26th October - Fruity Bitz - East Budleigh

It was another great turnout , for Fruitys' birthday hash, with over 20 hashers meeting on a soggy Sunday. We set off and quickly split up on a long/short split, which Tuned In didn't realise and accidentally did the long, it must be the blonde hair! We weren't too successful in our checking out and spent ages at the next check trying to find our way! After running for about 20 minutes, we met back up with the shorts, hoping for the sweetie stop, unfortunately not though.

From there we set off through the farm and traipsed through a lot of poo! It was there we came face to face with the culprit, a slightly bemused cow! She was so scared of us, she did a big poo right there in front of us! With a little push from Tuned In and some herding by Fruity, she went back through the gate into her field.

On On up a big hill to another regroup in a very scenic spot, hoping for the sweetie stop again...still no! On through a part of what turned out to be Woodbury Common, that I'm sure most of us have never been before, ending up in a very narrow path with plenty of shiggy. The first lot everyone negotiated quite well, the second, not so well! One poor hasher, named Blow Job by a bash she used to go to, got totally stuck! Spocky Bitz being the gentleman he is(!!!) attempted to give her a hand but just pulled her over so she got even more dirty. He got his comeuppance though as he was then firmly stuck and it was very entertaining watching him trying to get out. Most people would say it served him right for splashing everyone when he had to go back through it because of a fish hook.

On a little further and, yippee, the sweetie stop. Some very yummy lollies if I do say so. After mum telling us not to run with lollies, we set off back towards home. Back through the lane of poo, minus the cow, then OH to the car park. Most of us stopped in the brook and washed off our legs and shoes.

Including Bag Lady who picked the worst day EVER to wear brand new trainers! The fines were duly handed out including one for Tampa who was the only person who forgot to put his clock back! On On to next weeks joint hash with Bridgwater at Trenchford Resevoir.

19th October - Cathusalem + Iron Lady - Stoneleigh Holiday Park

It was a chilly day as the hashers arrived in dribs and drabs at Stoneleigh. It did appear though that everyone arrived almost on time despite some confusion over the late change of venue! There were well over 20 hashers gathered for the hash circle where we spent 10 minutes receiving all hash instructions! Were we ever going to leave the car park some wondered?! Finally we were called On On and set off into the wind, round in a big circle and then onto a hash halt outside Cathusalems' abode where there were all manner of refreshments laid out, whisky, southern comfort, port, red wine, what a treat, thankyou Cathusalem!

The hash then set off again, through the donkey sanctuary and onto open fields. Poor little Itsy Bitz was suffering with a cold and this wind wasn't helping so X Bitz and Fruity Bitz had to turn back at this point.

After a couple of checks we found ourselves running out towards the cliff edge, luckily spotting the hash halt just before the edge! We had a regroup here before heading onto the long short split. The short heading straight down the cliff path onto the beach at Weston, the long heading inland before joining back up with the shorts. Meanwhile Spocky had run back to check out what had happened to the other Bitz.

Onto the sweetie stop on the beach where we all admired the view and scoffed sweeties. The only way from here was up and up and up! Onto another long short split and still going up. we ended up at Weston CP from there making our way back through the donkey sanctuary and OH to Stoneleigh. Spocky made it back in good time with the shorts, despite having taken a large detour!

Beer and nuts were consumed while Odd Bitz duly handed out appropriate (and inappropriate) fines. We also had a naming for one hasher who made the mistake of saying she still had no hash name despite coming regularly! That was silly, yep, she was named, 'Comes Regularly'! On On to next weeks hash at East Budleigh Village Hall.
