At our circle a welcome from GM PILTDOWN MAN to several visiting Hashers before we set off on WJ's trail a 7+ miler or less if you wanted, starting with a Long / Walk and Short trail split, which left WET FART very uneasy as the thought of possibly being drawn into going Long had made his knees weak! Off around the village we ran turning at Denbury Cross then at Dornafield Cross before coming back through the village and out to the roadworks on the Totnes Rd. I had felt that I would have good problem free run in me tonight, until after entering the first field my headtorch packed up leaving me to trying to find the way out until The Hash “International Rescue” arrived in the shape of WORM WOOD, who kindly with his super bright torch offered to guide me along the trail explaining several times along our way his ideas for possible on trail emergency situations, which apart from his first aid kit, included Radios, Phones, Flares (to mark locations for possible helicopter assistance) and a collapsible stretcher! This all sounded very useful to me as I had probably needed all of them at one time or other. We were now making our way up the very narrow Wrigwell Lane where there were no marks visible, this reminded of last weeks trail where a group who refused to go back ended up in Kingsteignton....but there ahead was WET JOHNNY himself! relaxing in a “Master Mind” chair, not sure about his specialist subject was but he was clutching sweets and flour! Leaving the chair behind we headed on along with DORIS and on downhill on a treacherous trail to Combe Fishacre. Then with WJ now guiding us on Short on his bike we made our way steadily back into Ipplepen, while the Long had turned there towards Totnes!
The sausage and chips, kindly supplied with our honesty pot, by very helpful landlord had nearly all gone and I was just about able to buy a drink before the DD's commenced with the first one going to WIGWAM for his chicken impression, his ruffled hair then did remind me of its comb points.
WIDE RECEIVER running fast back and forth at checks but still but “wide of the mark”!
GEORGY P ORGY should have been next for almost breaking the road works tape in a “Chariots of Fire” finishing moment but passed it on to …
WINFIELD for yet another torch failure this week!
RONNY unnamed virgin Hasher, who's birthday was celebrated in traditional Hash style.
Well done to Wet Johnny for a great evening, you can go and get that chair back now!
On to next week at the Dartmouth Inn Totnes, Hares:- Zen & SM Ellie
