#1105 Uphams, Woodbury Common - Tampa - 21 May 2023

There were Police everywhere on the Common, and not many spaces to park. That was because there was one of those old fashioned Raves just next door to the car park. Apparently young people still do that - I thought it was a 90s thing. Anyway, Spooky (being the right side of 50, just) went to see if he could join in. But they were on lying down still suffering from the night before, pretty much like any hangover hash.  One couple approached us asking whether we new how to get ticks out... Nurse Peacock and Dr Wide to the rescue, with a credit card:

As the bass continued banging away, Wide welcomed the pack, and Tampa introduced his birthday trail, as the police watched on... Speedy wasn't listening and instead was dancing away.

The trail itself was getting close to 5 miles, but on what was the warmest Sunday this year, felt a lot longer. It was definitely a trail of two packs, with the longs and shorts only meeting each other at the sweetie stop. Finding marks was definitely a weak point for Bollards and Wide, both of whom managed to delay the longs by at least 5 minutes because neither of them saw the dot.  Apparently it wasn't there earlier...

Then Paperwork took us to the regroup at the sweetie stop, which wasn't. Actually it was a Duke of Edinburgh group. I think he scared them. They called Wide a Gruffalo because he appeared from the bushes, having a wee, but when he told me I thought he said Brothel-lo, which is something different (a furry?!).

After the sweetie stop, all I can remember is Wide talking about Imelda's wanking injury! Once back at the car park, the rave was over, with around 20 of the hangers on waiting to sober up before travelling home to their mummies and daddies. 

We circled up as they and the police watched on, and sang happy birthday to Tampa.

On on to next week, which is at Zoot and Hotlips' home in Kingsteignton for a BBQ. Don't forget to rate the hash https://cityofexeterhhh.blogspot.com/p/rate-hash_3.html?m=1

And next week, let's have one of the short/walkers writing the words, so we hear about them!!
