OD :- Orestone Manor, Maidencombe, Torquay
Hares :- Bobbiball & Wigwam
Bobbiball and Wigwam recounted a simple tail of 3 L/S splits, and made excuses for any t rail which might have been washed out by the rain. A guided walkers route (by Bobbiball) and guesstimated routes of 3 or 5 miles dependant on each hashers choices were announced.der whatever protective overhang they could find. They didn't expect that.
Miraculously the shower quickly passed in time for the circle-up. Satnav responded quickest with her knowledge of the Johnson family at question time and won herself a pint.
Unexpectedly our advertised hare Bluebird was unfortunately unable to lay due to his filial responsibilities and the Torbay version of Batman and Robin stepped in to save the day. There was a mixed reaction to there being no fire hash this year.
A virgin hasher by the name of Will introduced by Smellie was welcomed.

Into the now drying and starlit night they ambled. First downhill to the Sladnor Park fields where it was impossible to avoid damp feet in the freshly drenched grass. Many missed the arrow directing them through the hedge, and continued on down the field. Those that discovered it found a more typical Bluebird style obstacle. Through a hole in a fence and scratched by brambles and barbed wire they then struggled up a very slippery slope assisted by Piltdown and Wigwam, emerging back on the Teignmouth Road. They probably expected something like that.
We headed past Brunel Lodge to the first L/S. The shorts and walkers sought out the rain depleted trail down past the Brunel Totem carvings whilst the longs took a more circular route via Seymour Drive and into Brunel Woods from the west.
At Moor Lane some of the shorts mutinied, led by Teapot and Wetfart, and chose the dangerously narrow Teignmouth Road over the Watcombe Beach Road and the sweetie stop in the Valley of Rocks.
Wide Receiver led an errant group including the Ipplepen massif, SMEllie and GD with Piddler in pursuit across Steps Cross Field and on down the road toward St Marychurch. They were called back and rerouted up the King George V playing fields and past the Scout Campsite onto the Coastal Path. Most found there way easily to join the shorts at the sweetie stop.
The last L/S was above the Valley of Rocks and led the adventurous down and around the coastal path to come out below the Thatched Tavern and eventually back up the tortuous Rock House Hill.
Down-Downs preceded the service of delicious Lasagna, garlic bread and salad. So good they ate it twice.
FALLEN WOMAN after a bed incident?? discovered Broken Man on floor with a cracked rib!!
ERECTION only just recovered after " The Brewery Tour," but can he face another beer ??
SLASHER not sure why she was named that!but she did disappear into the bushes!
Virgin Hasher Will is welcomed to the Hash with the first of possibly many DD's!
Another great hash evening.
Don't forget to buy your Christmas Party tickets for 8th December, Fish and Chip tickets for 10th December and draw tickets for 17th December.
On-On
