Fingle bridge on Teign valley waters
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
Who cheated and walked over the bridge?
Soapy plus the inflatable penis, Melon Picker, Warmfront, Beeflicker with the inflatable toucan, Pocket Rocket, Georgie P’ Orgy, Piltdown man, SMEllie and Coldtits.
The circle: The GM welcomed everyone to hash number 3078 or something. SMEllie and Coldtits asked to go to the loo! And then SMEllie asked for hares for October.
The hare: Pisswell had laid 3trails L5,S3.5,W2m, laid both sides of the river.
The hare had requested swim/running wear and inflatables and head torches as it would be dark under the trees. She was planning fairy lights and a sweetie stop. There would be a river crossing for all, made easier to cross by placing a washing line to dry Pisswells wet socks!
No pubs open so down downs on the hare and BYO picnic
Verse 1 -see music for tune of Bridge over troubled waters!
When you're weary
Of my trails
When they are all too far,
A new plan can’t fail!
Swim on the side
Oh, when trails get tough
And marks just can't be found
[Chorus]
Fingle bridge on Teign valleys waters
There we’ll drink down downs
But the pubs they are closed to taunt us
We can’t buy a round!
[Verse 2]
Small lanes driving there
Did you cross the bridge?
You’re going up the Teign
Longs up on the ridge
Beneath Drogo
Sharp, then Hunters tor
A view you can die for!
[Chorus]
Fingle bridge on Teign valleys waters
I was swimming there
Eating sweets and inflatables too
Tou-can ride the weir!
[Verse 3]
Shine on, twinkly lights,
torches on
Your time has come to shine
On bats, we came upon
See now it’s cold
Oh, we need to change
The picnic for Drewe arms!
[Chorus]
Fingle bridge on Teign valleys waters
River bank won’t do
Gate crash pub , so that Kirton hashers
Share their on down too!
Out takes:
Well done those who braved the long journey! For those who were daunted, it is not in fact in Scotland but it is equally as beautiful.
Well done the river crossers. Thank you to Beeflicker for bringing Pisswells washing in.
Well done the swimmers who rode the rapids on inflatable animals in the dodgy dark water, with bats entangled in their hair!
Well done the inflatables for staying firm enough to hold throughout!
What actually happened en route?
The longs gate crashed Kirton H3 Sweety stop and ran along side their trail up by Drogo. Therefore, we decided we could also share their on downs, at the Drewe arms. The pub had refused us as they were closed on Mondays, but had opened especially for them! So we ate our picnics and cucumber sandwiches and Pocket ate his own body weight in chicken korma roll!
Down downs:
Thank you to Kirton hash for giving us somewhere warm to go
Thank you to the hare and Coldtits for providing the beer.
Down downs …
…to the hare for a shitty trail
Coldtits awarded the helicopter hat to Soapy for bringing her enormous inflatable penis!
…to Beeflicker for riding the waves and weir on his inflatable Toucan.
…To Warmfront for rushing of when her GM was hanging by just a handhold off the View point at Hunters tor!
…to Pocket Rocket for attempting the long and surviving the above ordeal, and for eating his own body weight in his picnic hamper!
…to Coldtits for being unable to navigate her boat down through the river Teign using just Strava
…to Melon Picker for looking after Soapy’s inflatable and never feeling deflated despite the other walkers going off and leaving him!
Thanks for coming GP and PDM
…to Smellie for battery failure and relying on Coldtits other battery operated item!
Think I might have made a bit up but that was the gist of it! Although we were exhausted and tiny by the end (only eight), we had had a great time and a lot of laughter and fun. Thanks guys x
