City Of Exeter Hash House Harriers

It was a hilly 5 miler today. It rained as we were circling up, and rained as we were leaving, but was hot and humid on trail.  Woodpecker arrived as the church bell's tolled and Rambo was trying to get in touch to say he'd missed the bus so was on a later one. The problem was that Kenton is famous for its lack of phone signal. He was hoping to be there by 1125, so we decided to mark out the trail clearly in the hope that he would follow. Hotlips had brought his son and friend with him, and H2&on and Pearl's new puppy joined us for his virgin trail. I wasn't sure of the gender, so his bits were put on show during the opening circle. I think we should do the same for all virgins from now on.  The trail had a good hilly runner's long at the start that knackered us all by the time we caught up with the shorts. See the big loop on the left hand side of the map below.  Then a bit of a stretch along the lanes and fields to the sweetie stop. Here we had chocolate Swiss

A poem from Speedy Today's hash was Laid by Spocky  but today he wasn't so cocky he had gotten a tick But he still laid the trail very quick  8 miles he said  how much I dread  running far to a pub  we didn't get any grub  we just got drinks  which gave me some Kinks  lots of long shorts everyone wore shorts  apart from speedy  who despite being greedy  whore a tracksuit which got very muddy because of the Puddy and lots of mud  Now I'm sat in the bath having a laugh  about when sticks bottle  On his bum bag was nearly down Bollards throttle Back from the pub I got very thirsty But I wasn't going to bursty Because it was so hot I needed a bottle Of fresh water from Spocky's BBQ

Just a few photos from the hash from Exminster, for the christening of The Glory Hole! Good to see the Plympton lot, and thanks to Sore Point and Paperwork keeping their promise to be there last to leave!!

Great trail today and a big thank you to Richard Gilham Clever Dick for stepping in last minute for SorePoint and Paperwork. Coffin turned up but very late! It was just like a slap in the face!! 🙄.  There was no rain that was forecast and due to the 3 long loops the coats soon came off with Twin Peaks complaining she was getting moist on the inside! Lovely hashing area. Nearly 4 miles in (for the longs) we got to the sweetie stop but minus Widey! Finally he turned up doing an half mile wrong turn. After quick photo 📷 we were back on trail but missing the Long/Short. The trail took us into some more woods and then trail went from "2 and on" to "Check and on" check here, check there, check Everywhere! It was like a proper hash!😆 Wasn't long before the "on home" and I managed to clock up a healthy 6 miles. Some fines given out and a lovely rendition of Happy Bithday to Woodpecker who will be celebrating his 87th BIRTHDAY tomorrow!  That is also 54 year
