Danes Wood *Bull Bait's 40th* - Child Catcher, Twin Peaks and Bollards - 8th July 2018

By -
If Bull Bait was worried about being humiliated, he wasn't showing it. The hash started normally - or as normal as could be expected given the 30 degree heat, and it being our 888th hash. But at the end of the opening circle, out came the surprises - and he clearly hadn't put on fish net stockings before. The pink handbag was full of forfeits - which would be undertaken as the hash unfolded.

The first was doing the plank for 60 seconds, the second was kissing all the male hashers, and the third was doing three cartwheels. The sweetie stop was at the top of the valley by the photoframe, where forfeit number four was 10 burpees. Number 5 was ten pressups, and number 6 - back at the car park - was kissing all the harrietts.

Then he (and Child Catcher) got down downs for allowing Stingray to hash in new trainers (last week). And another one for having his birthday - and the usual hash rendition of 'happy birthday'. Stingray also got fines for whinging.

Next week we're in Yeoford, for a BBQ Woody's house. Please bring beer! (EX17 5HZ, SX780983, map)

And don't forget to Rate the Hash

Finally, an urgent request for hares for 12th, 19th and 26th August.

Cowley Bridge - Groucho and Bean Bag - 22nd July 2018

A stranger returns... our GM was back to lay the trail today, helped by his much better half, Bean Bag.  We grouped together in the lay-by outside of the Steiner School, already sweating as the Sunday morning Range Rovers dropped off their weekly recycling.  Groucho explained that the first mark was a bit of a miss, because he managed to spill the floor when he tripped over the dog!

We headed away towards Cowley Bridge, and then up through the houses to a play park.  It looked like there was no exit, but there was, discovered by Spocky, and he disappeared into the bushes with Child Catcher (making the most of Bull bait's absence!).  Across the very dry fields which Groucho explained that he uses for dogging, sorry, dog walking.  This was a new bit of Exeter to me, and it seemed everyone else on the trail.  Lots of shouts of short cutting were heard, but we were just following the front runners.

Then we dropped down on the Belle Vue Road, which took us towards Duryard halls of resi…

George V playing fields, Exeter - Stix - 12th Aug 2018

Just 11 of us on this week's trail - not very surprising really given the holiday season and the overnight rain.  But we certainly represented the quality of the hash, if not quantity! We welcomed Skylark from London, who had been invited by Sorepoint to the A2B hash yesterday, and joined us today while he was in the county. 
It was my lay, and I'd been out since 9.30 in the rain, but was flummoxed laying the final bit because Mill Road - the lane the follows the river - was closed. So arrived in the car park, looking like a drowned rat, a few minutes after 11.  
I took the trail towards Bridge Road, knowing that since its one-way, no-one would spot the marks on their way in. But I had to be carefully to kick out any marks from Isca's hash the previous Wednesday. The trail went up the dual carriage way then onto the playing fields, while I cut the walkers short.   Back together, we made our way up onto Topsham Road, then into Ludwell Valley park.  We nearly lost Belltoll thr…
