Although the N’s w ere being touted a few weeks back\, and the O’s were mentioned last week (leading NT to believe he had dodged scribe duties for a while)\, someo ne mentioned our GM is doing the alphabet backwards! [Ed. yes\, not so fas t there\, NT...!]\n\nHashers arrived on what was a beautiful\, balmy eveni ng in Dartington. The What3Words took us to a car park which got the asse mbled group in a bit of sweat as\, after scrutinising the information next to the pay-and-display machine\, it could not be established if the parki ng was free or not! Despite our esteemed hare\, Squashed Balls\, assurin g us it was free (do we believe everything a hare says...?)\, the group we re reaching for their smartphones to dig deeper into the car parks T&\; C’s! Pony Shafter was not prepared to take any chances\, and actually pa id twice for a ticket. [Ed. overkill\, some might think...but they' are t he uninitiated/carefree-oblivious: no amount of money seems to assuage the parking gods!]. He said he had been part of the ‘Challaborough Five’ [Ed. stricken down by the those parking deities on Boxing Day 2023] and was not going to be caught out on this occasion. Must have missed that ins talment of Enid Blyton’s adventure series! [Ed. an early prototype for - but\, remarkably\, not nearly as popular as - the 'Famous Five'\; definit ely lighter on ginger beer...and rather heavier on expletives.]\n\nSquash ed Balls reminded the assembled hashers\, if they wanted pizza\, to give their orders before the hash to ease demand on the kitchen later. Our sta nd-in GM\, Olive\, called the Circle-Up and asked for any announcements – she said the details for the upcoming Red dress run on 19th July 2025 are being finalised\, and more information will be posted soon. However\, she gave the tip that x2 red dresses would be required: one for the hash and one for the evening. Not sure the male hashers have that sort of flex ibility with their wardrobes! [Ed. Methinks he doth protest too much... Fo r too long have the hash menfolk been constrained by the one-red-dress ru le: suspect the opportunity to pick out two frocks will\, I'm sure\, be w elcomed with open arms!]\n\nJyde also gave the heads up that next week's h ash at Ermington is the annual mid-summer BBQ at his and Hekkel's\, and th at\, although he supplies the BBQs and salads/sides\, hashers are pleas e to bring their preferred food for the grill (meat/fish/other?). He is also in negotiations on the provision of a possible barrel of beer\, altho ugh hashers can bring their own favourite tipple\, if preferred.\n\nBefore handing over to the hare\, and it being circa 24-degrees C in the shade\ , Olive thought we needed a warm up [Ed. !!!]\, which included running a round in circles - and maths! [Ed. too cruel\, for the heat-addled hashing brain] It also messed with people's watch-settings/Strava [Ed. not that a ny of us care about that sort of thing\, of course... 👀]\n\nSquashed B alls duly gave some sketchy information as to what to expect on the hash\, with some confusing Long Short splits\, including Long Longs with Short S horts - must have been the heat [Ed. generous...😆]. The Walkers were wa rned that the Walk was fairly short\, and that the marks would be clear as to the route (more about that later). In true SH4-style\, the important H &\;S information was duly given - i.e. everyone should be mindful to ch eck for ticks following the hash... And something about getting the tick i n the box…\n\nWith the important business concluded\, the pack was final ly let loose and took off into the hot evening. Surprisingly\, it didn’t take long for the first check\, which took most hashers through a tight b ush [Ed. steady on\, NT\, this is family publication]\, but some wise hash ers just carried on a few metres and were able to run around and short-cut [Ed. /cheat...] the battle with the vegetation. The use of checks soon dr ied up\, which Gaffer keenly pointed out [Ed. so unlike him...]\, and it didn’t take long for the field to stretch out\, with FRB’s leading th e way. The pack followed on up a fairly steep ascent to a churchyard\, whi ch included a rapid weave through the freshly-cut grass tracks around the graves. On-on through some nicely manicured fields\, where Wetspot was see n to take in the views on a well-placed bench [Ed. suspiciously mischief-f ree behaviour...it must be a trap!].\n\nIt was then out into the lanes\, which afforded little shade from the sweltering temperature\, the heat re flecting up from the tarmac. The cry of 'too much road!'\nwas heard amongs t the various On-On calls.\n\nThe heady scent of Honeysuckle and Meadowswe et was evident running through the lanes [Ed. a little treat for the hay f ever-sufferers among the hash]\, and we had some welcome relief from the h eat as the trail wound through some picturesque villages.\n\nOur hare was seen sweeping at various points from the comfort of his air-conditioned M ercedes\, although it came in handy as he was able to ‘Cas-evac’ a sli ghtly heat-affected hasher back to base.\n\nThe trail back took us along a river bank\, which led us to believe we might get our feet wet\, but inst ead we were treated to ploughing through some thick nettles\, which are pa rticularly potent this time of the year - and to which Anchorman’s legs testified at the On-down [😣].\n\nShaggy saved Muckspreader and Blown Of f from more miles as they missed the O/H mark [Ed. well\, actually only t he 'H' element of it...but. critically\, 'O' bears quite a close resemblan ce to an un-kicked check\, in flour font] and were about to head off in th e wrong direction.\n\nOnce back at the venue\, Things Happen Here\, the pa ck were soon tucking into their pre-ordered pizzas\, which made the less-o rganised quite envious\, as they looked so good. Thankfully\, the well-man ned kitchen was able to take extra orders\, providing more pizza for hung ry hashers.\n\nOur versatile stand-in GM was also the RA for the evening\, so called the collective to order. Squashed Balls was thanked for laying the hash whilst slightly incapacitated\, following a squash-related injury in Denmark [Ed. hero] . He was supposed to receive help from Lazy Git\,  but he lived up to his name and was absent! SB was also thanked for what w as virgin territory and a new location for the down-downs. Think it was a hit for most.\n\nOlive asked the pack whose birthday it was today\, promis ing a down-down for the correct answer: the clue offered was a famous si nger\, which ruled Wetspot out! [Ed. so cruel\, NT: I'm sure he has a love ly singing voice...👀] Pugsley guessed correctly with Paul McCartney.\ n\nGeorgie Porgie and Piltdown Man felt lonely tonight\; they managed to decipher the instructions at the start and did the Short Shorts\, which w as only 1.5 miles\, although very technical at the end. However\, Piltdown Man\, who has joined the Hash Slimming-World Collective\, was congratulat ed for shedding a whole stone in weight.\n\nThe Walkers\, Gary Glitter\, P ony Shafter and co.\, managed to go wrong and did 4 miles! [Ed. Sounds as though they have signs on the FRB ranks...!] This included Gary G talking to people whom she thought were fellow hashers for quite a while\, only to realise they were a couple out for a quiet stroll.\n\nDimwit was seen r unning around in the car park at the end to get his miles up\; had he joi ned in with the pre-hash aerobics he would not have had to do the extra\nl oop [Ed. no\, but he may have wilted from heat-exhaustion before reaching the end of the trail...so\, y'know: swings and roundabouts.]\n\nIn other n ews: Nokkers and Jyde got lost but managed to get back unscathed [Ed.🎉]  \; WGAS was seen with his top off\, displaying his x1 pack\; Barbarell a was congratulated for completing a recent running event\, ‘Race the Ti de’\; Triple Top was well-chuffed\, having been awarded a trophy on Str ava\, only to be bumped down a place when Blown Off loaded up his Strava time! It was also reported that Nice Tackle had been buzzing all around th e hash tonight and people were wondering what he had about his person! NT  got lost on every check tonight [Ed. er\, just checking everyone else g ot that...?] to which Gaffer was heard to say 'he only got lost once\, th en'! [Ed.
