We met at Dawlish warren carpark for run #2135 courtesy of Pollyfella.
I
was running a bit late but luckily the circle was still putting the
world to rights, or should I say beer to rights! Unanimous votes re down
downs and onto other business!
A great turn out tonight, rough head count of 20 hashers- sorry you'll have to ask Piltdown for actual names and numbers!
Another reminder that Nash Hash August 2027 registration opens on 13th July, it will sell out so get in there quick.
A
little miss calculation from Pollyfella, saying the route had to be
altered as the sea wasnt playing ball and had washed some of the marks
away, the high tide will do that! So, an emergency plan had been put
into action to save us all from a swim hash.
Onon
and we left the carpark, only to realise most had run up the road and
the first mark was yet to be laid and it was on left. Baaaaaa! Springs
to mind, ive had enough sheep in my day already! Of course, my dog wants
a quick poo stop so almost tripped up a few hashers- sorry, but quickly
bagged up and on we go, Soapy kindly swinging the bag until the next
bin.
Through
the car park and along the seas edge, the sea was infact
high-Pollyfella was right. A friendly chap fishing said hello but not
persuaded to join us, neither could a runner who was doing his own thing
to be told he was going the wrong way and join us! To no avail, we
didnt get any new members.
A
train went past so of course I gleefully waved like I was in the
railway children, only to realise the train was empty. Never mind.
OnOn to the view point, with a fun scramble up the sandy rugged bank.
Great views from the top, tempted to hold the dog up like a scene from
Lion King but thought better of it and hung on tight to her collar!
Once
turning on our tails to return down the hill we were met by the walkers
trying to get up, then a bit more of a traffic jam as a young hasher
stopped to tie his shoes.
Carrying
on along the sea front, lovely views and a cooling breeze with lots of
seagulls! Through the sand dunes and onto the beach for a bit. Sadly, as
I had the dog at the walkers/shorts split I couldn't go any further, so
we retreated and continued on the walkers trail, nice still to enjoy
the evening primrose flowers and grasses that looked like cute bunnies
tails. As a nature reserve kept my eye out for birds and bugs, does the
lesser spotted Bobby Ball count?!
Once
nearly back all my running had made me hungry so decided to stop for
fish and chips seeing as the others were still on trail. So took these
to eat hidden against a beach hut with the dog and Soapy fending of the
hungry seagulls! I did laugh as we were heading back to see the
exhausted hashers making their way back when I was full of chips! I did
get my Merlin bird App out on the way back as the restaurants were
playing bird noise, turns out it was kestrel sounds, im guessing to
scare off the seagulls-it clearly doesnt work. Its a great App and free
to download, I encourage you to do it.
Back
to the car and for me I was heading off, but from looking at the photos
many went to the pub and down downs awarded to of course the hare Pollyfella for a great trail- we wont mention the tides!
Archangel for, im not sure what, was he frolicking in the sand dunes?!Never let facts get in the way of a good story they say.
Bobbyball the twitcher got one was he looking for Boobies?!
Beeflicker for picking flowers for Harriets, and lastly
Melon Picker for missing the turning on the way to the hash and going the scenic route given the hash shit shirt.
Thanks everyone for a nice evening. OnOn to Beeflickers trail next week.
OnOn Palmolive.
