A round of applause\, please\, for Anchorman's debut scribing output ! (Love a strong\, thematic scaffold to hang the words on... 🏎)]\nHASH 1553 - LOWER KERNBOROUGH\n\nThe evening turned out to resemble something more like an episode of Top Gear than a Hash.\n\nIt started with a tyre p ressure warning light... Being a good little Hasher\, I topped up the tyre pressures before setting off early\, aware it was a long way to Kernborou gh and I had eager Hashers to pickup en route. Approaching the Trehill Ar ms\, Ivybridge\, a small group of would-be Hashers caught my eye up ahead: maybe Boaty &\; Barbarella were bringing guests tonight\, I thought... as I drove past the real Boaty &\; Barbarella\, frantically trying to f lag me down at the side of the road. As I made a meal of turning round to collect them\, the pressure was on [Ed. wait - was the pressure on or off? ! Get your story straight\, man!] to make the 19:30 cut off.\n\nApparentl y I wasn't the only one to struggle at the whole car-sharing thing - somet hing to do with Rusty &\; Lactaster\, hazard lights and one of them (ca n't recall who [Ed. could have been either\, in fairness...😘]) walking right past their lift...\n\nDespite the hiccups\, I was making good time - only for an oil warning light to then pop up on the dash. Could this be t he night I break down in deepest\, darkest Devon? [Ed. some of us start e very car journey with that thought...]\n\nRizzo was driving the East Allin gton contingent: while underestimating the drive time to tonight's Circle Up by 10 mins AND leaving late\, she somehow still arrived with 3 mins to spare and setting the fastest known time (FKT) between East Allington & amp\; Lower Kernborough [Ed. lovely little segue into running/Strava racin g nomenclature there\, Anchorman - not strictly true to your theme\, but w e'll allow].\n\nRunning Late was the night's 'star in a reasonably priced car'\, explaining how he's lucky if he can get his rear lights to turn on. Good job he wasn't leading the charge into Lower Kernborough.\n\nWe made it in time\, only to scrape the underside of the car driving up the embank ment into the field marked 'SH4 Hash'. If there wasn't already an oil leak there definitely was now!\n\nI wasn't the only one to graze the car: Dogg y Style later seized the opportunity and was heard offering Hashers 2-for- 1 on front bumpers. [Ed. the cogs of that razor-sharp business brain are a lways turning!]\n\nOut on the trail...\n\nAn exceptionally-marshalled even t\, we were corralled and ushered in the appropriate direction by said mar shalls and arrows a-plenty. This set off the racing instinct amongst SH4.\ n\nMuckspreader set the pace\, with Ice Ice Baby and Jack the Virgin chasi ng down the lead - but only until Overshot sent them the wrong way with a mischievous call.\n\nOn the second or third hill of the night\, I was gett ing into the spirit and saw an opportunity with Overshot and Blown Off slo wing to walking pace. I took advantage: firing up the calves\, I slowly p assed them. Overshot quickly engaged as we passed Blown Off: like James M ay at the end of his tether\, he cussed at me before obliging and the race was back on [Ed. slaves to the win... (vain cries of 'it's not a race!'  drowned out by the thunder-splat of trainer on rain-soaked trail)].\n\nWe were treated to an excellent beer stop: strictly beer and Bailey's [Ed. wh at more could a hasher need?]\, we were told\, as the water kilner had bee n smashed - was it sabotage by the FRB's?\n\nLater\, Overshot insisted on showing Shaggy something off the Hash trail. Persistent with his offer\, S haggy reluctantly followed through an old gate and found said something to be very overgrown and in need of a trim [Ed. still scarred 👀].\n\nMr S ofty led Boaty down a dark alley to tell him all about his chocolate facto ry - no samples were offered [Ed. a blessèd mercy?!].\n\nKnokkers did rem ark the location of the O.H. was 'cruel'\, being about half a mile from th e finish line\, and up the hill.\n\nThere were no T-shirts or medals at th e end\, but Hashers seemed content to settle for a pint and cheesy chips a t the lovely Bear &\; Blacksmith.\n\nAt the pub\, Overshot was looking for some advice on a new car. There was some sound advice from Muckspreade r and Nice Tackle (or 'No Tackle'\, as coined by Garry Glitter): go Japane se\, you can't go wrong\, I chipped in\, vouching that my Honda was bomb-p roof\, not divulging the multiple warning lights earlier that evening [Ed. why complicate a recommendation with potentially contradictory details?] .\n\nNice Buns took a superb turn at the RA'ing and announced the race res ults: we learned Badcock &\; Keeps Tripping came last\, pipped to the l ine by Olive. Let's hope there's no hard feelings\, as they'll be laying n ext week's trail!\n\nDown Downs went to:\n\n\n Hares - Sex Wax\, Gary Gli tter &\; Cowpat\n Twisted Sister - Congratulations for passing first a cademic essay at Masters level!\n Jack the Virgin\n Mr Softy - Willy Won ka vibes\n\nON ON to SHIPLEY BRIDGE!\n\nPhoto credit: Overshot\n\n🏃  📸 🍻 A worrying trend is emerging: apart from Overhshot's handful of skew-whiff shots\, there are -alas - no further photos to enjoy from the cantering Kernborough hash on 12th November 2025 in the lovingly-crafte d  Hash 1553 photo album on the SH4 Facebook page.
