Joney's Cross - 16th December 2018 - Tampa
Typically the coldest, wettest hash of the year - just so that we are all prepared for the Xmas lunch. So we were relatively surprised that it was 'not too bad' as we circled up at Joney's Cross. There were a few Xmas hats and my black wig-hat (Humtpy described me as a Santa with black hair).
Tampa's trail laying was at its very best (worst) and sent the front runners off in the wrong direction on multiple occasions. But tradition prevailed, and it started to rain before we got to the sweetie stop. Harry (the dog) had completely up-ended poor-old Howlin' Wilf And then it merrily chucked it down for the run on home.
No circle - due to the weather, so we huddled in to warm (ish) cars for the drive to the Cat & Piddle, where Christmas lunch was served, along with the annual free drink! After that the annual awards went to
Bone of Contention (the 'Groucho' award) - Groucho (for not turning up!)

Bradninch - Bull Bait and Child Catcher - 9th December 2018
First trail of the new regime... with Spocky and Bollards taking on the reins as GMs. Shame Bollards had already done the opening circle before Spocky had arrived! Good to see Menage back at City of Exeter H3 too.
It was a hash from the new home of Bullbait, Child Catcher, Stingray and Splat in Bradninch - with a swimming pool in he garden - or so Son-of-a-Bitz thought - and he threatened to dive in. The hares told us that there was going to be 12 'Xmas-themed' fishooks to 'enjoy'. Tampa had arrived early and had a clipboard (collecting names for the Xmas meal next week), but Woodpecker did not break his tradition, and arrived late while also waking up the neighbours by revving loudly as he reversed!
Stingray, full of confidence, but not knowing where the trail went, sped off along Hele Road, but was called back by his mum as we headed across Charwell Meadow and the wetlands, then across to the west side of the town. The photo of the view below was taken from Back …

AGPU at the Riding Stables near Buldleigh Salterton - Spocky - 2nd December 2018
Spocky arrived back at the car park at the riding stables looking a little flustered, and pronounced that he wouldn't try to be so clever laying the trail again. It was going to be a one-and-on trail, without any fish-hooks, because he forgot!
The trail started off going immediately across the road, with the front runners finding the end of the long - which was a loop - before being called back by the hare. Straight down through the woods, and then that long short-split which sent them back to the start. The rest of the trail was pretty much a straight walk to the reservoir for the walkers, and a huge number of loops for the rest of us. When we got to the sweeties stop, Spocky announced that is was 10:50 by the time he'd laid up to this point.
The trail for the longs and shorts soon split after the regroup, with the trail taking in some streams to cross and some serious undergrowth.

Rope swing from last week
A bit late - but here's a video from Hole-in-1 of the rope swing on the trail from Ellerhayes.
