right... ON THE RIGHT!

THE TRAIL

So, out the car park and everyone goes left, apart from Pisswell who listenedto the ON THE RIGHT and found the 1st mark. The trail took us along the B3195 until we could only turn right down a lane and up to an entrance to Ideford woods. We took the lower trail through the woods and shiggy where wearrived at the L/S split.

The shorts carried on with Big End, Well Hopped and Pocket Rocket leading the pack. We didn't see them again until the pub,and Pocket Rocket didn't see anything as his rookie mistake of not charging his head torch put him in total darkness and so he had to keep up with Big End and Well Hopped to see the trail. Unfortunately for him, Big End made him suffer by running faster - haha well played that man.

The longs turned left and over a fallen tree bridge and up through some private land, up a big hill and passed a double decker bus house and out on to Orchard lane and bearing right into Waterside lane.

The Pig, Pollyfella, Beeflicker and Pisswell were slipping and sliding while Beefy had disappeared behind somewhere. Crossing the bridge at the bottom led us back into the woods and onto the shorts trail to try and catch up, here we found Piltdown and Georgie having a nice muddy stroll.

The trail twisted and turned through multiple pathways in the woods before returning to the entrance to follow the trail which we came in along to go back to the pub.
The FRBs were all in front while Beeflicker and Strap-on had a gentle run back. Pisswell however, she decided the longs wasn't enough and went for a second lap!

DOWN DOWNS
Beeflicker for an amazing trail of the year

Pisswell for doing the longs AND shorts

Pocket rocket for his rookie mistake and not checking at the checks
Georgie porgie for walking the shorts and still getting back early to the pub, (Piltdown man happily downed Georgies beer)

Coldtits for being consistent and turning up late, she nominated Wetfart to take her place who was quick to accept the down down, (but not before removing his clothes for the ladies)

Man pig will be selling some of whatever it is he's been taking when he gets more supplies.

Thank you everyone who came to enjoy the trail.

ON ON to next week at the Grumpy Farmer (former Red Rock brewery) with Well Hopped and Big
End.

TALES OF A TAIL-END HASHER

 

The Words for TVH3 Hash No 2117 on Mon, 23 Feb 2026

Circle at Trendlebere Down, Middle Car Park, TQ13 9LT.

Hare: Beefy

 

Weather - Not raining & actually dry! Positively balmy at 12.5 C!!

For starters - everyone found the car park! Always a good start for the Circle.

Present were: Beefy, Pisswell, Psycho, Missing, Woodlend, Tongue & Groove & dog, Piltdown, G'Orgy & Choca, Ernie, Strap-on, Manopause, Wet Johnny, Pocket Rocket, Coldtits, SMEllie, Beeflicker, Melon Picker (Soapy is not well tonight), Well-Hopped, Big End & dog. Total 19. Apologies if I have missed anyone.

 

I missed part of the Circle (fumbling for something in my car) but SMEllie was still looking for Hares for March - please speak to her in the pub after or let her know if you can lay a trail. No Hares, no trail!

Bossy Pisswell volunteered Coldtits to do the words by asking her to show her hand if she was there. Cheeky mare!

 

Over to the Hare, Beefy, who announced Walkers 2.5 miles, Shorts 3.2-3.5 miles, Longs 5.5 miles? Marked in flour. Beware X's on left (not good), X's on right (good). Got that, everyone? Lots of checks, a fish hook, X's and some splits? Beware some "technical bits" later. Plus a Sweety Stop - hurrah! Beefy had also seen 5 or so Deer earlier.

 

From the car park, ON ON across the road into the off-road hinterland. A wide level path brought us to the Fish Hook, first 5 to turn back on themselves and re-join - probably 10 did! Onwards uphill to a section through woodland track, complete with hooting Owls to add to the spooky evening. 

 

Next a split, Walkers straight on, Longs and Shorts to right. Found myself at the back of the Shorts after the hilly bits (I had not run since early Dec due to suffering repeated virus infections), with Pocket Rocket, who was also suffering. His torch had failed, so loaned him my spare, then he decided at the next split to take the Walkers trail and back to car park. I realised then that my Strava had not been recording, so I wasn't sure where I had come from and where I was going. I thought better of pursuing the Shorts as a Walker on my own in the big dark wood, so I eventually set off after Pocket Rocket but never saw him again until the On Down.

 

Somehow found my way to Beefy at the Sweety Stop, next to the Charcoal Seat (see photo) - great selection of sweets, thank you. We were joined by a few other Hashers including Ernie, Strap-On, Missing, SMEllie, Woodlend, Tongue and Groove and dog but where were the Longs? There was an interpretation board for the Charcoal production history but Beefy didn't seem to know what it was all about.

 

After the SS, it was downhill through the woods to a complicated junction of paths and I lost the trail here. Tried left and right and only found X's. Eventually, Ernie and Strap-On arrived and we found the way back up the hill again, where there was a (new?) back-check we hadn't seen earlier? We broadly stuck together (Ernie is such a gent with the ladies, isn't he?) and were joined by Woodlend, Tongue and Groove and dog, who helped check the many checks. 

 

The woodland paths levelled out a bit and we crossed a lovely bridge over the stream (avoiding the flour that had been placed to tempt us into the stream).

 

I think some never found the SS, like SMEllie, who was probably led astray by Pisswell, who shamefully short cut back to the pub. Beefy was not impressed later!

 

Eventually, coming up to 9pm, we all found the welcome On Home and the car park. I'd recorded 1.69 miles from the SS, so it was probably 3 miles or so in total for my Short and Walkers combined trail. SMEllie had got back from the Short 10 minutes earlier than me and was busy in the car catching up on her messages. Probably still trying to find Hares for March!

 

We exited right out of the car park and 2 miles or so down the road, we arrived at the On Down, the welcoming Kestor Inn, car park full, so parked on the roadside. Its always so dark here as no street lighting but the small moon crescent and some stars were shining at last tonight, adding to the misty / mizzlely evening glow. You had to be there to appreciate this on a mild February evening after the wet winter we've had!

 

In the pub, only Beeflicker was tucking into the Chilli, which looked good. Once everyone arrived, Pisswell officiated with the Awards and Beefy generously provided the six Down Down beers and a water, thank you!

 

First award was a 600 runs badge to G'Orgy P'orgy, after an amazing 17 years hashing with TVH3. Next up was a 400 runs badge for SMEllie and a 200 runs badge for Strap-On. All well deserved supporters of TVH3 and Down Downs taken together to a rendition of "Get A Life, Get A Life, Life, Life ...".

 

Then it was time to ambush Pisswell with a birthday award for yesterday with all the right notes in the wrong order. Amazing how she found a birthday hat in her bag of tricks! Always prepared, I'd say.

She had the Jester hat to award and after some "domestic discussion" with Beefy, this went to the Hare, for pulling out all the Hash trail laying tricks of Fish Hook, Ha Ha, X's, checks, back checks, etc., used to make our unique trail tonight plus a SS. Thank you and you did it all on your own, laying some 8 plus miles for our pleasure.

 

For anyone interested, this area is a rare UK temperate rainforest - see Bovey Valley Woods managed by Woodland Trust Wood Group: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/.../bovey-valley-woods/

ON On to next week at The Ten Tors Inn, Exeter Road, Kingsteignton, TQ12 3NP, with Hare, Beeflicker.

TVH WORDS #2115

The Words - Monday 9th February 2026.

Hare – Beeflicker with help from SMellie and Lucy.

Circle / OD – The New Quay, Teignmouth

After yet another wet, miserable February day the pack assembled outside The New Quay beneath an unexpectedly starry sky.

Mostly present at the circle were:

Beeflicker, Coldtitz, Forest Stump, Gorgy P Orgy, Hunk of Beef, Manpig, MissMash, Pisswell, Piltdown Man, Pollyfella, SMellie, Smash, T&G, Wet Fart and Woodlend.

Other attendees:

Missing at the circle but spotted out on the trail, whilst doing the trail in reverse, was Psycho. And at the pub after a ten+ year absence we found Larks Vomit.

At the circle Piltdown announced there were only 6 more dark hashes before the clocks went forward and Smellie asked for hares for March onwards.

Then it was over to the hare who told us that there was a short walker route that would go past a lot of pubs if anyone wanted a pub crawl. The shorts would be about 3 miles and the longs about 4.5 miles. He explained the longs would need to go short when they looped back to the first long / short split following where the one the walkers split from the rest of the pack.

And then we were off. Initially along back beach past The Ship and along to the ferry stop. From there the trail went up and across The Point car park and past the pier. We could hear the waves hitting the sea defences and the Pier creaking (!) as we processed along the sea front to a sweetie stop beside East Cliff Café. Here SMellie was waiting for us with treats to sustain us on the journey ahead.

From the sweetie stop we ran to the steps beside the yacht club and ascended to join the narrow road leading to Eastcliff Park. Here the walkers split. The aim was for the shorts and longs to go to the top of the park. Woodlend, T&G and Pollyfella missed the marking for the shorts/longs and took the lane to the top of the park. From there they headed down the path in the park until they met the rest of the pack who were “on trail” thanks to some hastily added marks by Beeflicker.

The trail looped round the top of the park and then out to the Dawlish Road where we found the long / short split.

The split sent the longs up the hill until they found an arrow sending them right, down a muddy path to Cliff Road. From here the trail returned the longs back down into Eastcliff Park. Arrows in the dark led the longs to the long / short split for the second time meaning now it was time to head down hill on the short trail.

The trail led past the railway station where Pyscho was found by Beefy and Pollyfella. She was going the wrong way round the trail having not been able to find the marks at start of the trail after arriving a bit late.

From here the trail led past St James Church and up through narrow residential streets to the footbridge over Exeter Road.

Then it went along Landscore Road followed by paths leading down to the crossing at Bitton Park Road. Finally it was over the “cage bridge” and down to the back of the docks where the OD marks showed we were nearly at the pub.

The On Down

At the pub we were greeted by the sight of Larks Vomit and his inappropriate hound Cosmo. This was Larks’ first hash for over 10 years and a treat to see an old hash friend.

Beeflicker also revealed that he had been ably assisted in laying the trail earlier in the day by his new friend Lucy who despite never having hashing before had still gamely helped him out despite the relentless rain. Hopefully we can welcome Lucy to the pack in the near future.

Down Downs

T&G for wearing pink knickers one week too early!
Larks Vomit for having a “dirty dog!”
Pisswell for moving her car just a few metres closer to the OD after finishing the trail and also for throwing eggs at Forest over the weekend!
Forest for not following the trail nor looking for it properly!
And Beeflicker who took the water down down for being an excellent hare and laying a fab trail!

So a big thank you to Beeflicker for tonight’s trail. We had lots of variety and lots of fun out there. A great effort given the weather during the day.

Thank you also to his assistants, SMellie for organising the pub and sweetie stop and Lucy for helping to lay the trail.

And incredibly we managed to stay dry!!!
