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.

Run #2104 Eastcliff car park, Teignmouth

TVH The Words

Run #2104 Eastcliff car park, Teignmouth
OD The Crafty Badger
Hares: Piltdown and Georgy
 
Who wuz there (with thanks to MP)
Piltdown Man, Georgie Porgy, Pocket Rocket, Man-Pig, Beefy, Smellie, Coldtits, Beeflicker, Missing, Tongue & Groove, Smash, Miss Mash, Wet Johnny, Judge Mental, Roger the Dodger, Big End, Well Hopped, Melon Picker, Soapy, Strap-On, Deep Semen, Flowery Twats, Wetfart & Bobbiball
On a chilly november night, the hashers arrived at the car park and stood in a circle shivering in the cold, Tongue and Groove decided to form her own circle as her pup was sat frozen to the ground and wouldn't move.
The GM asked for silence but his chilling voice went unheard, a bit like Rose's at the end of the Titanic movie.
After everyone was welcomed, notices were asked for, Beeflicker asked for volunteers to be a santa and a train conductor at his grotto, to no avail.
Eventually, after being prompted, Man Pig asked for a volunteer for the words, and here we are.
Big End asked for food numbers for next week's hash. As we were almost like icicles 🥶, thankfully, the hare stepped in, 3 miles for the walkers, 4 for the shorts and 5 for the longs, followed by the co hares offer of a longer walk, or a shorter short with a longer short and an even longer walk and also a short long ending with a short short walkers, now we were all confused so 3 and on, that way....
We left the car park at the rear and headed into Eastcliff gardens, lots of checks and lack of flour kept everyone together from all 647263 routes we had laid for us. Upon exiting the park and going through back alleys, we came to Teignmouth road and crossed over, onto Alta Vista close, eventually turning right onto Oak Hill crossroads with Judgemental opting to turning right into someone's drive, 🫣 this was the way from the the 40th anniversary hash.
At the check at the crossroads of Holcombe road, Beeflicker checked up hill with no marks to be found. Pursued by Manpig, Beefy went right finding lots of marks which Judgemental had stated were not there - time to go to specsavers my friend 🤣🤣
A nice down hill past the Castle Inn to Hall Lane where we turned left and headed back to the Teignmouth road, crossing over and down Smugglers lane, and onto the SW coast path sea wall for a lovely run back to Teignmouth. Here we did a sharp right onto East cliff walk and on home to the car park.
I'm not sure where the shorts and walkers went but they did a lot of the long route enjoying the same wanders and wonders of the longs.
On to the Badger pub, or Beaver pub, I can't remember.
Downdowns were awarded to:
Piltdown man for promising 5 mile longs and delivering that to the dot and for blaming Georgie Porgy for not laying the false trails.
Roger the Dodger for ignoring all marks and doing their own trail after going wrong due to star gazing.
And to Judgemental for many misdemeanours which he hoped to evade.
A superb trail enjoyed by all, thank you.
On on to Cockhaven Arms in Bishopsteignton
Beeflicker
