HASH 1550 – WEMBURY

Alrighty then!

I met RIZZO, WGAS and OVERSHOT behind a hedge in East Allington, at WGAS’s dark and formidable barn [Ed. a foreshadowing of the ‘excitements’ to come…?!]. For some reason, it always feels like I am doing something naughty – like going behind the bike shed for a fag, or about to do a robbery [Ed. sheesh, CC – that took a dark turn…! 👀].

RIZZO drove calmly (completely out of character for her) to Wembury, and when we got there something even stranger happened: there I was, innocently standing there with my hood up in the rain, when I felt a presence…and then a hand moving up and down my body…followed by a sexy voice suggesting we could ‘run together’??? With CAN’T COME being some 350 miles away, I was somewhat intrigued (and maybe a little hopeful? [Ed. it’s alright, we won’t say a word, CC 😆]) but it was only WGAS who had mistaken me for UNDERCOVERS [Ed. easily done…😆]. He apologised by way of a Guinness and peanuts – the way to my heart – so all was forgiven [Ed. not a thought for poor, neglected Undercovers though, eh, Ching Chong? Cold. So cold.]

At circle-up, our fab new GM, BLOWN ORF [sic], asked ‘who wants to do The Words?’ I looked around and thought ‘easy, there’s hardly anyone here!’ so I volunteered. Little did I know that, due to LACTASTER‘s nonchalance in her new role as Hare Razer, half the hashers were at the pub, as it was not clear which car park we were meant to be in. Four times I heard BLOWN OFF calling ‘Hash Hush!’ while we were waiting for all to congregate. After the third time, I heard him mutter ‘f*** this’ and start to walk off, but WINNIE death-glared him, which meant he had to give it longer than a week [Ed. presumably the GM role(?) He probably felt he’d already given it longer than a week for hashers to realise their mistake and head ho-…find true Circle Up!].

NICE TACKLE presented us with a ‘mostly’ well laid trail, until I got confused at one point towards the end, where there were dots and arrows all over the place [Ed. excellent, thoroughly-instructive hash directions, by the sound of it!]. I took my chances up a footpath, running away from the comforting streetlights; I started to think that I was possibly on the start of the Shorts, so turned around and came across OLIVE and LOWT’ARSE, who had slowed up, all the better to partake in a spot of voyeurism at a dogging car park by the sea. I had enjoyed the church bells…they had enjoyed the dogging. [Ed. different strokes… 👀]. 

GAFFER witnessed BLOWN OFF not kicking out a check (still in a strop) – naughty, naughty – and the trail eventually meandered along the coastal path.

Back in the pub whilst RA’ing, GAFFER told us of when, back in the 80’s (when he was 60 according to OLIVE), pre-SH4, he had laid a trail at Wembury where many hashers had nearly lost their lives…naturally, GAFFER. In his own way, it was a H&S talk…another one. He also publically argued with the barman about the pub’s former name: the Jubilee versus Old Inn [Ed. we all know who was (always) right… 😘].

ANCHORMAN had ‘returned from Sweden’ – yeah, right! This was clearly a lie said to get out of going to the AGPU last week…You offered [Ed. for a starring/committee role]! Toughen up, lad – you are going to need to if the last 2 years are anything to go by!

It was dark, it was raining, it was muddy, it got a bit sexy [ 👀]…it was a laugh! Thank you, lovely people.

Down downs:

• NICE TACKLE – naughty Hare
• GM (BLOWN OFF) – impatience
• WGAS – fondle
• ANCHORMAN – porky pie
• GOMEZ – impeccable sense of direction
• WET SPOT – wonky fingers

On on to HOLBETON!

ERRATA

Ed. With sincere apologies to WHISPERER for my omission in doing a (too) brief round-up of the committee and non-committee roles from 15th October’s AGPU, please note that he (Whisperer) will continue in his non-committee ‘helper’ role, alongside Rusty and Shaggy, as hash Webmaster and general all-round web wizard. Rubbery will also continue to expertly curate hash photo albums as needed, with the hash at large providing the photos to fill them while he is unable to attend quite so regularly.
