SUMMARY:South Hams H4 Hash 1501 - Crooked Spire
DESCRIPTION:The Words according to YEUCK\n🌟 👣 🌟\n\nFollowing the v
 ery sad news of Morticia's passing last week\, the family have shared that
  the funeral will be held at midday on Wednesday 8 January at South Milton
  Church\, with the burial to take place at the South Milton burial ground 
 opposite. Hashers are invited to join the gathering at South Milton Villag
 e Hall afterwards.\n\n________________________________________\n🌟 👣 
 🌟\n\nHASH 1501 - ERMINGTON\n\n"Oh\, Little town of Ermington\,\nHow sti
 ll we see thee lie..."\n\nThat's until SH4 arrived.\n\n"Above thy deep and
  dreamless sleep..."\n\nNo chance of that with Doggy Style's address to th
 e assembled hash. (Ed. Although I think we were spared the P.E. teacher's 
 whistle. We must have been unusually well-behaved...!)\n\nSad words to sta
 rt the evening: the loss of the lovely Morticia\, with the wish that she h
 ad joined Fallen Woman and Rambo and was starting an upstairs hash SH5 (Ed
 . a comforting thought 🧡)\n\n"...The silent stars go by.\nYet in thy da
 rk streets shineth..."\n\n...with the torches of 30 or so hashers...\n\n".
 ..The everlasting light!\nThe hopes and fears of all the years\nAre met in
  thee tonight."\n\nPy stepped forward to give us the gen on the evening's 
 trail\, informing us there was a biscuit stop\, which wasn't a stop as we 
 were required to pause only briefly to collect said biscuit from Hekkel to
  avoid causing a tail back! (Ed. and what a superlative little shortbread 
 it was. Not content with being architect of the Unbeatable Christmas Cake\
 , Hekkel has also now scooped the crown for delicate\, buttery\, little bi
 scuits!)\n\nWe set off and the trail immediately split\, with the Shorts g
 oing left along the lane then into the field &amp\; up\, up\, up... The Lo
 ngs headed down through the town\, and that's where my knowledge of the lo
 ng trail ends. Now\, normally I have Gaffer's Garmin download to follow th
 e route taken by the Longs\, but this evening Gaffer was still suffering f
 rom man 'flu - or man-up 'flu\, as I like to call it - and was home with a
  Lemsip in front of a roaring fire (Ed. poor lamb...).\n\nThe Short trail 
 continued up then out onto the road and back down to Jyde/Hekkel's house\,
  through their garden\, collecting a biscuit each as we passed (sooo tasty
 ).\nVindaloo put her biscuit in her pocket to enjoy later\, only to be tol
 d by Jyde that it would be just crumbs at trail's end\, so she fished it o
 ut and ate it (Ed. yes\, although highly delicious\, not structurally robu
 st enough to withstand a runner's - or\, indeed\, any - pocket. Part of it
 s charm!).\n\nWe then dropped down through their garden onto Pinky's land.
  Here we were instructed by this very bossy co-hare to stick to the path a
 nd be careful not to tread on the wildflowers. The Longs had caught up wit
 h us by this stage\, and we tried our hardest to stay on trail\, but some 
 unfortunately went off-piste resulting in a right ear-bending from Pinky (
 Ed. perhaps he missed out on his biscuit...)\n\nAfter a tour of the field\
 , we climbed up onto the patio and headed west along the lane\, then down 
 a very uneven Back Lane. Rob stood guard as we emerged onto the busy A3121
 \, directing us safely across and into the field to follow the Erme out to
  the A379\, then back into Ermington.\n\nThe Shorts recorded 4 miles\, the
  Longs...? (Ed. more... [About 6?])\n\nThe Crooked Spire was welcoming\, a
 s usual. Several hashers had a bite to eat. It was noted that Twisted Sist
 er &amp\; Doggy Style used their Christian names for their food orders (tu
 t tut).\n\nNice Buns was our RA this evening\, and performed her duties wi
 th the utmost care and diligence. Concern was given for Blown Off's injury
  - a viper attack\, we were told\n\nTriple Top was acting as a trip hazard
 \; some thought he has collapsed\, but it was part of his stretching routi
 ne.\n\nDown downs went to :-\n\nHekkel - Mary Berry of SH4\nLazy Git - 80t

  Winnie's Words\, but the 1500 Olympic-themed/Night of the Living Dead Has
