Circle up.

With a great turnout on this lovely sunny evening, all waiting to find out what Smash had planned for us all and she didn't disappoint, arriving on the dot. The GM called for all to gather round and listen in. After welcoming everyone to hash number whatever it was, he asked for any notices.

 

* S.M. Ellie asked for locations from the hares already booked in.

* Pisswell reminded everyone which car park to be in next week (I still haven't a clue, i'll just close my eyes and try pot luck and hope I get it right) also to not leave anything valuable in view in your car due to a spate of break-ins,

* Manpig asked for a volunteer to do the words, well volunteered Able!!

No more notices so over to the hare,

 

Smash explained that it's laid in flour, with arrows pointing in all directions, now to pay attention as the walkers is a live trail so stay with her or you will get lost (I'm sure people still got lost). The walkers will be an A2B or A2B2A, it's your choice. Everyone chose A2B because of the pesky hills. The shorts was about 4ish and longs about 6ish ( it was almost 9.5, re planning was needed). Most importantly, there was a sweetie and drink stop for all to partake (unless you got lost, and if you did, you surely missed out as what a fantastic one it was).

 

The trail,

Walkers.... after leaving the pub (these youngsters had to be dragged away from it really) they turned left and then right down Clennon Lane and all the way down to Fore Street and turned right.

 

At the end of Fore Street they crossed the road and onto Hartop Road and then bore left into Petitor Rd.

At the roundabout it was another right into St Marychurch Road (so many rights I don't know how people went wrong) and down to Babbacombe model village car park and then headed down Cliffside Road onto the coastal path which was followed all the way to Oddicombe beach for the sweetie stop. 

 

This was the end for the walkers where they would either get a lift back or do the trail in reverse.

Longs and Shorts.... after falling out the pub we headed left along Isaacs Road bearing left and then right to Church Road with Pocket Rocket leading the pack (I've never seen him move so fast) followed by Poacher, Beefy, Wet Johnny and Beeflicker.

 

A long slog down Moor Lane and through the park to the Teignmouth road where we turned right and then left into the fields.

 

Pocket rocket was on fire and still out front, maybe he heard there were animals in the field (explained at the down downs). in the field and doubling back on ourselves, we came to a L/S split. The Rocket went right and short and wasn't to be seen again until the pub!

 

Poacher, Beefy, Wet J and Beeflicker went left and long. The trail took us up the hill, around the fields and out to the golf course where we turned left and headed to the coastal path.

 

Down the steep hill and to the right, we headed along the coastal path until we reached the check at Petitor Road.Beefy checked the false trail and was not sighted again and Poacher checked Petitor Road, he had it right but lost his voice as no on ons were called and he too, was never to be seen again.

Manpig had caught up.and called 'on back' to Beefy but to no avail, (had Beefy fallen off the path into the sea and floated to France?). I guess we will find out at the pub. Wet J, the Pig and Beeflicker pushed on down Petitor Road and veered left at the end down St Marychurch Road to the model village car park where they zig-zagged back to the coastal path, following it to the Babbacombe tram thingymajig where we came across a lost and baffled Able Seamen and Slip on Me. They could smell the sweetie stop but couldn't find it. They were duly rescued and escorted to Oddicombe beach for their well-deserved rewards.

 

At the sweetie stop, hosted by Smash and Miss Mash, a couple of harriets in the form of Threesum and Mane Attraction, were sat with feet up, in the sun, beer in one hand and snacks in the other, that's the life to live, you lucky ladies.

 

After the sweetie stop, the trail headed along by the sea on the coastal path and up the steps following the pathway back to Oddicombe beach hill (this section was either virgin territory or not used since 1805 when Bluebird last used it).

 

Then we went along Cliffside Road to the village car park and millenium gardens before following the walkers route back to the pub.

 

An amazing trail, Smash, and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
