Run 757- WAM! The Dolphin Wellington

  

                        Run 757  Hare WAM.  Welly Sports Centre On Inn The Dolphin 

 Hounds, JB, Compo, Big bird, Phantom, PL2, Baby Spice, Gentleman’s Caller, Withy, Hansom, Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Grasshopper, Brush off, DITW, And in the pub Why Bother. 

All gathered in the Welly car park and gave a warm welcome to Compo and myself (visiting from TH3 the Dolphin is our local so we thought it only polite to join you). Instructions were given by the hare, something about closed paths alternative routes ,” two and on” etc., then off for a prompt start past the football pitch through the park  a quick tour of town and on to the first illegal act of the night. An 8 foot high fence across the path with big signs on it saying

              “Danger, Construction Site, Keep Out, Path Closed For Safety” 

                                                                       This as we all know means

  “Please Come In, Feel Free To Wander Around, Just Don`t Nick The Batteries Off Our JCB”.    

Having read a few of BTPHHH`s newsletters I now realize that an archaeological dig is not something any of you could bypass, so on for our second illegal act of the night “Look” said WAM “ There`s a big hole full of old things that Baldric and his mates are trying to save for future generations of hashers, lets run round the site and see if we can`t get nicked by the local rozzers”.”Dam” said Compo “No JCB`s ,and my camper really NEEDS a new battery”. So after sneaking around for a bit and looking at “Some very interesting old walls” we legged it off for our third illegal act of the night. But this one was different, proper spikes, barbed wire and trains to play with. The hash was now split those that got across before the 8.15 Plymouth to Paddington and those that had to hide in the bushes and wait until it had passed. Reunited we came to a check at the top of the hill that sent us off left into the dark dark woods to more checks across the bridge (too dark for Pooh sticks) and up to Nynehead for a very well observed sneaky fishhook. On thru a few fields to a regroup. Here PL2 raised the ugly question of the newsletter ,suddenly for the first time that night there was complete silence, not a word was spoken ,You could hear the Moon, occasionally when I see a maiden in distress my gob works before my brain and so I volunteered .WAM`s email address was suggested as a point of contact for said scribbling’s ,I however suggested that her phone number would be ample reward, this left WAM giggling and PL2 confused (she finally caught on)The On Inn was less incident filled than the first half, along the path of brambles past the Malthouses,to more fishhooks(not quite so well observed) across the road to Runnington ,round into the back of Welly on more footpaths and river banks and back to the car park .Quick change(at home)then to the Dolphin to find Why Bother with a pint complaining of injuries received.

      A very nicely set run, with just enough help from the hare to keep it all flowing.

                                                            Thank you WAM
