Then on to The Words: Muckspreader was nomina ted\, but Nice Buns was quick to say he could not do The Words as he was n ot going to the pub (and she would have had to do them anyway!). Feeble ex cuse\, I thought\, so I was stuck with having to follow on from Nice Buns' brilliant words from last week and Squash Balls' notes on the backside of a china cow\, who’s ear he managed to take off! [Ed. in SB's defence\, the bovine moneybox in question was not exactly anatomically sound\, bei ng heavily reliant on some fairly ancient-looking Blu-Tack to keep it from falling utterly apart at the slightest touch.] \nDuring the Circle Up th e hare\, Spotty Botty\, said quite clearly - three times - that all the m arks were on the right\, and if they were on the left you were not on trai l. Quite clear\, you would think\, but not for hashers: at the first check \, nearly all the hash went the wrong way\, even though the marks were cle arly on the left. [Ed. You say 'wrong'\, but this was undoubtedly the righ t direction to run the trail to ensure we hit all those excruciating hill s on an upwards trajectory. It also doesn't account for anyone whom might have run backwards looking for marks over their shoulder\, of course... 😁] The only two super-heroines to get it right were myself and Olive\, though we did have some advice from the 40yr-Old-Virgin (Spotty’s broth er\, I think [Ed. affirmative]). As a result\, most of the hash ran it bac k to front. The plus side was it made the hash very social\, as we passed each other on the way round - a bit like stripping the willow [Ed. sorry - I've got nothing...🤷‍♀️ Is it Morris-dancing terminology??]\, I thought. Twitch was very excited as she saw Kevin again. On the other ha nd\, having got us going the right way round\, the 40yr-Old-Virgin got a b it lost and led us though a few fields of stubble before finding the trail again. Poor Twitch’s paws were red raw\, and she was about to give up - until she saw Kevin in the distance [Ed. and her little doggy cup runneth over!] .\n\nTalking about Kevin\, apparently he is a proper hasher and f ollowed the trail consistently while his human\, our esteemed GM\, short-c utted! [Ed. scandalous...or exemplary hashing behaviour\; very much depend s who you're talking to\, doesn't it Gaffer...? 😘]\n\nIn other news\, there was a swimming contingent including Lady Godiva who\, as her name su ggests\, had to take off her clothes to swim [Ed. had to...?]. Other swimm ers were Py\, Good Shag and possibly Fob Jockey\, as the latter two were reported to be going commando in the pub [Ed. or perhaps they both just pr eferred the freedom of one less layer? It was a humid evening\, after all ].\n\nJyde and Know Nuts were outed for their lack of chivalry in abandon ing Nokkers. Jyde apparently went even further towards delinquency by not kicking out a check [Ed. there was some rumour that he was awaiting GM-a uthorisation\, but I'm not sure I buy it...].\n\nCongratulations were give n to Shaggy as it was her 15th wedding anniversary\, and commiserations as she was spending it hashing [Ed. au contraire - it's hashing that makes i t work!] . Yeuk and Gaffer are close to celebrating their 44th\, but ther e is some doubt they will reach it as Gaffer hit the car and Yeuk was not happy [Ed. but concealed it well 😆😘].\n\nAt the down downs\, Squash Balls told a joke about a salmon and the ‘titanic verses’ which surpri sed everyone\, as it was clean and funny! [Ed. required some time investme nt - and there were a few dissenting voices that suggested not everyone h ad the will/stamina to stay with it to the denouement - but that just ma de the long-awaited punchline all the funnier 😆] There was some comme nt about Can’t Come and tee shirts which I did not quite get. [Ed. I thi nk I missed that. Too distracted by the (aforementioned) crumbling ceramic cow\, which seemed to be losing body parts faster than the SH4 Slimming W orld contingent are shedding pounds!] \n\nDown Downs were given too:\n\n Jyde and Know Nuts for un-chivalrous behaviour\n Good Shag and Fob Jocke y for going commando\n Gaffer for hitting the car\n Spotty for a brillia nt trail with the best views\n The 40yr-Old-Virgin for haring brilliantly .\n\n\nOn On to (near) CORNWOOD\nPhoto credit: Doggy Style\n🏃 📸  🍻 You can enjoy a few pictures from the back-to-front Churchstow hash on 30th July 2025 by checking out Hash Flash's purpose-built photo album  on the SH4 Facebook page 📸 🏃🍻\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n👣\nNext SH4 Ha sh 🐷👣: \nHASH 1539 -  6 August\, 2025\n \nCIRCLE UP 7.25pm\nLoc ation approx. 0.5 miles from the Cornwood Inn\nWhat3Words: https://w3w.c o/grub.norms.matter\n❗Limited parking at Circle Up site❗\nConsider par king at Cornwood Inn and car-sharing (or walking/running...?) to start of the hash.\n\nON DOWN:\nCornwood Inn\nThe Square\, Cornwood\, Ivybridge\, Devon\, PL21 9PU\nWhat3Words: https://w3w.co/reserve.appealing.eternity\n 🍔 Food available at the pub 🍔\n\nHare: Triple Top\nFor further inf o\, please see the Hash 1539 event page on the SH4 Facebook Group.\n\n Add your photos of how the evening went down (on Weds 6th August\, 2025)  to the Hash 1539 photo album on SH4's Facebook page (when it's been cr eated!).\n📝 If you are the lucky Scribe at CORNWOOD on 6th August\, pl ease submit your edition of The Words to thewords@sh4.org.uk by Sunday e vening (10th August\, 2025) - TVM! 📝\n\n👣\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSH4 'E ALTH &\; SAFETY\n \nPlease make a note of the SH4 hash phone number an d add it to your phone:\n \n🌟 SH4 hash phone number: 07922 103701  🌟\n \n \nUse this number to call for assistance if you come 'unstuck ' out on the trail\, or need to get a message to 'base camp' (On Down) dur ing the run.\n \n👣\n \n  Don't forget to see Rusty Bottom / Doggy Style before the hash to log you out on trail using the new-fangled ch ecking-out/checking-in app (developed by our very own digital-wizard\, W hisperer).\n \nDon't forget to also check back in with the 'On Secs once you're safely back. \n\n👣\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSH4 MercHASHdise \n \n\nShow your love for SH4 and wear your membership proudly with a bespoke SH4 car sticker!\n \;\n \n\nAvailable exclusively to SH4 members (and\, to be fair\, anyone else who wants one...) for the bargain sum of £0.50 ea.\, you can afford one for every vehicle in your fleet! 😊\n \n\nSee a me mber of the committee at the next hash meet to get yours.\n \n👣\n_____ ________________\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n - \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Words according to LOW-T-ARSE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🌟 👣  🌟\n\nHASH 1538 - CHU RCHSTOW\nThe Circle Up went well: Twitch and Kevin were ecstatic to see e ach other again\, without the white powderpuff getting between them [Ed. w hile Kevin had been valiant in his defence of Twitch last week\, I'm not s ure any of us were quite ready for a dramatic sequel just yet].
