SUMMARY:South Hams H4 Hash 1418 - Fortescue Arms
DESCRIPTION:The words according to Under Covers \nHash No. 1418 East Alling
 ton - Hares - Rizzo and WGAS\n\nStand In Words Editor - Rubbery until next
  AGPU - volunteers welcome.....\n\nCircle up outside the Fortescue Arms in
  East Allington included the weekly lame joke ritual\, a reminder by Nice 
 Buns that Christmas is just around the corner and a welcome to Ding Dong\,
  a veteran of hashing in Fiji.\n\nAt that point I got fingered for the Wor
 ds\, which was somewhat ironic as my day had started with a prostate exami
 nation.\n\nHares Who-Gives-a-Shit and Rizzo warned us that this hash might
  be dangerous – barbed wire\, jungley vegetation\, electric fences and a
  wasp nests were all mentioned and dismissed by the crowd in a blasé show
  of over confidence ….and we were off.\n\nThe first check was mysterious
 ly missing until it was pointed out that Softwood had cunningly parked his
  van on it. We are all used to trail sabotage but by a hasher?? The marks 
 soon led us onto farmland and the adventure began.\n\nAfter crossing a cou
 ple of fields\, Overshot was in full short-cutting mode. This seemed to ha
 ve been anticipated by the hares who had chosen to send us through bramble
 s and nettles\, over barbed wire and up and down steep and overgrown woode
 d slopes without a path in sight. Shaggy\, for protection against the bram
 bles and nettles\, wore a calf guard on her right leg. Her left leg is as 
 hard as nails.\n\nWet Spot was soon annoying the Harriets\, tickling the b
 ack of necks in a simulated wasp action until he tripped and fell flat on 
 his face. Concerned Harriets going to his aid prompted Wet Spot’s guilty
  confession that he had been messing about. He was left where he fell.\n\n
 More impenetrable bramble\, nettle and 8ft high\, tick-infested bracken fo
 llowed – and what’s with the waist high barbed wire? Anyone would thin
 k that Rizzo and WGAS\, two of our taller members had something against us
  shorter hashers. All this led us to the unmanned beer stop. Wet Spot was 
 treated to his own picnic of lettuce and carrot and appeared genuinely tou
 ched by the thoughtfulness. It didn’t stop him complaining there was no 
 water. He doesn’t get it\, does he? It’s a BEER stop!\n\nWGAS had prom
 ised us a swim. Shaggy took one look at the strange toxic crust floating o
 n the stagnant cesspit and unhesitatingly led the FRBs .... on a dry path 
 around the side. Only an idiot would have gone in. You know who you are.\n
 \nEventually a welcome On Home sign reintroduced us to tarmac\, something 
 we hadn’t seen for over an hour. Gaffer declared it “a proper hash”.
 \n\nShaggy’s bleeding knees prompted speculation as to whether the abras
 ions were hash or carpet inflicted.\n\nAlthough the trail was well marked 
 – even I followed it – Flage and Winnie managed to get lost\, putting 
 it down to more talking and less concentrating. Surely not.\n\nBack in the
  pub hashers were fed and watered and a couple of hash hounds were fully e
 ngaged in chip-hunting. That was until the pub cat wandered into the bar t
 o introduce himself to said hash hounds prompting an instant change of pri
 ority. Zoe wanted to play and Torr wanted to kill. The cat retreated and t
 he dogs continued to hoover.\n\nOnce all hashers were back safely our RA b
 rought us up to date with a curious case of mistaken identity. According t
 o Re-entry’s informant\, Olive had created and published on Facebook\, a
  montage of photos featuring her and Blue Nun. However\, on closer inspect
 ion not all photos featured the same man. One showed none other than Gaffe
 r wearing nothing more than a thong and a silver Stetson. Olive’s defenc
 e - that she wasn’t wearing her glasses – only suggests that there is 
 a photo somewhere of Blue Nun in exactly the same rig as Gaffer.\n\nDown d
 owns were awarded to:-\nHares Rizzo and Who Gives a Shit for a memorable h
 ash\nSoftwood for sabotage\nOlive for having a fantasy husband\nOvershot (
 two down downs) for aggravated short-cutting.\n\nOn On to Sea Trout Inn at
