Westcombe, Alphington: 9th February

This was Blobhoblin's birthday hash, and a small but "elite" group of hashers gathered outside his home.  Hole-in-one blocked the road to Blobby's neighbours with her car door while she changed - completely unaware.  While I (Stix) attempted to "shiggy-up" my new trainers with weeds from the gutter.

Blobby promised us a historical tour of Alphington, and we visited the old prison, including a small gate where prisoner's exited before they were hung, railway cottages and bridges, a corn mill, and the garage where Shakespeare got his car serviced (might have got that last one confused).  The sweetie stop was on Alphinbrook, sadly flowing too fast to hash down in to the village.  After the pack enjoyed beer and pizza - thanks to Mr and Mrs Blobby for their hospitality.

Joney's Cross: 2nd February

Another chilly one this week, but most hashers seemed to have arrived early.  The hares, PP and FF, holders of Hare of the Year, both had the lurgy, and made a note of not promising an award winning trail! Bean bag bought some Chinese lanterns (made by Spongeblob, Imogen and Mrs Blobby) to celebrate the Year of the Whores (or was that horse?), and gave these to the children.  We welcomed back the family of "Dave from Dawlish", and his clan had swollen.  But Dave himself was absent.  He missed yet another shiggy trail, with Itsybitz enjoying the puddles again.  The sun came out at the sweety stop - where Strawberry Softies made a welcome appearance.  The dry-roasted peanuts were back for the circle, and much enjoyed with a beer after a 4.3 mile trail (map below).

The Obelisk, Mamhead 26th Jan 2014

Another extremely shiggy trail laid by Groucho and Beanbag, who filled in for Paraprick because he was off on his travels.  There was some pretty rough terrain, and it rained for most of the trail.  But a pack of 23 hashers, including the family of "Dave from Dawlish" enjoyed the lay.  Just like last week, lots of splashing too, with Itzybitz taking over from Speedy.  And it was Fruitybitz's last hash before setting off for pastures new.  Good luck!
2 comments need to be made about food.  Firstly, Beanbag was seen eating an apple at the sweetie stop - outrageous.  Secondly, our apres hash nuts were upgraded from tesco value salted peanuts to dry roasted - very nice.
