#1097 Cowick Playing Fields - Brillo - 26 March 2023

We didn't really know whether Brillo was going to be at the start of the hash, having left a green marker on the ground when he'd laid the day before to let us know where to start. That had been nicked, and there had been torrential rain last night, but we did get the hare after all (complete with tinny!), A big achievement after he'd caught the 8am train from the muff, on the morning after the clocks went forward.

The first part of the trail led us round the playing fields with a detour loop around the bowling green, where the FRBs followed the trail anticlockwise rather than clockwise,. We thought we were going to end up back at the cars after going all the way round, but we'd missed a 'rain-effected' dot that led is up a narrow path into the houses. So having back-tracked a long way, we headed up towards Cowick Lane, crossed the road and followed a track that then led us past the allotments. A few checks (mostly washed out) and a long time searching for marks after we'd run through a washed out cross, and eventually we were at the sweetie stop. We'd lost a few of the walking trail but this point as it had started to rain, and with a missing trail, they'd decided to head straight home. But they missed out on ferrero rocher!

From there it was on down Dunsford Road, and straight home in about 10 minutes.

Thanks to Brillo for letting the trail. I assume he may have ended up in the Spoons?

On on to next week when we're at the Imperial car park in Exmouth. And don't forget to rate this week's hash https://cityofexeterhhh.blogspot.com/p/rate-hash_3.html?m=1
