Hare: Shitfaced.

 

"CJ?CJ!"

 

"Ah, there you are. Bring my writing slippers would you, please?"

"No, I said 'writing', not 'fighting'."

"No, no, those are for Elevenses and Tiffin."

"Yes, those. Now I can begin."

 

Dear Sir,

Regarding the return you made,

To the business of Hash and the Trail you laid:

It's been too long since we've seen you out,

(Do you blame work or, a touch of gout?)

Your venue was amended but, the Hash was unaffected,

Your co-hare had intended but, then went undetected,

The Park Inn we befriended 'cause the is Hare well-connected.

 

Announcements:

Our Hare the credit will claim

For thirty one fools in the frame,

Returnees and guest,

GM did his best

but, he couldn't remember their name.

If bar-b and disco's your thing,

to Teignmouth your tent you can bring

A rugby club bash,

For not too much cash,

And go home with your head in a sling.

Christow show run had a mention,

So if fitness is more your intention

Forrest would so

Love to see you all go

Round a course of his sole invention.

I'd like to confess that I had a real fear

That a worthy trail would fail to appear when you said that there were three

And what the distance would be

The sorrow that I felt was quite sincere.

A run round 'Kerswell lanes is just the ticket.

No marks on those false trails? That's just not cricket.

We revelled in the drama

Of the sunset panorama

But a lesser man would tell you where to stick it!

Counting pubs that we passed or went near?

On this subject we weren't really clear.

Whilst out on the Long

Two of us went wrong

And missed out the Linney. Oh dear!

By Harry, this cannot be right!

A long split, the pub almost in sight?

This could really get one's goat

There should be beer going down the throat

No, we're subject of his sleight.

There's one thing we'd like you to know:

You put on a jolly good show.

It's so easy-going

With food, and beer flowing

Say those of us named just below.

 

Yours faithfully and cetera and so forth

For those who are interested, the Trail went something like this:

 

Out of the pub car park and right onto School Road. Check right to Dobbin Arch, over the railway and left onto Church End Road. Past the church and right to Foredown Lane. Check left up Maddacombe Road, over the South Devon Highway, left across the car park to the steep descent to Church Way Lane. At the end, a left turn onto Whilborough Road and left onto Huxnor Road. South Devon Highway was under us, again, as we reached Yon Street. Back over the railway to Rose Hill and left down Daccabridge Road, a climb to Fore Street followed by a down gradient to Torquay Road. We headed for the Hare and Hounds where we doubled back up Southey Lane, up to the roundabout and right onto Daccombe Mill Lane at the end of which we turned right. Shortly, a left took us along a gated thoroughfare, following a brook, then on to Willow Park Lane and then the gulley to Coffinswell Lane. Then it was left onto Bushmead Avenue, through to Priory Avenue leading to Newton Road. We continued onto Torquay Road where, unbelievably, we ran past Cole's Lane for last Long split. So, for us, it was Aller Road to Aller Cross, taking us over the railway again. We hit Old Newton Road which took us back to Church End Road, our fourth railway crossing and On Home the way we had come out.

7.7 miles recorded, for a great deal of which I tried to keep pace with Warm Front so, it turned into quite a workout. Thanks Warm Front 

 

And thanks, Shitfaced, for the great Trail.
