My presence in the car must have had some effect on Overshot\, for when we arrived at the Circle Up\, he drove towards one of the group of a ssembling hashers causing them to scatter and step aside rapidly: I was q uite impressed! How this didn’t get reported to the RA\, I’m not sure\ ; maybe that privilege is reserved just for me?\n\nAs we went to Circle Up \, I was made aware of the possibility of getting a swim\, so hastily retu rned to Overshot's car to empty out my pockets of keys\, wallet etc. to k eep them dry - then realised that I had forgotten to bring a towel\, but t hought\, what the hell… [Ed. I would say a Gaffer-trail in Plymbridge Wo ods carries more than a 'possibility' of a swim...!]\n\nThen\, as we were circling up\, I remembered the one job that I have\, i.e. “HashFlash”\ , so snapped a few shots - plus\, here’s one I took earlier on my way to WGAS' abode for “tea” before the hash. Bonus points for anyone who kn ows where this is –\n\nPhoto credit: Rubbery\nI was so busy taking pictu res of the Circle Up that\, as usual\, I failed to listen to any of the in formation from GM\, Doggie Style\, or the Hares\, so I wasn’t aware of t he routes or distances involved [Ed. You didn't miss anything that any one of the rest of us couldn't confidently make up and present as fact. Much as the hare might...]. I was paying enough attention to hear Doggie Style nominate me for the Words\, which I thought was fair play\, given that I a m not able to attend regularly at present.\n\nI did get a picture of the V irgin\, just so that we could identify him if we lost him! [Ed. Sorry Rubb ery - pic was too tiny to include and still be discernible: I'm afraid you 'll have to use your imaginations here...] He was invited by Badcock\, app arently.\n\nThe pack set off. I decided I would do the Walk and have a di p if the opportunity presented itself. I stayed with the last group of Wal kers\, and we quickly ran out of the Walkers' trail\; I thought\, 'That’ s odd...'\, but Pony was there to set us right – apparently that was the plan all along\, as Gaffer can’t be arsed to set a Walkers' route! [Ed. such aspersion-casting! Can't believe anyone would say such a thing... 😉]\n\nI did manage to capture a few pictures along the route\, and a f ew at the kissing gate [Ed. pucker up\, ladies (and gents - for balance)! ]\n\nPhoto Credit: Rubbery\n\nReports from / of other hashers on the hash from the RA’s interestingly annotated note system\, with numbers starti ng from 1a then 2 through to 12\, and in no particular order\, read as:\n\ n Longs all went wrong – no marks – at least ¾ of a mile wrong.\n A lot of bum-sliding. [Ed. I can corroborate this - the only way to navigat e some of those slopes!]\n Can’t Come cut his leg.\n Lactaster got a n asty scratch.\n WetSpot jumped in and was swimming with the harriets\, th en remembered he still had his watch on.\n WetSpot lost LiveWire – you had one job\, WetSpot! Apparently\, you’re too slow to keep up with Liv eWire! [Ed. Aren't we all?] He had to wait over 20 minutes for you back at the Carpark.\n Pony got taken out by a puddle [Ed. as vicious as trees\, it seems!]\, something about beige colour and wanting to feel the Pony - shame I missed that photo opportunity.\n Beefy - is that Beef Curtains? [Ed. yes] - saying the mud wasn’t that bad\, then he started sinking!\ n Gaffer was heard saying that you can’t lay a bad trail here.\n WGAS fell over and wounded his knee\, so had to wimp out on doing the rope swi ng and swimming.\n Boaty screams like a girl – whoever would have thoug ht that?\n Dulux spotted some smoke and fire and sent GHR back up the hi ll to put out whatever was causing it – did we find out? Whatever\, he w as nominated as Hash Hero\n\nBack in the pub –\n\n\n Filth ordered some chips and went to get some Tomato ketchup and Mayo\, returning with one r ed and one yellow crayon instead of the sachets of sauce! [Ed. Although\, apparently\, was so committed to the illusion that she also attempted to 'open' the crayon-shaped sachets 😆]\n Gaffer\, had chosen the local Wetherspoons as the evening's venue only so that he could drink the cheap est beer money could buy! [Ed. I think there was an equal mix of wonder an d delight at the 1980's-esque pricing structure\, painfully well-accustome d as we all are to not getting a whole lot of change out of £6 for a pint ...]\n\nThe RA for the night\, our lovely GM Doggie Style\, called us to o rder without using her whistle and\, as we thronged round\, I couldn’t h elp but notice that she held a typed sheet in her hands – has she access to a printer or has she been taking tips from Olive??? Surely not pre-wri tten notes... [Ed. what is this sorcery that allows RAs to see the future hash?!] \n\nWell\, the proof is in the hands of your scribe – and just in case - here they are\, more or less as written (i.e. typed out):\n"T hanks go to the Stannary for hosting SH4\n\nWhat did you think of the Hash ?
