I think the other routes to t his very welcome pit-stop were rather longer...] with a variety of refres hments of a dubious nature - one looked like antifreeze! [Ed. Mmmm: unide ntified super-strength alcohol: a delicious hash staple!]\n\nSuitably con fused\, we went forth: I was soon confronted with a steep downhill\, whic h I thought would guarantee a following steep uphill to follow\, but our k ind hare\, Nice Buns\, assured me that it would be almost flat\, apart fro m a little climb up to the pub at the finish. Naively\, I went on with thi s encouragement. [Ed. Oh\, LG - how long have you been hashing?] Note to s elf: trust your own judgement in future!\n\nThere was some confusion in th e Plympton contingent about the meaning of three dots: does it mean go b ack\, or go on? They didn't know if they were coming or going! [Ed. a(n ar guably unintended) masterstroke that trapped the FRs of the FRBs in an imp ossible loop in the deep\, dark wood for a moment or two...]\n\nMeanwhile \, Olive found herself in a field of cows. Frightened to death\, she sped up to a record-breaking 6mph\, still being chased by the cows\, but Underc overs was on hand and "took her up the wrong way" [Ed. really\, LG - this is a family publication!]. Let's hope that it wasn't a visit to the Oxo T ower! In another field\, Lactaster was stung by a huge angry hornet\, stir red up kindly by WGAS. [Ed. ouch. With a capital 'Oh!']\n\nGary and Nokker s decided to avoid the bridge and followed a road to nowhere\, but Know Nu ts bravely waded on through [Ed. There is no 'avoid' in hashing\, only 'e ngage!'].  Whisperer was seen running strongly up a steep hill [Ed. compe lled by the alluring scent of Stella on the night air\, it was posited by some]\, but it turns out by the time he got back to the pub in the near da rk his headtorch was all of one candlepower\; apparently it had not been c harged since last used in March. Also arriving at the pub\, Rizzo couldn't find the car key which had been placed on the wheel. She searched for age s before realising that she was at the wrong car - early onset of dement ia?\n\nThe general opinion was that the trail was much longer than advised \, and followed an interesting route as seen on Strava - apparently laid by an all-female hare group! Perhaps explains the shape... [Ed. the most well-hung hash of the year.]\n\nGaffer was our esteemed RA. We sang happy birthday to Fluffy Dice and Blown Off.\n\nDown downs went to the hares:\n\ n\n Rizzo\n Nice Buns\n Pimples\n And all their girls Va Va Voom\, Bus h Spanker\, Pull the Udder\, etc\n Blown Off for his birthday [Ed. Fluf fy\, equipped with prior warning of the traditional SH4 birthday song feat . Overshot\, and with more delicate Plympton eardrums\, had already made his escape.]\n\nOn On to ERMINGTON \n\nPhoto credit: Squashed Balls\n 🏃 📸 🍻 You can't enjoy any more pictures from the bale-strewn\, gradient-generous East Allington hash on 20th August 2025 by checking out Hash Flash's purpose-built photo album on the SH4 Facebook page\, so I wouldn't bother...
