BIODEGRADABLE DOGGY DO
Hare : Wet Johnny............Wet Johnny..........Wet Johnny
At the Circle------- Another political question was unanswered so the fall back of Who's the head of the Army was nearly guessed by Slip On Me. It isn't the Queen!? No. General Sir Nick Carter apparently.
The late arriving hare threatened us with a 6 miler or 3 long short splits of a mile each. I like several others preferred the thought of 3 miles. He sent us off in the direction of Bridgtown.
I don't remember hearing a sweetie stop mentioned so that's why I didn't steel myself to complete the full trail.
On the Trail...... Of Course Wigwam led the pack over Totnes Bridge before being overtaken by athletes at the turn to Steamer Quay. The trail took us down to the end of Long Marsh. Georgy Porgy was “seen” here polluting theDart with a biodegradable doggy doo, allegedly. We passed the old Rifle range and then returned back “on long”, through the shiggy, to the entrance to the new estate. The trail took us up over the hills and lanes to the top of Bridgetown. Appearing in front of the front running pair of Fuckawe and Bluebird came U-Bend after a crafty short cut. His protest that all was fair in hashing met derision from the hard running duo and resulted in a punishment Down-down. Some chose the easy 'back down the hill to the pub' route whilst a hardy few followed the trail and discovered the Sweetie stop.
In the pub.........A time lapse photography experiment was in full flow. SatNav busily collected and recorded paid subs whilst Bobbiball looked on in confusion. ManPig tried desperately to pay his subs, completely forgetting he had paid the previous week (Down-down awarded) and Wet Johnny.....Wet Johnny.....Wet Johnny received a well deserved Down-down for a top trail. Georgy was punished Kangaroo Court style for her alledged misdemeanor. The TVH Choir were practicing their latest variation on the Wet Johnny Acapela. Wigwam, (on a short sabatical for Football supporting duties) was quickly and eagerly replaced by ManPig and Bluebird (always game for a song).
A fine Hash Menu laid on by the very welcoming Landlord was enjoyed by many.

On-on to next week
