New City of Exeter H3 Haberdashery

New City of Exeter H3 Haberdashery


I have put together a collection of 16 items including Hoodies, Zoodies, Performance T Shirts (long and short sleeve) Sweatshirts and Hats.


The pictures are in Royal Blue because that has traditionally been City of Exeter's colour, but lots of other colours are available, just ask.


Some items are available with small embroidered logo on the front and hash name underneath. Or you can have logo printed on the front with hash name across the back.


I have printed several copies out to bring to the hash.


Please email me your requirements elly.maynard@hotmail.com or PM me via Messenger and I will let you know other options, how to pay etc.

Uphams Plantation - Woodpecker and Howlin' Wilf - 20th January 2019

Woodpecker had acquired the help of Howlin' Wilf as co-hare for this week's trail, although was he really doing Woodpecker a favour, or was he just saving himself £1 subs?  Talking of which, Spocky explained that 'favours' cannot be promised in part payment for the annual subs - which are now due!

As usual, reading notes from his little scrap of paper, Woodpecker told us that the walkers trail was 2 miles, the short was 3 and the long 4 miles, and you'll find the sweeties hidden at the sweetie stop "of gorse".

The trail began with a quick jaunt though the plantation, and a false trail then led us through some dog muck, but we were soon back on the main path, and then through the main part of the woods.  It seem liked there was an awful lot of really slippery downhills, and the hares had an aversion to using the main paths - at least on the longs.  There were four or five long-short splits on this trail, and I lost track of which one we were doing. There were also an awful lot of fish-hooks laid by a hare 'who doesn't believe in fish-hooks'!

We reached the sweetie stop after around 25 minutes.  There was a fantastic choice, with the raspberry bon-bons a particular favourite.  Tampa stole the chocolate raisins to keep back for Coffin - and then she took them down to Brains and Emelda at the bottom of the hill - which is why they're not in the photo!

On the way back we had more slippery slopes, and went past Devon's top secret Mashmallow Farm (see below). Apparently they cut these giant pink mashmallows into smaller ones, and then distribute them across the country (so Bullbait tells me).

Twin Peaks, ably assisted by Speedy and Splat, awarded the fines at the end of the trail - mostly for nerd naming and falling.  Twin Peaks thanked everyone for contributing to her Amazon voucher after her handbag was stolen from her car after she was out laying the trail two weeks ago.  The thieves kindly returned her bag to her front door step later that week, with (only) her phone missing, so perhaps they just wanted her 'little black book' of contacts?!

As always, please don't forget to Rate the hash.

Next week we're at the 'new' Bitz Manor near Whimple - Southbrook Lane off B3174, map

Pynes Hill - BluToe and Hole in 1 - 30th December

A little late, but here are some photos from the last trail of 2018.



More... Haldon Belvedere - Blobhoblin and Twin Peaks - 6th January 2019

More photos from this morning's trail.  I really enjoyed my gorgeous drink - found crisps in my hair on the way home - but it was worth it for the comfort of those new shoes!















On on to next week, when we're at Joney's Cross for a trail laid by Drop Off.

Finally, 2019 subs are nearly due... See here for details about how to pay (PayPal).

Haldon Belvedere - Twin Peaks and Blobhoblin - 6th January 2019

Was good to see many people for this morning's trail from Haldon Belvedere. Trail has laid by Twin Peaks and Blobhoblin with some special mince pie fish hooks. Not to be confused with fish pie mince hooks.

Lots of downhill and some uphill too and a few slips and falls in the shiggy.

The recipe for Stix's 
special brew 
can be seen from the pic. 
He drank it from his shoe, 
which is only fair 
as it was brand new. 

On On. Bullbait
