Run 741 Library Car park Nether Stowey



Hare: - TenzingHounds:- JB, WAM, Bangkok, Ferret, Phantom, Grasshopper, Pink2Lips, Martini, Dormouse, S App, Chris, Mark, Liz, Dripped on, Nick, Baby Spice & new runner Angela.Pub Why Bother. (Coz he didn’t)



Well this is my first time writing the words for the hash so before I start I would like to apologise if it is awful and if my run turns into a total farce I can only say that I am sorry.
After arriving at Nether Stowey Library car park in the pouring rain where, to our amazement, WAM and JB had cycled and Martini arrived on time!  Now the Hashers, all eager to set off, realising that we had a new runner (Angela who was encouraged to come by Baby Spice) and the Hare was nowhere to be seen.  A couple of minutes later a very wet and bedraggled Tenzing appeared around the corner telling us its ”two and on” and that he will catch up later.
So off we go (I will confess now that I generally have no idea when we run of where we are and the names of places so for the words I shall just express what we ran through) out of Stowey and then through some fields and then up to Stowey Castle where we all spread out to siege it and find the trail again. We then ran up a steep slippery hill where Bangkok took a short cut which turned into a long cut.  Further on we had a impromptu then down the other side the hill through a small ford and then through some more fields.  We then ran through the woods above Over Stowey where a belated Baby Spice joined us.  Then on down into Over Stowey where we stopped for a regroup.  After chomping on sweets and chocolates, we set off again only to lose the trail shortly after, though Ferret actually found the trail and the rest of us just didn’t hear him. Finding the trail again we ran along the road and then across some more fields, one with a lot a horses in so we treaded carefully not wanting to repeat past incidents where we were blamed for horse rustling and accidentally letting them into the adjacent field.  We then ran through Stowey Park and on inn.  Back at the car park WAM had a puncture which Martini kindly fixed.  Then in the Pub we found Why Bother and a folk band.  Later on we were invited by the band to join them by playing some spare instruments, of course we were all ecstatic about this and joined in making an out of tune, out of tempo racket. 
I would like to thank Tenzing for a thoroughly enjoyable if very wet run.
It was also expressed that we didn’t stop to have a history and geography lesson about a local landmark so I have taken the time to find a website with some information on Nether Stowey Castle so no one misses out.
