29 years later.....
July 15th 2013 on warm summer evening we
celebrated our 1500th Trail from Lower Whiddon Farm, some 29 years had passed
since the inaugural run at Dawlish on 29th July 1984 and much preparation had gone into
what turned out to be a very enjoyable evening. Hovel Annie and I had positioned the road
signs, the Souvenir T Shirts were ready, in the farm barn Wigwam and Migman
were preparing the food, the beer from Forrest and the Farm’s own cider selections were ready to sample
and Bobbi Ball plus anonymous helper were checking their trail.
Soon the Pack started to arrive in the parking field, where Joystick and son
Flying Pig
were testing their large remotely controlled helicopter with it’s built in
surveillance camera, enabling all proceedings to be followed and recorded !
Circle called and after Archangel had welcomed our visiting Hashers and a Virgin Hasher,
there was of course an announcement from Rambo about? we then quickly formed up
to mark the occasion with a group photo.
Bobbi’s trail of some 6 miles for the
longs took us through woodland and we seemed to circle several fields with some
testing climbs thrown in! Eventually we were able to revive ourselves on the excellent food cider and
beer.
In the open courtyard there were many DD’s some of which I managed to capture,
One in particular was for Piddler strangely for complaining too much on the
trail ?, although teacher Piddler did get his own back on Wigwam for the
incorrect use of English on the T shirt where No’s should have been Nos. (must
try harder!)
Tim was at last named and after
exposing the large tattoo on his back, he will now be known as Dick Vinci ( see photo’s)
On On to the next landmark Run !
