Pugsley has admitted to harnessing the wordsmit hing wizardry of "Eh-Ayeeeeee" (AI\, to those less familiar with the Bori s Johnson pronunciation) to co-author his beautifully lyrical edition of The Words this week: I have no idea how much ChatGPT might claim respons ibility for\, but it's all about the quality of the prompt (according to e very CoPilot orientation I have suffered this last week)\, so think Pugsle y should still take full credit/blame...]\nHASH 1551 - HOLBETON HALLOWEEN HASH\n\nBoaty and I arrived early in the sleepy village of Holbeton\, the mist still clinging to the hedgerows and the faint echo of crows overhead . Peaceful\, almost too peaceful—until we spotted two locals trudging al ong the lane carrying what could only be described as a body wrapped in ta rpaulin over their shoulders. “Bit early for Halloween decorations\,” Boaty muttered\, eyeing them suspiciously. We decided it was best not to a sk. [Ed.Very wise...]\n\nThe evening promised chaos and running in equal m easure\, as we gathered the troops and welcomed a few newcomers to the Has h—Kerry\, Rosie\, and James—along with a solid turnout from the Holbet on Harriers\, a group of proper runners who looked far too energetic for o ur liking. [Ed. There was a little ripple of competitive twitchiness in th e FRB ranks at this observation...or perhaps that was just a collective sh ivering at the plummeting air temperature/malign spirits abroad...?]\n\nM iraculously\, there was no moaning from Gaffer at the start. “It’s my kind of trail\,” he announced cheerily\, which immediately made everyone suspicious. The family tradition was kept alive\, however\, when Goldfish took up the mantle of complaint—disappointed\, of all things\, that he hadn’t got his feet wet after travelling all the way from London. [Ed. Well\, if he will insist on sticking to the marked trail... 🙄 Plenty o f opportunities for shiggy and water if you're prepared to go 'spectacular ly wrong' on a few checks...]\n\nMuckspreader\, true to form\, managed to go spectacularly wrong on one of the early checks. By the time he realised he’d gone the wrong way\, the local deer—who’d been waiting patient ly—decided it was finally safe to cross the road. Later\, Beefy was spot ted leading Shaggy and Can’t Come gallantly up a long\, steep hill… en tirely the wrong way. A valiant but utterly misplaced effort. [Ed. a true hash gent 😘] \n\nMuckspreader redeemed himself somewhat later on with a dazzling display of athleticism\, one-handedly pole-vaulting a gate lik e some sort of countryside Duplantis [Ed. I had to Google: Armand Duplanfi s\, Swedish-American pole-vaulting world record holder... Not a Greco Roma n demi-god\, then.] Rusty\, She’s Ready\, and Olive encountered the sa me gate moments later and spent so long trying to open it that Gomez had t o intervene with his strongman heroics [Ed. Hash Hero!]. Cue much cheering —and possibly swooning—from the sidelines.\n\nMeanwhile\, the week’s ongoing dogging theme took an unexpected turn [👀]. After the run\, wit nesses reported seeing Gaffer’s car steaming up suspiciously\, shoes out side the door. We’ll let you draw your own conclusions—best leave it t here before anyone calls the parish council [Ed. There can surely be no w orse fate in the rural South Hams...].\n\nThe Holbeton Harriers were might ily impressed by the beer stop—a spooky\, Halloween-themed affair courte sy of Lady Godiva and Rob. It was so good\, in fact\, that some Hashers we re still enjoying it well past 8:30pm. One polite soul even requested appl e juice and\, in true Hash fashion\, was handed a pint of lager instead [E d. Just the same. But fizzier. And lacking in apples]. Problem solved.\n\n When it came to Down Downs\, the honours went as follows:\n• Doggy Style – co-Hare\n• Lady Godiva – co-Hare and master of the spooky beer st op\n• Muckspreader – for his Olympic-style gate-vaulting\n• Goldfish – for moaning (family tradition upheld)\n• Gomez – for being the ni ght’s strong-armed hero\n• Dimmers – for bleating on and on when Anc horman was trying to start the RA’ing\nAnd\, in lieu of the missing newc omers (who had sensibly vanished before 9:30pm)\, we raised a glass to abs ent friends.\n\nAs the night wound down and the mist crept back over Holbe ton\, laughter echoed through the village lanes. Another Hash done and dus ted—mud\, mischief\, and mystery included.\nON ON to SOUTH MILTON for th e SH4 Bonfire Night Fireworks hash!\n\nPhoto credit: Beefy\n🏃 📸  🍻 You can enjoy a few more photos from the Holbeton harrier-heavy has h on 29th October 2025 by checking out the purpose-built photo album on the SH4 Facebook page 📸 🏃🍻\n\n\n\n\n\n\n👣\n\nNext SH4 Hash  🐷👣: \n\n HASH 1552 -  5th November\, 2025 \n\n🎇🎆  SOU TH MILTON - Bonfire Night Fireworks Hash! 🎆🎇\nCIRCLE UP 7.25pm\nW akeham Farmhouse\, South Milton\, TQ7 3JQ\nWhat3words: Https://what3words .com/prank.miles.trial\n\nON DOWN:\nThe Village Inn\, Thurlestone\, TQ7 3N N\nWhat3Words: Https://what3words.com/sprouted.clever.speeches\n\nHare: O LIVE\n\nFrom the hare:\nParking will be tight along the roads so please c ar-share if possible.\nFireworks kick off at 8.30 prompt and the bar will have enough for one or two drinks each - bring your own drinks if you woul d like more.\nWe will then proceed to The Village Inn for Nice Tackle's RA -ing.
