Behold:\nHASH 1547 - BANTHA M\n\nThe SH4 piggy pirates assembled on the Quay next to the Sloop\, havin g disembarked from their ship 'The Pink Pig' a short time ago. I was rumin ating on why a pig is pink\, but I gave up: there are sow many reasons. Ca ptain DOGGYSTYLE was holding forth to her piggy pirates\, but I wasn't lis tening. I was talking to BOATY about my imminent jumping ship. He was very close to me. In fact\, he was buccaneer!  Suddenly\, silence fell. I gla nced up to note that all eyes and patches were upon me. I bacon to panic. What hogwash had I missed? It dawned on me that I had just been press-gang ed into writing The Words. Either that or walking the plank. I started to protest but gave up. It was coming my way schooner or later. Trouble is\, I find it difficult to write using the pirate alphabet. It only has 10 let ters: 'I I' \, 'R'\, and the seven 'C's.  Captain DOGGYSTYLE was fierce\ , not taking no for an answer. KEVIN just scallywagged his tail in agreeme nt.\n\nI paid attention. First mate NUTCRACKER and the cabin boy JYDE were spouting words of doom. The treasure trail was either 2\, 3 or 5  nautic al miles long. I refrained from porking fun at these outrageous tales\, bu t did agree with having to take care if we run on the cliff path. You don' t want to fall into the sea - it can be very choppy at this time of year. \n\nWe jostled down the mainstream towards the open sea. Frightened peasan ts ran inside their cottages and locked the doors. On On we ran (some of u s\; others limped\, hopped or rolled ) egged on to the Ham. Our torches we re burning bright against the dark sky\, and there were many oathes and cu rses shouted into the night wind. SHAGGY fell again (It is such a bad habi t that she can't seem to break). Fortunately\, she was not hurt this time and I was pleased: it's not nice to have a cutlass. In fact\, there were n o serious injuries this week\, so no need for a hambulance.\n\nThere were squeals of delight from piggies DEBRIEFED and GOODHEAD. They thought that they were leading the attack\, but\, no: NICE BUNS had taken a leaf from ' The Book of OVERSHOT' and had deliberately sent them scurrying the wron g way.\n\nAcross the shifting quicksand we ran\, up onto the cliffs\, cros sing a dangerous place where the locals attack with clubs. I found myself alone\, a line of flares ahead of me and a longer line behind me. I wasn't worried. I have sailed these parts for the last 40 years and wasn't about to get lost. I even ended up running past two of my old home ports. I ca ught up with BO PEEP. Her head flare had run out of fuel\, but I was able to relight an old hand torch and give it to her.\n\nElsewhere\, it transpi red that WETSPOT\, that regular offender\, had put out his torch and was h olding forth on the merits of shortcutting. 'I'm a purist' he was heard to say in a hypocritical way. We ran through fields wherein BOATY was having trouble differentiating between cows and sheep. Must get him a new eyegla ss before we sail again.\n\nThere were many hills\, mostly up. I felt a tw inge in my leg and thought I may have pulled a hamstring. But no\, it soon went and my trotters carried on back to the ale house. All the piggy pira tes felt at home there - it is very 'stylish'. One 'rasher' hasher  was l ate returning having taken a dip in the briny. Must be an aquaholic.\n\nTh e Sloop was busy\, manned by just two deckhands who efficiently handed ou t many jugs of ale and plates of food. The 'pieces of skate' were particul arly good\, I understand. Apparently\, our two deckhands were not informed that our crew were coming..."Like most Harriets\,"  LAZY GIT wryly obser ved. Good to see and hear that the 'Pink Pig' crew is getting its fun back . We should all get along\, even if we don't see aye to aye.\n\nSQUASHED B ALLS was promoted to RA for the night. He had 'written' his notes on a han dy cuttlefish bone which would later be given to YEUK's parrot.( Not GAFFE R\, the African Grey ). We thanked the Hares:  aarrgh\, it was a good v enture. The ale house was thanked\, especially JAMIE for much extra unexp ected work. General cheers for endurance were given to GENITAL HEAT RASH a nd COME TONIGHT on the occasion of their 41st splicing anniversary.\n\nTan kards of ale were awarded to:\n\n\n JYDE/NUTCRACKER -  trail-setting swa bs\;\n WETSPOT - a shortcutting powder monkey\; \n GHR/COME TONIGHT  - cohabiting shipmates for 41 years\;\n YEUK  - for owning the ship's par rot\;\n BOATY - a farm-blind deckhand. \n\n\nON ON to BUCKFASTLEIGH!\n\n \n\nPhoto credit: Doggy Style\n🏃 📸 🍻 You can enjoy a few more photos from the sun-bathed Bantham hash on 1st October 2025 by checking o ut Hash Flash's purpose-built photo album on the SH4 Facebook page 📸 🏃🍻\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n👣\nNext SH4 Hash 🐷👣: \nHASH 1548 -  8th October\, 2025\nBUCKFASTLEIGH\nCIRCLE UP 7.25pm\nOutside The Dartbr idge Inn\nTotnes Road\nBuckfastleigh\nTQ11 0JR\nWhat3words: driven.memo.wa rms\nON DOWN:\nInside The Dartbridge Inn\nHares: Piltdown Man and Georgy P Orgy\n\nFor further info\, please see the Hash 1548 event page on the  SH4 Facebook Group.\nAdd your photos of how the evening went down (on W eds 1st October\, 2025) to the Hash 1548 photo album on SH4's Facebook page.\n\n📝 If you are the lucky Scribe at BUCKFASTLEIGH on 8th October \, please submit your edition of The Words to thewords@sh4.org.uk by Sun day evening (12th October\, 2025) - TVM! 📝\n\n👣\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 👣\n\n🍻🐷👣🌟 SH4 AGPU 🌟👣🐷🍻\n\n\n\n\nDear all\,\n \nIt's that time of year again\, hashers...\n\nWe are excited to announce that the AGPU will take place on 15th October at The Station House Cafe in South Brent.\n\nThis is a wonderful opportunity to get together\, vote fo r your new committee\, and celebrate with an awards night.
