A WARM WELCOME FROM TVH3

Welcome to the Teign Valley Hash House Harriers of glorious South Devon. You are guaranteed a warm welcome and a great hash experience. We are the 'Party Hash' and we run from pubs all over Torbay, Dartmoor and the Teign Valley every Monday evening at 7.15pm. Our trails are marked with flour, chalk or sawdust and take in woodland, streams, byways, bridle paths and rolling countryside. We cater for all abilities, you needn't worry about keeping up, a leisurely walk with others or a good paced run if you're fit - you choose. The run duration is anything from 30 minutes to an hour and the distance is normally between 3-6 miles depending on whether you decide to take a short or long trail. Your first run is free, so come along and give it a go! After the run hashers enjoy a drink and food in the pub. On many occasions, the pub will lay on a 'Hash Menu', food specially for hashers.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST HASH

Starts soon after 7:15 pm each Monday.
The Grandmaster will gather the hash together in a circle and welcome Virgins & Visitors to TVH3 and inform the group of pertinent news or upcoming events.
Hares will announce details or the trail, number of long and short splits and regroups.

Down-Downs - sometimes at the circle but usually in the pub after the run. Hashers and harriets (lady hashers) have a half pint and under age hashers have a soft drink or water. If you are driving, just ask the RA for water.

A Down-Down is a means of punishing, rewarding, or merely recognizing an individual for any action or behaviour. Once awarded, the downdown must be drunk without pause, otherwise the RA may take action!

Individuals may be recognized for outstanding service, or for their status as a visitor or newcomer.

Down-Downs also serve as punishment for misdemeanours real, imagined, or blatantly made up.

Such transgressions may include: wearing new shoes, pointing with a finger, or the use of real names rather than hash names.

Hash Names

The use of real names (nerd name) during an event is discouraged, and members are typically given a new "hash name," usually in deference to a particularly notorious escapade, a personality trait, or their physical appearance.

Members are named after attending the hash on several occasions or if something noteworthy occurs to prompt a naming.

Other hashers may share stories or observations about the individual, with the final name being chosen by general consensus from all suggestions put forward by the hash.

NEWCOMERS TO THE HASH
Completely new to hashing? Don't know what to expect? Worried, shy or nervous? You needn't be as all newcomers or virgins as they are known, will receive a warm welcome. When the hashers are called to make a circle - about 7:15 pm each Monday, the Grand Master will welcome all hashers and after various notices about forthcoming events etc are dealt with, he will ask if there are any visitors from other hashes or virgins present. You will be asked to come forward and be introduced to the hash. A tip to remember, don't wear new trainers as these are frowned upon by the RA (Religious Advisor) and will incur a sprinkling of flour over them. That's all there is to it and you can then step back and enjoy the run and the social get together after in the On Down (the pub). Whatever your pace, there are certain to be others who will keep you company along the trail. Walk, jog or run - it's up to you.
Hashing is all about making friends and having fun, so just turn up any Monday and have a go.

DEBRIEFING NOTES

Run #2086
Monday 21st July
Coleton camp 1939:

Who was there:
Going on the TAB (tactical advance to battle) General Pocket Rocket, RSM Piltdown Tan, Sgt threesum, pvts georgie porgie, strap dancer and specialist lara "s.m.ellie croft

The drop SHORTS pvts cheerio beerio, strap on, coldtits and reinforcement cheerios friend

The LONG rangers were tpr beeflicker and commandos warm front, psycho, man pig, beefy, pisswell

The mission:
Rsm piltdown man barked his orders for everyone to get on parade so general pocket rocket could issue us with a briefing where he welcomed reinforcement cheerio beerios friend, and then it was over to tpr beeflicker to give the soldiers their missions, which were to follow the walkers of 3 miles, shorts of 4 and the longs, well, we didn't know but as they are SF TL they must handle anything the enemy throws at them.
In this case, it was beeflicker and lots of flour, hills and yet more hills,

The mission:
The walkers would TAB out of the car park and down a country lane. They would engage any enemy they came upon at Brownstone car park before stealthily advancing down a windy road to the battery to RV with everyone before heading back to be debriefed.
They were never to be seen again, we can only assume they were MIA or KIA.
Meanwhile, the drop SHORTS went to the south side of the car park and took the right flank navigating some fields and fighting off the enemy sheep until they reached the coastal path. They then headed right and kept the sea to their left until they got to the RV.
On this section, we saw strap-on smashing the hills while coldtits was taking reconnaissance photos to take back to HQ and cheerio and cheerio 2 who.were fighting along looking ready to kill (probably the hare for all the hills). After the RV, the dropshot then headed back along the walkers route to go back to base for a debrief and beers. There were also many MIA or KIA here too as only cold tits and pocket rocket made it back alive.

The LONG rangers took the left flank also fighting off enemy sheep with psycho killing them off with her witty puns. beefy,
Beeflicker, warm front, man pig and pisswell , on arrival at the coastal path, flanked right and fought life and death through the killer hills taking the high ground, and the low ground, and then the high, and low and more high, oh yes, this seemed to be a regular occurence, but they smashed it, putting the SAS to shame.
 
At the RV, which has now been confirmed as brownstone battery, a search and rescue mission was sent out to retrieve coldtits from the enemy, which turned out to be multiple photo taking opportunities so rescue was cancelled.
 
A medivac was almost called for a very pale.looking beefy - white as a ghost, had he died on trail? No, this was his newly found yearly white vest.
 
Once the battery had been secured, the long rangers then flanked left through the Kingswear rainforest, tackling mountains, steps, sheep, rocks and a flooded rocky path all the way to the country lane where they headed right and back to base. 
 
Everyone made it back, the mission was completed, the battery was secure, and the route cleared of any danger.

Back at Base, everyone gathered round to receive their medals but as we were lacking any, beers had to take their place. 
 
These were distributed from beeflicker's field bar which was manned, or should we say womanned by the queen of all barmaids, looking glamorous as always, camos looking crisp, war paint on her lips, yes, it's our one and only lara "s.m.ellie" croft.
 
Everyone received a down down for surviving the evening. Now I can't remember what they were all for but there was a downdown for an amazing trail by beeflicker, killer singing by pisswell, s.m.ellie for her pristine turnout and looking good, psycho for her murderous jokes, coldtits for getting lost, beefy for his natural white vest, manpig, pocket rocket and warmfront, well, because they deserved one too.
On on tpr beeflicker

 
Over and out, dismissed.
