A Howling good night...

On run No 1627 Mon 22nd we were at the Kennick Dam, between Kennick and Tottiford Reservoirs a great joint turnout with TVH3 the Devon Lunatics and Kirton H3, on another muddy but testing trail laid by Deep Semen, Forrest Stump, Forrest Hump, Bogof & Mint. Each one apparently laid their own section, so not sure who to hold responsible! but it turned out to be a great trail with marks clearly designed to bring back those FRB's at every opportunity! as we wound our way through the forest's up and down around those reservoirs, with a bright full moon making its odd appearance and every “On-On” greeted instead by increasingly load wolf howls from the pack which really should have been Baaa's as in one place we all followed the FRB's down an unmarked route! Eventually we regrouped at a good drinks and sweet stop by Tottiford before the final L/S split, here with my calf telling me it had had enough of this! I along with Wet Johnnie also in a similar state, headed back to the Dam to find two Kirton Hashes there who didn’t find the trail, one of whom was later revealed as their long serving “On Sec”. Eventually back down at Christow in a steadily overfilling Artichoke the landlord had laid on a good spread for us followed by many DD's with Rambo in charge, the ones that I was able to remember them going to were :-
GRIM:- for being late as usual
ZORRO:- almost falling in the reservoir
MOULDY DICK:- a pathetic call nothing like a wolf!
FORREST HUMP :- all trail errors blamed on her!
WET JOHNIE:- having problems with the arrow marks!
DEEP SEMEN & MINT a Wellie DD for all that mud.
A great evening well done to all the Hares.
On-On to next week its a Leap Year Hash at Mamhead Obelisk Car Park (SX920807) OD the Bishop Lacey, Chudleigh, Hare:- Damp Patch            Winfield
