Some of us were looking forward to hashing in daylight. Others looked lik e the night before had taken its toll and they would rather be in a darken ed room\, notably Who Gives a Shit. Going Down was welcomed back and we we re joined by some visitors including hashers from Devon A to B. \n\nBit of Ruff gave some instructions about loops and Beer Stops but no-one was lis tening. He suggested that in order to avoid a bottle neck in the first mi le the faster runners should go off first. Nobody moved! Then everybody set off together ……and sure enough there was a bottle neck in the firs t mile as we all trekked single file along the side of a stream trying not to get wet feet in the first ten minutes. \n\nOverexposed planned to tak e the short split but Rusty Bottom had other ideas\, so the long it was. A nother long-time-no-hasher was Blue Nun who made a spectacular return by c ompleting two long loops on his first hash for months. No excuses on Wedn esday. \n\nThe multiple loop route meant that in no time we were at the fi rst beer stop cheerily manned by Pony Shafter and Broken Man. Never one to miss an opportunity to moan\, Gaffer expressed his disgust that there w as no full-fat coke on offer. Gaffer\, if its performance enhancing drug s you need halfway through a hash then Olive and Barbarella can recommend Nurofen washed down with Amaretto! This cocktail was so effective that Th e Lost Causes (Olive\, Lowtarse and Barbarella) were actually the FRBs for the second long loop. So unaccustomed are they to leading the hash they couldn’t understand why no one had marked the way for them. At first th ey thought ‘those B****** FRBs haven’t kicked the checks out’\; then they thought ‘we must be the only ones running this route’\; and then they heard a thundering stampede coming from behind. Ah! So that was wh y! They wouldn’t have been so conscientious in marking the checks had t hey realised!\n \nThere was a disturbing report of animal cruelty perpetra ted by Overshot who apparently not only lived up to his name but also mana ged to kick a dog. Twice! \n\nDobby was sounding like a child in the bac k seat on a long journey continually asking how far he had run. Gaffer wo ndered why he didn’t know as he kept looking at his watch……and then realised that Dobby was keeping up with the football scores. (Sad day for Plymouth Argyle I was told.) \n\nBig Foot sauntered casually around the l ong loop\, hands behind his back\, never breaking into either a jog or a s weat and keeping perfect pace with the sprinting Lost Causes. \n\nAnd so we neared the pub the smell of pasties in the breeze. Flower Power recko ned that he knew a short cut. Short cut it may have been…..but to the w rong pub. \n\nMeanwhile the intrepid Lost Causes were fast approaching t he village rejoicing in the fact that they wouldn’t be last back this ti me as they were still ahead of Rizzo\, Who gives a Shit and the rest of th eir posse of longs. \n\nAt this point Olive decided that she really could n’t wait until the pub to have a wee. She followed a footpath sign and ducked in behind a hedge. Barbarella and Lowtarse loitered in the lane an d shouted a warning through the hedge when a man pushing a lady in a wheel chair appeared heading straight for where Olive was secreted. It must hav e been a big wee because Olive still didn’t appear. What to do to avoid red faces all round? Quick thinking Lowtarse and Barbarella blocked the p ath and engaged the couple in conversation so that they couldn’t turn th e corner and find Olive. Whilst this was going on Rizzo and the remaining longs sprinted past leaving the Lost Causes last home to the pub as usual . \n\nAt least there were plenty of pasties. \n\nGoolie presided over the proceedings thanking the hares for a great hash. \n\nDown Downs were awar ded to: \n\nBit-of-Ruff and Little Chef - hares \nJyde for his birthday ( How old??!!) \nFlower Power for going to the wrong pub \nOlive too many re asons to record \nAnd Overshot for animal cruelty. \n \n\n\n - The words according to Barbarella \n\n\n\nSo there we all were\, on a dry Saturday m orning outside the entrance to Woodbury Country Club.
