- Run 957
- We had some virgins one of which who already had a hash name – “comes to early”, the other called just-Brett. They are both post rgaduate students at the University, and both from the California.
- We tried to run up a very steep gorge - photos below
- A very good sweet stop – with all sorts of new varieties including Dib Dabs, and jelly dinosaurs
- Quote of the week was from X Bitz after she ate some sherbert, "I got something white stuck in the back of my throat, and had a funny burning sensation in my throat, my eyes where watering.”
- After the sweet stop we ran down a very steep cycle path and up a steep cycle ramp
- Longs had a Ha Ha
- Nearly got run over by some bikes
- We got lost at a check at the end
Fines went to
- Yankee, Doodle and Dandi where late
- Several people who fell over
- Comes To Early was fined for short cutting
Next week its the Autumn Gathering - if you're planning on coming to Cheddar for Sunday morning, please contact Spocky ASAP

White Hart Exeter - Stix and Bollards - 13th October 2019
Most of the words this week written by Rocky.
Today's hash was in Exeter city centre outside the White Hart (where we went for Sunday lunch afterwards). It was raining when we arrived, and had been laid earlier that morning by a rather moist Stix and Bollards on their 18th wedding anniversary. Talking of being moist, it was good to welcome Mildly Moist back to the hash. We were a bit late setting off (11.20!) due to some parking issues!
The online vote for hare of the month was one by Puss and Boots for their hash in Bampton.

- The first thing that happened was a series of very slippery paths as we headed down to a swollen river on the quayside. Fortunately nobody hurt themselves but if anyone had slipped, it wouldn't have been nice!
- There was nobody really to check this week - which made checking out the first long loop take longer than it should have done.
- Cupcake decided that he wasn't ging to walk any more, so just sat down on the pavement!
- Th trail cotinued around County Hall as the drizzle returned. We crossed Topsham Road again, and headed back down towards the river, and had the sweeties stop in Belle Isle Park.
- Son of the Bitz refused to eat any sweets!
- After that we came to the suspension bridge. I thought it would be funny to move the cables around causing the bridge to wobble - which did work.
- Then there was the long-short split that would have taken the longs across the flooded flood channel. Given the pace was slower than normal, we decided to all go short, but it looked like Woodpecker was going to do it. But then he decided otherwise, and the the hares took us straight back home. Also skipping out the really long long that Bollards had set nearly up to the Double Locks!
- We had beers and crisps, but no fines since we had no Sheriff. Then most of the pack went to the White Hart for Sunday lunch

Uphams Plantation - Howlin' Wilf - 6th October 2019
Run number 955
With The Bitz's, Baits and Team Wide&Tight in Croyde, and no volunteer hare until last week - we thought the numbers would be low - but no! Bollards welcomed the pack
There were two visitors from Otter Valley, Gladys and <can't remember>.
There was a long at the start, which was just a big loop.
This week we had military marshalls for the hash - there was a lot of noise going on with Winchester School CCF down in one of the valleys. They kindly told us where the trail went.
We seemed to skirt along the edge of the woods for most of the trail - ending up near Stowford Woods
Quote of the week from Speedy “I'm hoping to have it off by the autumn gathering” (talking about the cast on his arm)
We lost English Muffin and co. (hence why Speedy had to photoshop them in to the photo)
Stix was fined for Nerd naming and Tampa for being late.
We forgot to vote for 'Trail of the Month' so will do this via a on-line vote!
Next week we're at teh White Hart, Exeter. We will meet by the bridge from the Cathedral and Quay car park, that goes over Western Way (by the City Wall) - its at the junction of South Street with Western Way (red cross below). You are best parking at the Cathedral and Quay or Magdelen Street Car Park. After the hash, I've booked a table at the White Hart for Stix, Bollards, Speedy, Rocky, Howlin' Wilf, Spocky, Xbitz, Itzy, Son, English Muffin, Babybear, Blobby, Mrs B and Drop Off.
Note, its the same day as the Great West Run, so there will be some diversions in place - these might affect you if ou're coming from the north of the city (e.g. Cowley Bridge / Tiverton / Stoke Canon) or if you normally use Pinhoe Road. See https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/760f84_e1470ebd03d34ec7a3bb2595ddcff156.pdf
I can contact the hotel if there are late additions - please email me (Stix@CityofExeterH3.org.uk) or facebook me (leave a comment) if you want to come and I'll let you know what they say.
