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.

TVH THE WORDS Run #2146

Who was there:

Hare: Archangel,
Psycho, Miss inn, Big End, Well Hopped, Strap On and Strap Dancer, Roger the Dodger, Pisswell, Beefy, Wetfart, Slip on Me,Able, Warmfront, Smellie, Coldtits, Man Pig , Forrest, Fukarwe, Swinger, Pollyfella, Devin, Deep Semen, Beeflicker, Jo
Visitors from Germany: Roger, Elizabeth, Reiner
Visitors from Portsmouth: Ram, Duck Butt, Herr Flick
Returnees: Pocket Rocket, Cheerio, 3sum
 
The venue: Tuckers Maltings
The time was: 19:15
The date: 13/09/2026
 
With all the news recently about threats of WW3 you would think it was all just scaremongering but it wasn't, the Germans had landed and the boat people of Portsmouth had launched their assault on the bar at Tuckers Maltings. The air raid warning had been activated and everyone indoors evacuated to the outside where 34 people came on parade to face the hare, whereupon there was a huge explosion of flour all over the ground, the place was a mess, it was chaos.
 
Upon the orders of the hare to 'run, run for your lives', everyone went running in all directions, screaming and shouting, apparently from Pocket Rocket who limped away with his knee hanging off from the rest of his leg. The longs veered to the left, shorts and walkers to the right.
 
After running over no man's land and through the trenches, the longs came to the B&Q roundabout where we broke off and fought our way along the shores of the River Teign until we got to camp Brunel and a little slow jog through the ruins and slums before going off road into the dark and dangerous undergrowth where we came to a halt. There was a VP, the Germans and boat people were already there and had claimed the territory as now part of Deutchland.
 
It was here that Swinger had to be saved as she tried jumping in the river to escape the army of English who were arriving. Having taken this island, everyone continued along the shorts until we came to Angel bridge where Archangel was on station, directing the longs and shorts to the left and walkers to the right.
 
Warmfront led the charge along the shores of the Teign, taking us all nearly.to Shaldon. Something was wrong, there was no flour seen for an age. Pisswell got onto the comms and radioed through to the Angel who was somewhere disposing of tons and tons of high explosive flour. The Angel informed us we had gone too far so we headed back, well, apart from Pollyfella, Miss inn and Fukarewe who made their own route past the sewerage centre.
 
We headed back, Jo falling in the river and getting wet up to her neck with Pisswell trying to jump in after her, so Beeflicker had to rescue them. 
 
We eventually found two huge arrows leading us into the jungle, how did we miss these you ask... well, we were following Beefy who was following Warmfront, so draw your own conclusions.
Upon exiting the jungle, we arrived at the third world area of Buckland where we were given our instructions to do some PT on the apparatus .... that's physical training Man Pig, not Personal Touching of Psychos T.i.t.s apparatus.
 
It was now so dark that everyone had their search lights on so they could see the way. After crossing the bridge over the A380 we did some back and forth of the trenches between the Teign and the carvery (this would have made a great beer and food stop). There was then some clear navigational directions for the OH through the slums of Brunel and back to the maltings for some well earned refreshments.
 
DownDowns were awarded to:
*Forrest for his big 90th birthday, good job he's deaf as the singing was atrocious.
*Ram for falling over not once, twice but three times due to forgetting his head torch.
*Man Pig for deciding that Psychos breasts were the apparatus he was going to work out with.
*Big End for looking after one of the boat people who had no torch, before. abandoning him in the dark.
And finally
*Archangel for an amazing trail, great turnout, virgin ground and for giving 34 people an amazing night.
On on
Beeflicker
