A small but select group of hashers collected outside the pub. It must be noted that the witches, well two of them, were first to arrive. Tenzing gave us instructions and pointed us back to the main street, where we crossed the road and headed off down a side road. After a short distance we went right and found ourselves following the moat beside Stogursey Castle.
‘On on’ was called and we soon left the castle behind and set off across fields to the right. After a short way we were following a narrow track, no flour! We retraced our steps and soon found the trail back to the main street. Then on again this time over the local football field. Two fields later we are struggling again to find the trail until Bat eyes calls, I think he used local knowledge to find the way. Eventually we come out by the Pub in Shurton, no wonder Bat eyes seemed to know the way!
After a short stretch of road running we run along the edge of a wood to the regroup where we find Bangkok and Tenzing waiting for us with the sweeties. It’s now not far back across the fields, past the sewage works and into a small estate of new boxes, oops, sorry, houses.
This was the first hash for months where we needed torches for most of the way, but we soon got used to it and the night vision returned.
Thanks for a good hash, at least it stayed dry.
