Words for ISCA Run on Wednesday 16th November 2011 at Haldon Hill Racecourse
For all that it was a clear starry night with just a hint of drizzle there was a surprisingly reduced turn-out. The circle gathered and Larks explained the format of the trail – 3 miles short, four plus miles long, various long/short opportunities, a couple of fish-hooks and a sweetie-stop. The assistant hares, PP and FF looked after the hashers and Larks looked after the walkers and sweets.
So off we went, longs to the left and quite a lot of shorts to the right. Shorts included Buzby and Screech who walked to the first check in order to claim the run then vanished, never to be seen again. I’m sure I saw X-bits at the start but then then she too vanished. Endo and I, along with Rise and Shine, stuck with Larks who was being pulled along by the ever-increasing power of his young dog Kura. I think Lark’s should get one of those mountain skate boards then Kura could happily pull him all round the trail.
We came to an open area in the woods for the sweetie stop and waited patiently, discussing women’s sense of navigation, zilch according to Larks, versus all the prowess of male hashers – many-fold according to Larks, although at least Rise-and-Shine got one in about the female ability to multi-task. Thus we passed the time whilst awaiting the arrival of the longs. We could hear them calling and see their lights through the trees, they just didn’t seem to be getting any closer so we opened up the jellies and conversation ceased – you cannot talk with a mouthful of glutinous sticky sweets.
At last the Longs arrived, grabbed their sweets and shot off quickly again, leaving us to follow on the shorter route. It may have been shorter in distance but in time it seemed much longer as we struggled to find the marks in over-grown, boggy tussocky areas of felled woodland. At last we were out, and with ever-dimming torches picked up a wide forest track back to the cars.
In the circle once more there remained only thirteen hashers, three of whom were hares so where did everyone else get to? Spocky-Bitz was RA for the evening and suitably thanked the hares, notwithstanding a potential domestic between FF and PP but actually caused by Lark’s placing a check in the wrong place. Larks and FF drank their beer but PP had to decline – something to do with having eaten marzipan. Damp Patch had a beer for his emerging Movember tache – good on you, keep it growing! Emelda had a beer for being an FRB, so what’s new? Tear-Arse and Mateus Rose didn’t get a down-down – you must make more effort to get noticed you know! Neither did Melon Picker nor Soapy although Havoc barked valiantly in full voice to ensure he was heard. There still remained one beer which was offered to Woof-Woof for apparently calling on when it wasn’t but being off the booze that night she offered it to me but I couldn’t face it and was about to offer it to Endo when Spocky-Bitz claimed it. It seemed he had placed his hand over a blob on top of a post to hide a mark but rumour had it no mark had been placed there so it must have a been a passing bird dropping – Ugh, Yuk, don’t ever shake hands with Spocky-Bitz again.

word for last week
Words 09/11/11
It had been a dark, damp and blustery day which was no doubt the main reason that only the most hardy hashers gathered in Magdalen street car park in Exeter (except Balls Up who isn’t hardy at all).
By the evening however the weather was settled and as Bell Toll welcomed us all to tonight’s hash energy levels and enthusiasm seemed high.
Spocky was pleased to be out, bouncing around like he had springs in his feet. His lovely wife X-bitz had been due to hash tonight instead of him, but instead decided to stay at home and go to bed with a little man inside her.
Quick Rukka must have been annoyed that Spocky had come in X-bitz’s place (!!) as he was trying to kick Spocky in the face. While attempting a high kick he only succeeded in spraying gravel in Spocky’s eyes. I don’t blame you for being annoyed Quick Rukka, we got the short straw getting Spocky instead of X turning up to the hash!
Bump and Grind was back from Afghanistan, sporting a rather large bullet hole in his leg. Good to see him back in (more or less) one piece and already running faster than most of us despite having recently been shot by the Taliban.
Imelda the hare set us on our way before disappearing to set some sections of the trail live. He must have had a good head start though as we didn’t see him until the sweetie stop.
Only the most foolish among us braved the long which was certainly a long one and a fast one. A false check that instead turned out to be a circle painted on the pavement nearly caused us to loose Menage a Trois, but we somehow kept together and made it over the wobbly bridge to the sweetie stop in a little playground by the river.
After the SS we crossed the river to the quay and headed up those oh-so-steep steps next to the Prospect. I was lucky and avoided the fishhooks so only had to do them once.
Our grand tour of Exeter then took us past ‘the house that moved’ and down past the dark and spooky catacombs. Our resident ghostbuster, Wide Receiver, wasn’t scared though as he had recently managed to exorcise a ghost from his bedroom simply by asking it to get lost. The Iron Bridge, High street and Cathedral green completed our route as we returned out of breath and glowing to the car park.
On in to GMH for a beer and a burger. Yum.
On On,
