Mon 26th September Trail #1658 at The Wellington Inn, Ipplepen for Hare WET JOHNNY'S trail
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
ON ON
