(59)
Lovely
Lauren, the Rowcroft rep, had many a heart a fluttering at the circle,
including the GM who declared that he was in love - but weren't we all?
A mini Rowcroft pep talk was delivered, culminating in the presentation
of the monies raised at our Red Dress extravaganza the previous week
from the admirable Park Inn. On behalf of Migman's family, Wigwam
unfurled the scroll bearing the legend 'Teign Valley H3 have raised an
amazing £291.47 in memory of hasher Migman' - a touching moment greeted
with deserved applause.
The
GM continues his development, a Superman cape (believed to be courtesy
of Libby) added to his Staff of Moses. We await, with some trepidation,
further accoutrements to his garb - perhaps a crown to set it all off
nicely? Teign Valley continues to live up to its original mantra of The
Party Hash.
Triple Jump, still on a roll (Libby and Linda), enlisted Jacky to the merry throng,
Nice to see Rearender back again, nearly a regular with two visits in the past year.
G-string
still inseparable from Pepper (think that was the name) the pup,
Fukarwi unknowingly wearing a natty purple Rowcroft tee shirt, Zorro
(AH3 mover) and Twinkletoes, Wet Wipe from Land Ho (think about it),
Hagen Daz and soon to be named Harry back from a few week's absence and
also Rent Boy from afar were some that caught the eye.
Hare
Wet Johnny revealed the agenda as being 2 L/S splits with the
well-attended walkers' trail of about 2 and 1/2 miles; the short about
four and the first long at six but also an extra road long for the
warriors augmented with a SS along the way. With the rider that cards
were good to go in the bar and hash grub at £2.50 in the pot, the show
got on the road.
Loathe
as I am to use the term, the trail was indeed something of an epic with
a nigh on mighty nine miler recorded by our stalwarts.
Yes, it proved to be a runners' trail set by hardy hares who know what the FRBs like and they were not disappointed.
A walkers' lament was the absence of a SS, though the longs were in need of calories to sustain them on their journey.
Manpig
narrowly avoided a DD from Beefy for knowing where the trail was going
most of the time which was most helpful for running buddies Zorro,
Fukarwi and BB. Climbing above the Bickley Mill, Manpig was all for
careering past the SS sited higher up the meadow giving rise to an
accusation of the trio being SCBs. Oh deary me, that'll never do, Beefy -
completely unintended we assure you.
Horsey
Horseface was given a canter and was omnipresent throughout the run as
revealed by Beefy's photologue - happy days for Horsey.
Shamefacedly,
I have to hold my hand up to only being able to complete the 'short'
six mile long, a combination of factors preventing the completion of the
naughty nine: Heart rate unsustainable, dodgy right knee, knowing that
the beer was near, being but three reasons to abort to the bar.
Made
of sterner stuff, Manpig and Fukarwi pushed on in the long gone
footsteps of Beefy, Runner Bean, Ollie and Plonker. Well done lads, I'll
be back with you soon. How soon? Very soon.
It
was packed to the rafters back in the clubhouse with Clive and Dave
dispensing (very reasonably priced) bottled beers from the cabinet,
Hobgoblin and London Pride proving the most sought after tipples. Wet
Johnny and Erection were scurrying around, preparing the food and all
was well with the hashing world.
WINFIELD'S WISDOM AND AWARDS
Trail 1805 on Mon 29th from Ipplepen Football Club with Hares Wet Johnny & Erection,.who had laid a long ( for some) testing ! trail out along the lanes fields and hills! around Ipplepen.

WET JOHNNY for THAT trail !
WIGWAM (Hashit shirt) who managed to delete all of his phone contacts?
Zoot (Ceremonial Bat Hat) for her "Nice Pants"comment to Only Here in the car park.
U-BEND (Horsey Horseface Hat) who called Beefy " Dear!"
HARRY who is now forever to be known as BUDGIE SMUGGLER
Well done all for a great evening!
Perhaps
the Days are Going Down in the West as I sat alone at the bar when all
but Wet Johnny and Erection remained doing the washing up.
As I close, please singalong with me my hashers' lament. I think you know the song:
How many hashes can I finally run
Before I cash in my chips?
How many streams must a blue bird cross
Before he takes his last dip?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a bat take to wing
Before it flutters to the ground?
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind..
Before I cash in my chips?
How many streams must a blue bird cross
Before he takes his last dip?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a bat take to wing
Before it flutters to the ground?
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind..
Lovely evening hares - that's all he wrote.
ON ON to next week and The Red Rock Brewery Bishopsteignton TQ13 9RG ( Shitfaced & Only Here /Beer)
