Jail Ale keg. £5 cash for food please. Sho rts and walkers should be there in good time\, longs will depend how good your trail following skills are. On On\nThe Words according to BLOWN OFF\n Hash 1468 - SHIPLEY BRIDGE\n\nIt was a warm\, balmy summer's evening. The light breeze drifted along\, in the background the subtle sound of lambs b leating and calves moo-ing could be heard. The river gently meandered\, wh ilst a lone unicorn took time for a drink. Blown off…Blown off! That’s a funny name for a mono-horned beast…I woke with a jump.\n\nBack in the real world\, it was a classic English summer's eve. Misty\, damp and mise rable\, and that was just the hashers. Mustering some enthusiasm\, we circ led up in the car park at Shipley Bridge. Even Nice Buns was there\, despi te the weather. Also\, welcome back to Sex Wax. The liquid sunshine contin ued.\n\nSomehow\, I\, like the most naive of rookies\, ended up somewhat s urrounded and offered up as sacrificial lamb for The Words (Ed. or what is sometimes described as one's turn). Thus\, here are my memoirs of the eve ning's adventure:\n\nIt started with a monlogue from Re-Entry\, to which I wasn’t really paying attention\, although I do believe there are a numb er of gerbils without their bedding any longer. The good news was that it was still raining.\n\nAnd like that\, we were off. At least\, the Longs an d Walkers were. The adventurous Shorts (all three of them) had to wait for hash hero\, Rubbery\, to get his large twanger out (Ed. careful with that \, now...)\, giving them something to hold on to as they crossed the gnarl y-looking river. After crossing\, and led by Spunky\, they continued up to the tor\, got lost\, but somehow all returned alive. The rain continued.\ n\nIt was out onto the moors for the rest of us\, and - unlike any other h ash ever - up\, up\, up. Weaving between paths\, shiggy and animal tracks\ , we followed the trail as best we could\, the ‘interesting’ laying en abling the tail-enders to keep within view of the front - at least to star t with. The rain sustained.\n\nContinuing up and into some proper moorland bog\, Gaffer's sniper was clearly in the area\, taking people out left\, right and centre - Shaggy\, Dimwit\, Triple Top and myself all falling vic tim: there was more going down than Triple Top's browser history. It pisse d down persistently (Ed. beautifully alliterated 👌).\n\nMeanwhile\, a b reakaway group of somewhere between 10 and 10\,000 hashers embarked on the epic tarmac trail up to the Dam. A history lesson\, presented by Dulux\, was what awaited them at the top. How she got the OHP up there no one know s. The rain was unabating.\n\nBack to the Longs\, who by now were somewher e in the region of Dartmoor. Bit of Ruff was having flashbacks to his Corn wood adventure\, but he was convinced by WetSpot to follow the trail like the rest of us. After seven hours of continuous climbing\, we summited and \, in a heartbeat\, began to descend. Down into Overshot's (love) gulley w e headed\, arriving shortly upon an abandoned building\, WetSpot spying hi s next Grand design on the way. The mizzle perpetuated.\n\nNot long after\ , and a small river crossing was navigated\, the FRBs catching up with She 's Ready and Little Chef\, who had been directed by the Hare on a shortcut . Little Chef looked particularly wet after a neck-high dip (Ed. there's n o such thing as a free...er\, shortcut[?]). Nice Tackle\, not to be outdon e by Rubbery’s tackle\, offered a hand to a number of harriets across sa id river. Did I mention the rain?\n\nJust as we thought it was downhill al l the way home\, another mountain appeared in front of us. She's Ready cou ld hear heavy breathing as Overshot came from behind [Ed. 👀] . Somewher e\, still climbing up onto the moors\, the Terrific Trio (Lowt'arse\, Oliv e and Barbarella) were doing their best to annoy the Hare\, deliberately g oing slow. That’ll learn him! They were well prepared with heavy coats a nd headtorches. It drizzled drastically (Ed. and step away from the Thesau rus\, BO...).\n\nAfter what was an hour and a half (for the front!)\, we a rrived back at the car park\, where we were greeted by swarms of midges an d biting b*stards. The race was now on to The Station House. The rain…st opped.\n\nBack in the warmth of the Inn\, Traffic Jam was awarded her 1000 th hash t-shirt\, and She's Ready prepared to make TC a very happy man (Vi ctoria sponge\, I believe).\n\nDown Downs were awarded to some people for some of the things\, but not all of the people for all of the things.
