A reported 26 hashers made the circle at the Church House Inn at Stokeinteignhead Monday evening in what assuredly were wet and potentially swamp like conditions. You know well that if I hadn't had to have supported Mavis by taking the shorts, I would have been first to the bar some 20 seconds after the hash set off.
Mavis's flour marks from Sunday had disappeared after more sustained rain from midday Monday necessitating a re laying of the trail in trusty Fullers Earth aka cat litter! Originally, the route was to have detoured to Mavis's drum in Rocombe for a RG and drinks stop but Mavis ruled this out due to the weather.A more detailed description of the hash will follow but well done to those hashers that braved the mud and the flooded sections of Ridge Road - Ridge Racers one and all (classic Playstation game you fools) and I have to admit that I actually enjoyed it ...
Our numbers were swelled in the pub later by quite a few hashers that either couldn't or wouldn't make the run: Winalot and Bogof, Winfield, Pottsie, Flowery, Bin Laden - to name a few from memory.
The landlord (Anthony) was generous in donating 3 pints for the downdowns even though we were well down on numbers.
A good evening and both Mavis and myself were very relieved to have laid a trail in the conditions.
