NB JB described this hash as "a thinking man's Hash"  - should we name Justin Rodin ...... ?

15 eager hounds gathered in the car park behind the Inn, no sign of the hare and much discussion of no flour spotted anywhere en-route. Just as we were thinking it may be a no show, Justin appears at almost 7.30 on the dot, still red faced and out of breath from laying his premier hash.No time for pleasantries as we are led straight away round the front of the Inn for instructions of 2 & on, beware of slipping in mud & water. And then we are off, over the road and straight onto a footpath crossing a line of trees, and then through the woods by the side of Woodram Copse.After some fast paced running, we are quite spaced out & WAM/JB decide to stop for an impromptu regroup. Unfortunately Ken hasn’t realised this and continues ahead shouting on-on for some time until we finally get his attention, much to the amusement of the rest of us.We soon get underway again passing Madger’s Copse and heading towards Blagdon Hill, many of us noticing that we seem to be descending so far that we will need a helicopter to get back up to the pub. After a short while we realise that 1 of the hounds has vanished into thin air. It can only be Phantom earning her name. We are duly informed by our hare that she isn’t feeling to well and has taken a short cut back to base.We then head towards Priors Park Wood where Gent Caller earns his name by offering to run in front of his partner in crime, Baby Spice to clear the way for her. What about the rest of us PaulIn the woods it’s time for a regroup where Justin has treated us to some quality, branded sweets, nothing like the cheap Lidl crap that I will be providing! Then we are off again finally ascending the 2000ft (or thereabouts) that we had ran down earlier passing by Holly Bush Park and finally making our way for a well-earned ale back at the Inn.Inside, WAM is beating £15 out of each of us for the forthcoming meal and hash t-shirt. Anybody who hasn’t replied, beware!We would all like to thank Justin for a truly excellent, enjoyable first hash!
