HALLOWEEN !

#1663 Mon 31st Oct.was the HALLOWEEN HASH TRAIL from the Route 5 Diner, Haldon Hill with a good turnout of our Hashers fully dressed for a scary run, good to see visitors DIAMOND GEEZER, ALL the WAY and PEACHES also with us. The Hares BOGGY, RAMBO and DORIS had laid a devious trail through the forest with many checks and false trails which kept RAMBO busy reshaping for future use possibly tomorrow! We searched our way up and down tracks, leaping over fallen branches, through water filled ditches on the well marked trail before reaching tarmac. Surely Shirley RAMBO had not transformed into a road runner on this spooky night? At a much needed Sweet Stop, after running in heavy costumes, BOGGY was a scary but welcomed sight holding a large selection of sweets. On-On again crunching through leaves scrambling up banks including a long good paced run to keep the FRB's in trim, we finally arrived after nearly 5 miles back at the Diner.
A fast downhill drive from here brought us into Chudleigh where inside the Bishop Lacey there was a welcoming choice of excellent beers some sampled by PIDDLER before buying! The Fish & Chips were just about consumed before WIDE RECEIVER conducted the Down-Downs, awarded to the following offenders:-
TINY TANKS for making a marriage proposal to BOGGY for suddenly appearing with all of those delicious sweets.
DORIS (one of our longest serving Hashers) for calling PARAPRICK...POWERPRICK which I think he liked better!
ARCHANGEL for ....not getting his mouth around it?
PIDDLER for his Birthday was it 64th 74th....higher or lower ??
ZOOT for lost property from last week (well she did and does have to cope with poor HOTLIPS!)
A great trail and evening well done RAMBO, BOGGY and DORIS
On On
