Run 764: WAM! The Anchor Inn Hillfarrance

Hares: WAM Hounds: Big Bird, Pink2lips, Why Bother, DitW, Phantom, TomTom and Martini. Down in the Woods arrived on time-just… shaken but not too stirred this week after puking little daughter delayed her planned pre run checks. It was a lovely rainy autumn evening for a hash in rural Somerset. An intrepid pack set off after 
WAM had given out dire warnings of rabbits on trail (should that read as rabbit holes on trail?), mud being a bit slippery (well isn’t it always?) and then added it was not too long and flour being maybe not too easy to see because of torrential downpour of rain during the afternoon (now….having done a few hashes … I know not too long can be a double bluff or open to interpretation), and (even in the dry and in daylight sometimes flour may not been seen very easily!). 
Right out the pub car park, took a sneaky path through the churchyard across a little paddock, past the piano tuners, around Court Farm, head towards the railway and then up left to road then not too sure where but ended up heading towards Pontispool and Harnham Farm where the pack did a quick footpath loop around this property before heading back along side elephant grass plantations.
There was a sheltered regroup under a tree for a sweety stop ( WAM had inside knowledge that the extreme sweet consumers of Bridgwater 3H were not attending this week so her supply of sweets was rather reduced this week- to two packets but we still had some left Ferret and JB !) 
It rained lots and lots, but we found the flour, no-one got lost, no-one slipped over in the mud or down a rabbit hole. To avoid the extremely muddy field the hare and the writer of this accurate account (local knowledge pays dividends here) took a little short cut at the end to arrive back for a well earned spell in the dry in the pub that has won the 2013 Somerset Best Pub Sunday Lunch Award (a trophy on the bar told us). At £9.95 I think but you need to book in advance as so busy now. Teenage off spring do the washing up/veg prep and ‘waiting’ here so they are in the know.  
Thanks WAM for your considerable efforts in extreme weather conditions to lay a hash for us all.
