last weeks words
lilo lil did getthe words to me on time however I have been so busy I forgot to put them up, sorry!
From the start we all checked in the wrong direction! After plenty of milling around the FRBs charged off unimpeded up a steep track, Puss and I panting over our lack of fitness (tho she has a reasonable excuse!)
A quick check took us onto a road, a devious dead end/backcheck and a distant baying of “on UP” was heard. Crashing faithfully into terrifically dense undergrowth, we were brought up short by unchartered territory and a healthy respect for our skin. Almost immediately the front group disappeared, bobbing away like Edward Scissorhands (or Phoebe from Friends!) and we were left blinking owlishly around for the next dot. Xbitz and Larks were particularly adept at gingerly picking their way through holly only to take one unwary step and vanish swearing from sight. Larks employed rugger tactics of old on a young sapling and looked just as surprised as we did. With more fastidious tiptoeing our way through the woods, we began to make up our own calls –“Whip back” being fairly common.
Apparently there were only fleeting glimpses of Quick Rukka and Woof Woof, as they took it in turns to plug badger holes!
After perhaps half an hour of perilous meandering (the penchant for uphill and brambles being helpfully paraded by Imeldas hemorrhaging) squeezing and twisting our way out, gently shepherded by Strongbow, we heard the distant clamouring for sweets. On sight of our head torches they kindly set up a tumultuous racket of “ON ON!”s, which although very interesting, didn’t speed us up any!
The regroup was well placed and welcomed, the FRBs having been there for only 5 or 6 minutes. Twice Knightly stopped abruptly not long after, and pensively pulled an entire branch out of her shoe. “I think I’ve stood on a nail” she explained, then held up an inch long viciously sharp thorn that had punctured right through her sole, resulting in a good sized blood blister. Her shoes were full of holes anyway!
At one point not far off that regroup the FRBs heard a rumbling noise, which were horses galloping around after hearing them. PP told everyone that it was buffalo.
A relatively safe second section of track took us to the Sweetie Stop, all of us balancing precariously on a BMX playpark, Quick Rukka showing off his agility, then and on home.
Chinese for £5 went down very well, masses of food and very prompt service (you should have seen PP’s crestfallen face) and our dinner mats told us our birth year animals. Funny how one can gloss over the less flattering aspects of our personalities and agree indulgently with the nice bits ;o)
Well done Imelda, another great night out with friends.
Quotes:
People began pairing off the ideal partners and Slippery could be heard calling “I need a female Ram, or a Boar!” (D’oh!)
A game of tell people which chocolate bar they’d be sprang up and Woof Woof was heard to say: “ Can I be a Kinder egg and have a toy inside me?”
Woof Woof as she disappears down a rabbit hole in the woods "MAN DOWN! aaaannnnnddd......UP again"
Wide Receiver is standing by a large holly bush waiting for Woof Woof. Woof Woof "Don't tell me that you're peeing there!!??" to which Wide Receiver replies "No, I'm holding it for you". (I think he meant the branch??)
PP to Wide Receiver as they're going through the woods, referring to her poxy inadequate head-torch "it's so hard, I'm use to a big one"

last weeks words
Wednesday 2nd February Rockbeare Hill cp
We arrived just as the rain had stopped, Lilo Lil couldn’t wait to tell Wide Receiver and FF all about my new shoes. I didn’t expect them to go unnoticed as they were bright yellow. It was a mild night compared to recent trails so no more frozen mud. It was time to circle up as we were welcomed by Bell Toll to run 737. Then it was over to Odd Bitz the hare.... It’s laid in flour (cheer), and on the right (cheer), It’s three and on (cheer), and two long short splits (cheer), two re-groups (cheer), one is a sweetie stop (cheer), “how many of us are there? I’ve only got 23 sweets” Luckily there were 19 of us.
We were set off into the woods to find our first check and then On On to a long short split. The longs met up with the shorts where the trail took us to a road, we ran down to find our next check, On On was called up into the woods. The trail led us out of the woods in to a cul-de-sac where we were greeted by the first of many fish hooks. As the FRB’s caught up we reached our first re-group. It didn’t take long for everyone to catch up, and then we were on a check. On On took us through the housing estate and another check to get up back in the woods. We were then brought out on to a road and the check took us up to the sweetie stop. Much to the FRB’s dismay the luxury sweeties were already being eaten by the other hashers before they reached the sweetie stop. PP and Busby swapped lights because she couldn’t see where she was going.
On On was up the hill and back in to the woods again there were lots of roots and twists and turns around trees before it was out on to a road, and down a steep hill were we found a fish hook right at the bottom; so it was back up the hill for 5 of us, Clever Dick was counting. When we returned we were on another check which took us to a T junction, where Quick Rukka found a large drawing of a school boy willy on the inside of a bus shelter, he liked it that much he had to go back for a second look to show more of us. On On was called down through West Hill, it was the most up market hash I’ve been on. The next check took us up a track to the second long short split. The long was very stile-ish taking us along farm tracks and country lanes and in to fields full of floating green eyes that sounded like sheep. After the fields it was back on a long track which led to the road, it was On Home to the car park. A brilliant trail, thank you Odd Bitz.
The Down Downs:
Odd Bitz – the hare
Imelda – New Shoes, again
Busby – Didnt bring his head torch
Clever Dick – For being a clever dick with fish hooks
Coffin – For arriving just in time for her down down

Awards night words.
AWARDS NIGHT 26TH JANUARY 2011
Last week was Isca awards night, and I got one of them
Scribe of the year I heard you cheer – so here I go again.
It started off a normal run - Great Western by the station
Through the streets of Exeter fantastic hash location,
The air that night was freezing cold, brass monkeys were around
We parked the car out on the road ‘cos car park cost £4!
Next to arrive was Spocky bitz, - On pavement parked his wheels
“Put your hands up” Bell Toll shouts “so we can order meals”
Beer and a curry for a fiver I think ill eat tonight
(I hadn’t eaten much all day so I knew I’d be alright!)
We gathered round and circled up was good to see so many
Out came Peanut from the pub (shed been to spend a penny!)
The trail of course was excellent - laid by Stix in flour
All on the right and clearly marked. It took about an hour
Off we all ran towards the town, and checking as we went
Some ran along and some went up - Which was the way he meant
Street lights lit our way en-route to Iron Bridge, that night
No time to stop and purchase trainers (although Imelda might)
Down the steps then up a hill to street Bartholomew
Near picture house, (just one seat left for me and Number 2!)
We’d try to see the Kings speech there, I’ll recommend to you
To see this film, a brilliant one - but book it at the Vue!!
Gravity took us the meandering route, through people lying dead
At re-group told now run the long or take the short instead…..
which ran along the river bank, the sweet stop we did reach
where waiting there with number 2, was Buzby and Screech.
Over the river, along the Quay and back towards the town
FF and PP driving past shout “see you at On Down”
Back at the cars we changed our clothes, the athletes checked their time
But I don’t care how long I took, I need larger and lime……
to accompany my chicken curry, at a price I could afford
we gobbled up then went upstairs to see who gets what award.
We sat in lines all formally - front table Bell Toll and Stix
Old awardees open envelopes - Larks Vomit takes the pics
It started out quite orderly polite claps for girls and boys
But laughter, shouts and whistles soon we’re making too much noise
Complaints below and from above, people asleep in bed
Barmaid sent upstairs to say “Please whisper now instead!!!”
It wasn’t easy to keep quiet ‘cos cheers they were deservin’
A popular harriet, lovely PP got voted Vestal Virgin
Wide Receiver then was voted Centurion of the year
Well deserved, a brilliant hasher, had enormous cheer
Newcomer went to Lilo Lill, (voted by the males)
FF and PP got a shirt for laying the best trails
The On Down of the year went to Topsham Rugby Club
The food is great, the welcome friendly – better than a pub
Gm’s award to Night Screecher for doing more than all
And Woof Woof gets the toilet seat to hang up on her wall.
And not forgetting little me - I drank my yard of beer
But we are All special hashers and we All make a special year!

another great trail from Odd-Bitz tonight, thank you.
I havebeen set the words for last week so here they are. Cheers Puss.
On receiving a call of help from Coffin and telling her why I had to pass, I offered up the assistance of the lovely Boots… (I think he always wanted to lay Coffin!) We all arrived and parked up and got ready for the off! Narcissus arrived late to the circle and as soon as he was ready we were called to check by Coffin and Boots and off we went!
I being slightly incapacitated having both wrists in casts from the escapades of Soapy’s 50th birthday hash and barn dance I have enlisted the help of Boots to write the words.
So of up the cliff everyone ran, (except Screech, Bell Toll and myself) Tamper calling on on until he came to a back check very close to the obelisk, muttering he had to run back. On on through fox holes and down to the roundabout where me and Screech found a check…. sadly it was a check for later on.. Whoops sorry for confusing Spockey and Tamper!
We crossed over to the lifeboat centre and the trail hit the beach a select group of walking wounded headed up the promenade and on on was called to the cricket club. On to a long short split, only 3 people did the longs and these brave souls were Stix, Spockey and Boots. They caught us up running behind the cricket club. After Coffin helped me down a frozen slope we found the sweet stop!! Xbitz was feeding me sweets and we started to play on the climbing frames.
On on was called as we ran across the mere. A few potholes and a lot of fishhooks later we made it to the lifeboat centre. Here there was a long short split. The longs headed up Gore lane and up on to the cliffs, Buzby running like a trooper! After some evil fish hooks one by one they all made it to the closing circle.
Whilst waiting for Woodpecker, Spocky ‘borrowed’ a lighter of some ladies and lit two Chinese lanterns and sent them out across the sea. I hope everyone made a wish!
No. 2 took the reigns and did the Down Downs;
HARES:Coffin and Boots in Puss
SS:Tamper (no vegetarian sweets! Tut tut!)
Sorry I can’t remember what its for:
Stix
On down to the Powder Monkey where we got a very cheerful reception and great guest ales, a great night had by all! Thank you to Odbitz for popping in and saying hi!
