The blue skies of Saturday were now in the past\, a s was our lovely day out to Kingsbridge and Salcombe. Can’t Come had hun g up his swirly red dress until it’s next outing\, and CALL OFF THE SEAR CH\, Goolie’s special Tshirt had been located not in the pubs of Kingsbr idge\, but in his hash bag all along. As we parked up\, nobody rushed to g et out of their vehicles\, Cow Pat had a telling off from TB for parking i ncorrectly in her space\, yes she was technically between the lines but to o far over one side\, is there a hash tape measure anywhere? TB was also i n the frame when Olive asked to stow her keys in his exhaust pipe\, but wa s advised that his pipes were too hot for her gentle hands!! Ooh err\n\nTr affic Jam and Windy Balls appeared out of the mist\, with instructions for the Hash\, but what was this\, an announcement that a banana had gone mis sing on the trail\, it had absconded from Windy Balls’ rucksack\, the SE ARCH was very much back on indeed. This added a certain excitement to the trail\, a treasure hunt for sure. TJ and WB also had to confess that they had forgotten their torches\, so up stepped our own GM Rizzo\, to help out with a giant torch the size of a wine gum\, WGAS ever helpful also offere d a light. Second Coming living up to his name only just made the hash\, a s his first coming or going\, he went to Aveton Gifford as Rizzo had told him that is where it was\, a week too soon. I think she was too busy writi ng out her jokes to concentrate on the hash location.\n\nWe set off this w ay and that\, slithering our way around the trail\, our small band trottin g along Nokkers\, Jyde\, Know Nuts\, TB and Cow Pat\, we were passed by so me of the longs running up hill like they do. Know Nuts was lamenting runn ing in the rain whilst Nutcracker was cosy in the Prosecco wagon\, no he w ould not be persuaded to do a stint as RA any more\, his head dress deemed no longer politically correct\, and was for home use only (!!) After a li ttle while we came upon the aforementioned banana\, we stood in a small ci rcle and looked at it\, Know Nuts said that we must not touch it\, like it was radioactive or something or some sort of trap. WB came along shortly after and scooped it up\, that was destined to be chopped up with his next day’s muesli\, at least the mystery was solved.\n\nIt was beginning to get dark when the trail took us to the Beer Stop\, where the ever dutiful Rubbery was waiting with Saturday’s leftovers (alas none of Spotty’s e xcellent flapjack) but there was some passion fruit alcoholic drink that p ut a spring in Cow Pat’s step in the closing section of the hash. Howeve r the snacks on offer were not to everyone’s liking\, Undercovers compla ined that the orange dust on the Wotsits stuck to his teeth\, I suppose yo u can’t please everyone\, perhaps they had been rolling around loose in the boot of the car\, maybe a re-naming\, Sticky Wotsits would be an excel lent hash name.\n\nOn the subject of complaining\, serial complainer Wet S pot fell over and here is the contentious line\, he said that he cried lik e a GIRL\, he didn’t enjoy the hash and just wanted it all to be over\, poor baby\, it will all be forgotten next week and his scarred hands will hopefully have healed.\n\nConsidering the inclement weather\, the hash was well laid and the marks were not washed out\, only one section was a cros s half removed by a vehicle driving over it\, which sent to longs further along the coast path by Overbecks\, but they had the good sense eventually to realise that they had gone wrong.
