Two virgins (Louise &\; Laurie) introduced themselves (or rath er were shoved into the middle for ritual humiliation). Overshot thought t hey might have been introduced to the hash by a running dentist? He was pr obably watching Marathon Man past his bed time.\n\nVarious other really im portant announcements were made (no\, can't remember them). Then Overshot handed us over to the entirely absent Hares Goolie &\; Spotty Botty... but\, with comedic timing\, they screeched to a stop and spilled out of th e car\, muttering how they'd been at it since 10am.\n\nGoolie muttered som ething about 100 long/short splits and estimates of distance that all righ t thinking hashers completely ignored\, knowing just how accurate they ten d to be. He then directed us the wrong way to the start before recalling u s back to go the 'correct' way. Tally ho!\n\nThe longs did a lovely pre-vi sit to the Pilchard while the shorts and walkers did the other thing. Then began the longest ever sequence of long/short splits. The hashers were in agreement there were at least 6 splits giving a minimum of 64 possible di stances (ranging from 100 yards to at least 13 miles if you listened to th e FRBs). Anyway Goolie emerged at one point to berate us for taking his ma rkings too literally.\n\nLater a conclave of hashers demanded the attendan ce of someone with veterinarial skills who could dissect a cow pat to work out whether it was marked recently with flour\, produced by a beast with medical difficulties or horror of horrors an old hash marking. After much to-ing and fro-ing\, all hashers re-grouped at the marvellous beach side b eer stop. Then amazingly Goolie directed us to the simplest and quickest r oute back to the car park - what came over him?\n\nOn to The Pilchard - Al as\, we failed to drink them dry - they were clearly ready for us this tim e. And gave us a really warm welcome with their roaring log inferno. After an enthralling debate between Overshot\, Dimwit and Goolie about how long the course really was\, we woke up to more Agatha Christie based puns. We also learned that:\n\nPeeps was running jetlagged after a flight back fro m South Africa (what route did the pilot take?)\; Wetspot has a condition that stops him running around islands\; Beeflicker has a compulsion to pus h people down hills\; and Deepthroat is teaching her kids the noble art of down downs (with water we were reassured).\n\nDown downs were awarded to many people\, but were mostly re-nominated\, so the situation remains conf used as to who drank what. Upshot tried to award down downs to Hares Spott y Botty and Goolie\, but Spotty Botty had gone home because she wasn't fee ling on top form so Goolie nominated Ging Gang\, awarding her a special bi rthday half of prosecco.\n\nNeither of the virgins took their medicine (on e of them doesn't drink beer - only champagne!)\, instead nominating Flage and Gary Glitter. Dimmers complained that he hadn't been mentioned but st ill didn't get one. Josie (currently unnamed) received one for waiting cro ss-legged for half an hour by her car not realising the key was in the usu al super secret hash location - the wheel. Various hash names were suggest ed including Rimmer\, but Overshot deferred naming. Shorty had one for the previous night's football result. Dimmers made another desperate (and fai led) attempt to get a down-down. Barbarella got one for running.\n\nSo tha t was it for another excellent visit to Bigbury. Apparently\, we're going to do it all again (for the 1200th time) on Wednesday at a brewery. If onl y there were some commonly used metaphor for bad organisational skills\, d rinking too much and a building primarily used for the fermentation of alc oholic liquor that I could wheel out... No can't think of one!\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \;\n\nOn Down at The Pilchard Inn\, Burgh Island - \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe words according to Puntiliarse\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nAt circle up Overshot regaled us with a hilarious joke about C hris de Burgh Island\, and we all laughed (uproariously).
