Hash trail 1678 from the Old Church House Inn Torbryan, reputed to be
the oldest Free house in England where a good sized pack gathered for
Mouldy Dicks trail.
At the Circle it was my pleasure to welcome
virgin Harriet “Sam” to her first and hopefully not last trail as
Mouldy had devised a varied and some will say confusing route for us
Longs Med, Shorts and Walkers, starting almost off road and over fields
followed by road with two of those dreaded “fish-hooks” on-on to a Sweet Stop where we searched successfully for the hidden goodies.
The first split at Broadhempston led yours truly on the Short (
recovering from all that rum) over fields with WIGWAM and SMELLIE
another Split where SMELLIE must have chosen Long which she probably
regretted later after ending up in Ipplepen. WIGWAM and I headed on into
a farmers favourite electrically fenced field where we searched but
could not find the bridge that used to be there somewhere, so took a
Greg Rutherford long jump run at the stream and to the cheers from the
crowd? just made the 4foot distance!
Finding the field exit gate
was easy but having grasped it was very ss-shocked! to find it wired up
to the electric fencing! Eventually after ducking under the live fencing
again we found our way up and over hill to the safety of the pub.
After reviving ourselves it was time the offenders to have their Down
Down awards first one to TEAPOT for losing his horn, but “NOT here for
the BEER” had found it?
Next from SMELLIE to MOULDY DICK lack of marks leading a whole group astray.
A DD and birthday song in traditional style to WET JONNY.
Finally to well named SATNAV who sent new Harriet SAM to a pub in Broadhempston,
NEXT WEEK will SATNAV find her way to Hembury Wood and will TEAPOT find his trainers??
Well done MOULDY for an excellent evening.
On to Mon 20th: at Hembury Wood, OD Abbey Inn, Buckfast, Hare: Wigwam
ON ON
