The trail by Pisswell
Music to 'Fairytale of New York' by the Pogues
It was Abbey Inn, babe Hash at Buckfast.
Old hasher said to me, God, not another one!
But still we circled up,
The Rare Teign Valley crew
I turned my face away
And dreamed what might have been.
========================
I had a lovely one
Steam train of lights had come
But not on Monday nights
So planned another one!
So happy Christmas
The lights of Buckfastleigh
We all heard the party planned
Will Manpigs dreams come true?
======================
They’ve got Kings' and Queens' party
Oh what shall we wear?
But the wind goes right through her
If Cheerios bare!
But back to the hash
On a cold Winters Eve
You promised a Great hash was waiting for me.
==============================
There was sweeties
There’s plenty
Queen of Dartmoor cemetries
When the spirits stopped spooking
They howled out for more
The old church bells swinging
All the hashers were sprinting
Some split in confusion
Then ran home in fright!
=================
The guys of the TVH3 hash
Were running through the night
And they all went rushing back
To get a pint.
============
Midget gum?
Brave the souls
Feel for sweeties in holes
Running there through the dead,
find your way through the graves
The Abbey was after
They all cried with laughter
They were sent through the bollarks
And on with the mass.
================
The guys of the TVH3 hash
Were running through the night
We ran round the Abbey gardens
To see the lights.
============
The Walkers soon were gone
The shorts and longs on on
Onto a split they came
Longs would soon do the same
But first a place was sought
They looked for Hembury fort
Into the woods they ran
Before the same route on home.
=====================
The guys of the TVH3 hash
Were running through the night
Down downs at Abbey Inn
Were all in sight.
=============
The Down-downs as recalled by Man-Pig
U-Bend
was first up to give away the birthday cake hat. This proved to be a
case of mistaken identity. U-Bend couldn't make out who a female FRB
was. Cheerio-Beerio was running next to U-Bend and said, "Oh. I know who
that is. It's Fallen Woman". Fallen Woman FRB'ing? Was it Hell?. It
was Soapy.
Pork
Torpedo was in attendance so it was a 10 toes up and 10 toes down
rendition for Cheerio followed by a glass of water - as she doesn't do
beer!
Next
up was almost a returnee. It was Threesome who had the Baby bat hat
from the Red Rock brewery hash. This was awarded to Ablesemen for
losing her hat on trail. It was caught by an overhanging thorn bush and
left hanging in the air above a rapidly cooling Ablesemen. I can't
remember the down-down song for this one.
We
had run out of awards but there was still almost a pint and a half to
go. Were there any stories? U-Bend was named and shamed by Pork Torpedo
for nervous parking. A ditty about an Aladdin's lamp purchased from a
hasher that. "......hadn't produced f**k all yet!"
Next
there was a story, the substance of which I can't recall. However,
Melonpicker got a down-down accompanied by a variation of the Aladdin's
Lamp song.
Finally, Beefy spilled the beens on Pork Torpedo and Horny.
Either
by design, or by accident, Pork Torpedo and Horny found themselves
back in the pub and enjoying a pint after having only covered 3/4 of a
mile. Short cutting or what?
This time Melonpicker started the down-down song with, "Hold it in your hand Mrs Murphy".
Finally,
finally. No beer left so a pint of water to the Hare for the trail and
a welcome return to an old venue. Unsurprisingly, she didn't want it.
A
couple of Hashers remarked on the good trail and thought positively of
the On-Down. They suggested that it would be good to return here again
in the summer.
Teapot
also reminisced of the time that he had organised a steam train to
take us to Buckfast. We engaged in an egg catching competition before
being returned to a railway junction near the Tally Ho for our canter
back to the pub.
I bet that was over 20 years ago!
Next week
Next week's Hash is at Oxencove car park, Brixham, with Fallen Woman haring assisted by Bobbiball.
This is the annual Christmas themed fancy dress run - no doubt with Christmas carols. There will be a pub stop so BRING CASH as the pub doesn't accept credit cards!
On-On to this Saturday and next Monday.
