HASH 1523 – MALBOROUGH
There was an unusually modest turnout in Malborough this evening, at the end of a warm sunny day… Where are the hashers hiding? There was a roadblock east of Kingsbridge, but resourceful Harriet, Rusty Bottom, managed to find a way through [Ed. showing true commitment to recording exactly which hasher(s) might still be blundering about the wilds of the South Hams while the rest cheerfully swill down beers in the pub: 🌟]
The hares, Filth and Sexwax, were offering three routes: the Walkers 2.3 miles, the Shorts 3.8 miles, the Longs 5-and-a-bit miles… And then we were off. I saw very little to report on the route, as I was bringing up the rear of the Shorts with Doggy Style & Kevin, and the sweeper, Sexwax. In case she couldn’t remember laying the trail earlier in the day, Sexwax was carrying a map with the trail clearly marked… It was only consulted on one occasion. [Ed. admirable 😆]
Having laid trails in the same area on more than one occasion, I knew we were in for some stiff hills, the final climb being backlit by the most golden of sunsets. How lovely to be hashing without head torches at last! [Ed. hurrah! And great news for those of us who regularly forget to charge them/charge them but leave them in the car or at home/leave them dangling for up to a week from field-gates… Incidentally, was Sexwax ever reunited with her torch, valiantly rescued by Overshot after the Beesands hash she laid last October?]
GHR arrived in time for his RA duties. In no particular order of importance, here is what he had to say:
Gaffer was heard to be moaning about too many H&S warnings… [Ed. Yes, exactly my thought, fair Reader: so out of character!…]
Today was St George’s Day (or maybe it wasn’t?)… [Ed. It was]
Today was also World Book Day (I guess all those with primary school kids will know about that!!)…[Ed. Alas, it seems GHR had been cruelly misled: World Book Day was 6 March – the cold-sweats induced by recalling this at 08.03am, on 6 March, are not so readily forgotten.]
Shakespeare was born (or died) on this day… [Ed. Google suggests both. How very poetic… Tch. Typical Shakespeare. 🙄] .
And on to the hash:
Live Wire beat his dad (inevitable)…
She’s Ready lost an earring, but GHR found it… [Ed. Yes, but did he give it back…?]
Nokkers was competitive (but no details were given)…
Wetspot pissed in someone’s front garden! (naughty boy)… [Ed. Vehemently denied, of course (but, to labour on a poetical theme: methinks he doth protest too much…?)]
WGAS claimed that ‘you’re only as young as the woman you feel…’ Really?
Rizzo was spotted wearing trainers from two different pairs… [Ed. Easily do-… No. It’s like the ‘hazards’ of face-washing all over again (experienced by, er, no-one else)… 🤣😘]
Down Downs were awarded to:
Rubbery – for his birthday 🎉
Sexwax – hare
Filth – hare
Come Tonight – for mooning (which she denied, but took the beer anyway) [Ed. as compensation for such scurrilous rumour-spreading, and in no way to be interpreted as affirmation…]
Rizzo – I guess for the odd trainers ✅
Live Wire – for putting Dimmers in his place
OnOn to somewhere else in the South Hams [Ed. WEST CHARLETON]
