Sincere apologies to Keeps Tripping - who su bmitted his virgin edition of the Words admirably promptly - for the rathe r languorous rate of publication. Pre-Christmas Hash Weekend: what more ca n I say...? (and I only went to half of it!! 👀)\nHASH 1555 - ELBURTON\ nThis is my first words since joining SH4 some six months ago [Ed. well do ne - excellent evasive manoeuvring\, Keeps Tripping]. I had a bit of anxie ty as I initially thought I had been pinged for RA and not the words\, so I was much relieved when Gary Glitter confirmed she was RA-ing and not m e [Ed. if only the rest of us had felt quite so comforted...😘].\nThe la st six months hashing have been an enjoyable\, if not eventful\, experie nce\; hot\, cold\, wet\, muddy\, slippery - and\, as many hashers fell aro und me\, I was rewarded with my KeepsTripping Hash Name (or is it Keep  Stripping? [Ed. Oh\, such a tease\, KT!  Although I reckon it has to be the former - a deliciously ironic moniker for SH4's Heath &\; Safety rep!)\n\nI have found SH4 a welcoming group. As if to typify the inclusive nature of SH4\, Badcock recounted how he had met someone who had been t o their first hash with the Plympton Hash on Sunday and invited them to jo in the SH4 Hash this week - at Ermington. Ironically\, they lived in Plym stock\, so with no means of contacting them to correct the mistake\, they probably drove past the SH4 Circle at Elburton up their way there [Ed. a h well\, can't have the group getting too sprawling now\, can we?] .\nEr mington\, Yelverton\, Sherford\, Elburton: there does seem to have been s ome confusion over where we were actually going this week. The weather was particularly miserable\, so I elected to wear my reflective rain-proof ja cket. Blown Off has been choosing clothing as his criteria for nominatin g who does the words - last week shortest shorts and\, unbeknown to me\,  this week reflectivity (if that is even a thing [Ed. ✅ it is]). Note to self: next week\, wear a jet-black non-reflective onesie! [Ed. Nobody t ell him that next week's Scribe will be distinguished by their head-to-toe \, light-absorbing ninja-esque attire...]\n\nAs briefings go\, this was th e wettest and shortest so far. The route began within Elburton and was one of the more urban routes of late [Ed. Funny\, Gaffer didn't mention it... 😉]. The Hares were particularly vigilant during the early stages\, corr ecting hashers on every wrong turn - and there were many\, to begin with.\ n\nThe hash took in all the landmarks of Elburton\, Sherford building site s and the South Hams\, laps of sports fields\, climbing through storm drai n ditches and the iconic Sherford slag heap\, where two baby deer were sta rtled by Muckspreader charging down the slag heap hill towards them. He could have caught them [Ed. but then what would he have done with them? A lovely pair of deerskin moccasins? Venison carpaccio?]\, but they were ju st too fast and too dear.\n\nEarlier on in the hash\, we were running up a lane which\, due to the wet weather\, was more like a river. This was cle arly a forerunner of what was to come. There was some confusion when contr actors' chalk got mixed up with the hash chalk directions\, particularly a round the Sherford manhole covers. [Ed. typcial hare-ing mischief...] Th e hash was even timed to coincide with the No. 80 bus\, which must have be en tempting for those hashers (Oui\, Oui\, Sexwax and Yeuk) who by then had had enough.\nFive intrepid explorers\, Nice Tackle\, Gaffer\, Anchorm an\, Badcock and myself\, on the Longs ended up on a 200-metre river walk negotiating brambles\, barbed wire\, holly bushes\, submerged logs and a dam [Ed. you Famous Five were not alone - but perhaps concentrating on avo iding the myriad obstacles\, including unidentified animal skeletons\, to notice the rest of us!]. We could see the lights on the ridge of the short hash far above us  - there was even a possible sighting of a beaver\, bu t it turned out to be Gaffer bending down while climbing under a tree br anch [Ed. the two are so often confused 🤣]. \nIt wouldn't be a complete Words unless I mentioned that I was told Olive got lost [Ed. that makes you sound a little as though you doubt the truth in that rumour\, KT?].  \nIt was sad to hear that Lactaster injured her hamstring\, so our wishe s for a speedy recovery [Ed. yes\, indeed - although I think she'd recover ed adequately by the weekend\, just in time to really test it! 😘] .\n\ nMy compliments to the Elburton Inn for hosting the down downs. I was told food had to be booked in advance so\, as no one did\, there wasn't any (W ho Gives a Shit...).\nThanks to the Hares\, Fluffy Dice and Silly Shunt \, for an enjoyable\, memorable and challenging hash. There were loads of checks and Long-Short splits. At one point I was first\, mostly I was in the middle\, but after climbing back out of the river I eventually finishe d last [Ed. and you can wear that with pride: consummate hashing!]. \nDow n Downs went to:\n\n\n Hares - Fluffy Dice and Silly Shunt\n Running Lat e\n Muckspreader\n SexWax\n Yeuk\n Undercovers\n\nI hope everyone had a great time at the Pre-Christmas Do and Hair of the Dog Hash in Slapton [ Ed. Thank you - I think it's fair to say they absolutely did!].\n\nON ON t o DARTINGTON\n\nPhoto credit: Keeps Tripping\n\n🏃 📸 🍻 You can e njoy a few more snaps from the enigmatic Elburton hash on 26th November  2025 by heading to the lovingly-crafted  Hash 1555 photo album on t he SH4 Facebook page. 📸 🏃🍻\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🌟\n\n 😃🎄🍻 🏃‍♀️🍻🎄 PRE-CHRISTMAS HASH WEEKEND  🎄🍻🏃🍻🎄 😃\n\nAn utterly fantastic weekend all round: huge thanks to all the AMA ZING team of organisers and contributors\, without whom it simply couldn't have happened\, but also to each and every hasher who was able to come al ong (for all or part) of the weekend to make it the silly\, special\, stra tospheric success it most definitely was.\n\nI have no idea if a Scribe wa s appointed for the totally-awesome pre-emptively festive hashes 1556 and 1557 over the hotly-anticipated Pre-Christmas SH4 Hash weekend\, but expec t these and slew of compromising photos and video footage - as well as man y other superlatives - will follow shortly.\n\nMeanwhile\, I believe Rubbe ry - and possibly others - have been gleefully posting karaoke snippets a nd other such delights on the SH4 Facebook page - you're welcome!\n\n 🌟\n\n\n\n\n\n\n👣\n\nNext SH4 Hash 🐷👣: \nDARTINGTON HASH 1 558 -  3rd December\, 2025 \n\nCIRCLE UP 7.25pm\nMeadowbrook car park\, TQ96NS\n\nWhat3words:Https://what3words.com/muddy.amaze.violinist\n\nON D OWN:\nThings Happen Here\nWhat3Words: Https://what3words.com/common.lande d.glass\n\nHare: ANCHORMAN\n\nHash Food: pizzas by Pizzalogica\n\n👣\nFo r more info\, please see the Hash 1558 event page on the SH4 Facebook Group.\nAdd your photos of how the evening went down (on Weds 3rd Decemb er\, 2025) to the Hash 1558 photo album on SH4's Facebook page.\n\n 📝 If you are the lucky Scribe at DARTINGTON on 3rd December\, please submit your edition of The Words to thewords@sh4.org.uk by Sunday evenin g (7th December\, 2025) - TVM! 📝\n👣\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSH4 'EALTH & amp\; SAFETY\n \nPlease make a note of the SH4 hash phone number and 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) during the run.\n \n👣\n \n  Don't forget to see Rusty Bottom before the hash  to log you out on trail using the new-fangled checking-out/checking-in app (developed by our very own digital-wizard\, Whisperer).\n \nDon't forget to also check back in with Rusty once you're safely back. \n\n👣 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSH4 MercHASHdise \n \n\nShow your love for SH4 and wear yo ur membership proudly with a bespoke SH4 car sticker!\n\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 vehi cle in your fleet! 😊\n \n\nSee a member 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\nSH4 Mismanagement Comm ittee\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\nGrand Master (GM) - Blown Off\nHare Razer (Organises the hash Trail calendar) - Lactaster\nHash Web Master (Tries to keep the website organised) - Whisp erer\n'On Sec (Keeps records of Hash Counts and Meetings) - Anchorman\nSig n Out/In register (Makes sure no hasher left behind.
