SUMMARY:South Hams H4 Hash 1578 - Fisherman's Rest
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Words accordin
 g to GAFFER\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\nHash 1578 - AVETON GIFFORD\nHoisted by my own petard
 :\n\nThe hash gathered in the boat car park of the Ebb Tide (Fisherman's R
 est) - well\, that's what it used to be called back in the seventies when 
 it was a great night out (Ed. [looooong] before my time... 🤣). It was a
  fine evening after the day's miserable weather had moved through.\n\nAt t
 he Circle Up there were a few notices by Keeps Tripping about how the comm
 ittee would resolve the war in two weeks: don't mention the war! Sorry.\n
 \nThree virgins were introduced: Kent\, Sarah and another lady who Squash
 ed Balls\, the RA\, forgot to write on the sugar sachet that I'm reading 
 from. (Ed. how does the saying go about a shoddy workman blaming his tools
 ...? 😂😘) \n\nTHEN\, the moment to keep your head down and be the gr
 ey man: I just went and pushed Know Nuts forward to volunteer for writing
  The Words (Ed. as any self-respecting hasher would've done\, of course)\,
  much to the amusement of all gathered - but not me\, as he had written th
 em a couple of weeks ago (Ed. keep up\, Gaffer!) and all eyes turned to me
 . Dohhh.\n\nNormal lies from the hares\, Shaggy and Rusty Bottom\, (Ed. w
 hich you were clearly listening to with characteristic intent...I'll try 
 not to feel too wounded that you didn't notice I wasn't even at Circle Up\
 , on account of already being en route to my [wholly unnecessary\, apparen
 tly] posting at the perilous stream...) - and we were off.\n\n---\n\nFoll
 owing the trail on the flood plains of the Avon\, there wasn't a well-trod
 den path but there was a lot of tuffted grass\, known to commandos as babi
 es' heads (Ed. slightly troubling metaphor...?!). Awaiting us part way al
 ong was Shaggy to save us from the torrents of an Avon tributary (little c
 alf-deep stream)\, much to Jyde's annoyance (Ed. sorry\, Jyde! Just tickin
 g a box...). Out on to a road and then\, from a check\, up the long climb 
 of Hoppy Green Lane. At the top I caught Dead Man Walking - nice to have 
 a chat and see that he's still walking (Ed. welcome back\, DMW\, even if p
 ossibly only for a brief\, location-motivated cameo!).\n\nStill climbing
 \, the Longs turned right and followed some interesting footpaths past som
 e impressive properties. The hares kept popping up at strategic positions 
 to ensure no one would be lost. After approx. 3 miles came the relief of 
 starting our descent back to the On Down\, flying past all the Shorts and 
 Walkers who were discussing the ways of the world and how prices differ in
  different supermarkets\, when they should have been head down and racing 
 like the FRBs (Ed. if only everyone took it as seriously\, eh...? [Althoug
 h you might feel the need for a few more weekly training runs up Ugborou
 gh Beacon...! 😂😘])\n\nA beautiful\, proper hash - possibly lacking 
 some real gnarly bits (deep rivers\, cliffs\, etc.) (Ed. *must do better..
 .)\, but I enjoyed it.\n\nFrom the sugar sachet:\n1. Overshot was involved
  in child abuse\, pushing a younger Hasher aspiring to be an FRB out of hi
 s way (Ed. it's only what we've come to expect...sad\, really 🤣) - s
 hame on you.\n2. A Hare helped GingGang and Goolie - yes they certainly n
 eed help (Ed. Ging Gang didn't need any help navigating the raging torrent
  - if anything\, I probably got in her way!).\n3. Undercovers\, came behi
 nd Nice Tackle - read into that what you will 👀.\n4. Virgins went the 
 wrong way - well they would\, if they weren't told what to look for.\n5. 
 Lowt'arse\, so engrossed in conversation\, drove past the start and up Ave
 ton Gifford hill (Ed. or so she'd have you believe... Not a crafty little 
 recce of the start of the route was it\, Lowt'arse...??).\n6. Wet Spot\, w
 edged somewhere (Ed. typical).\n7. Dim Wit\, did the Short - he is a wimp 
 for someone with his capability (Ed. I'd take that as a compliment\, Dimme
 rs... 😆).\n8. Dead deer - I've know idea what that was about! (Ed. RA
 's Ronseal approach to reporting... [Two] deceased deer spied on trail)\n\
 nDown downs for\n\n\n 	Hares\, Shaggy and Rusty Bottom \n 	Virgins\, 
 Kent\, Sarah and co\n 	Overshot - ruthless FRB-ing\n 	Wetspot - some typic
 al nonsense\n\nNow I can have the sugar in my tea - thanks\, Squashed Ball
