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.
