PRECONDEROTOUS
A rare photo of Preconderotous - which this site is named after. Everyone told me that I 'couldn't' name a chihuahua that but it was meant to be. He answered to 'Precon' and his son had half his name - De Rotous ... so long ago has been their passing, but his name lives on for all to see ...

Apologies to Melvin and Cinderfella

LOOK, YOU REALLY ARE BEING GREEDY

Good!

"Come on! I can do this!"

...thinks Mr Softie....only problem is....he's had 5 pints waiting in the pub for two hours!

The moment that Mr Softie is rumbled..

...by the hash. Awarded a downdown for being the only 'sensible' hasher of the evening......stayed in the pub from 'On on' time.....

Pottsie steps forward to...

...take his position (sans trumpet) while his minder (standing left) watches intently in case of assassination attempts.... (double left click to get giant pic and that Flossie stare...)

I can't believe it, Melon Picker's....

Ye-es, well, as you can (or can't) see, we tried the flash by itself and this was the result...
fortunately, Fallen Woman was wearing reflective strips on her jacket or it would have been a totally black pic!

Go Muttley, go!

We're going to enjoy it!

Intermission

animal time....back by 11.20 pm

Thank you Numbnuts....

...for the Dingly Dangly comment! I told you we were 'live' didn't I!

ESPECIALLY FOR MISS WHIPLASH

THE THEME TUNE TO WHIPLASH*

Whiplash, Whiplash, Whiplash, Whiplash
In 1851, the Great Australian gold rush
The only law a gun, the only shelter wildbush
Whiplash, whiplash

The Mulga Woods and deserts, the stage thunders by
From Sydney to Camden and on to Gundagai
Whiplash, whiplash.....

* With Peter Graves (Mission Impossible - Jim Phelps and Captain Oveur - Airplane 1980)
theme sung by Frank (I Remember You) Ifield

Abridged report Jan 14

Half a mile from Torbryan and it started to rain quite heavily. As I turned right for the final approach to the church and Inn, I noticed a rapidly fading flour mark on the roadside. It was 6.55 pm and already there were few parking places to be found in The Church House Inn's (smaller even than the Wild Goose!) tiny car park.

The rain began to drum on my car roof and I had to work the windscreen wipers every ten seconds or so to see who was arriving. As a 'do my fair share' hare, my thoughts were with Archangel and Poacher...our hares for the night. Just at that moment Poacher ran up and said to Archangel: "Have you laid the first long?" Archangel's look told Poacher all, and Poach immediately turned and ran off down the road....

Considering the weather, the circle was well attended, added to by three guests (all non paying, if you're listening out there!) and of course many more who would only 'miraculously' appear at the bar.

Pleasantries duly dispensed, the pack got under way and it was a 'game of two halves' as at the first junction the Long/Short split occurred.

Now with no McWot to bend my ear, so to speak, I thought I would play the white man (for a change) and potter along for half a mile or so....BUT.....somehow I got nattering to Birdseye (yes, you will be my manager when I hit 'em hard, very soon now..) and Bobbiball. Before I knew it, I was at the 'make your mind up' crossroads one and a quarter miles from Torbryan!

It was 'ere 'Arry that I made my fatal error of the evening.....I asked POACHER if it was quicker to turn back or continue with the shorts.....WHATAMISTAKATOMAKA! Poacher rasped: "Go short! Keep together!" And I listened to him! I MUST BE A GRADE 'A' PILLOCK!

The shorts had fragmented and gaps were opening up......I ended up running with Numbnuts and Miss Whiplash. Miss Whiplash was injured slipping on the treacherous muddy wood section and I tried to cheer her (and Numbnuts) up with a few theme tunes from TV shows....though the only one they knew was 'Rawhide' ....'Keep movin' movin' movin' though they're disapprovin' - keep them dawgies movin' Rawhide.... DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND 'EM - JUST ROPE....' now look what you've done.... They had NEVER heard the theme tune to WHIPLASH!* or PALADIN (Have Gun Will Travel) or many others I tried, I can't be that old, can I?

We (me actually) had a bad moment when we entered Broadhempston en route to Ipplepen and I envisaged another 3 miles of running, but there on our left was the footpath over the fields to the pub!! Hoorah, hoorah! I recognised it and sped off across the fields shouting: "I know where I am now!" Sixty seconds later, I ran straight into an impenetrable hedge....derrrrrrr. Anti Social had appeared from nowhere plying his trade (making it up as he went). We stumbled and slid across the final few fields, the silence being punctuated by me calling out (every 30 seconds) "I'm not enjoying it!"

Just below the final brow the welcoming glow of the Church House Inn's lights could be discerned and we staggered through the final gate to be confronted by Pottsie. "You've been gone well over an hour, a man like you Campbell...what happened?"

But I'll tell you what, boys and girls, by the time I had got out of my sodden and mud spattered cycle suit and settled at the bar with my well earned pint of Betty Stoggs with a dash....my entire perception of what had gone before had changed.

I had had a blinding evening, a great run and had enjoyed every moment of it! But if you had asked me at any point of the run, I would have said I hated it!

Poacher arrived at the bar much, much, much later. He was freezing cold and quite plainly exhausted. How many times he had gone round the trail is anybody's guess, but I for one, take my yellow cap off to him and Archangel for their efforts, Sunday and Monday. True hashers both.

Two answers Mrs Doubthare: No, it's NOT a fake! And you echo Melon Picker's previous observation..."You obviously have a lot of time on your hands!"

Don't think you'll get away with that...

..John....they're sure to notice! Good to see you and Kerry last night, welcome to 2008.

Jan 14 Pottsie concedes defeat....

and admitted last night that his beloved trumpet may have played its 'Last Post'. The Great Hash God was putting a brave face on despite aides privately admitting that its loss was a bitter blow. Key witnesses Bubbles and Flip Flop were absent last night and could not be questioned by Hiatus* who are if anything, intensifying their search.....

*more on them later......

We're live at Cruisedog Towers!

20.18 Central Maidencombe Time

"Open wide please...."

...says Piddler. Sorry Piddler mate but the only reason we're putting this pic in is to advertise this year's
TORBAY HALF MARATHON.......Winfield (Race Director) said I must and as he's my dad I'll only charge £20 and NO vat.

It's all smiles now, but.......

...it was quite a torrid time for Miss Whiplash as she took a nasty tumble (in the slippery as shee ee eet wood section) and injured her wrist. Numbnuts and I heard a plaintive cry behind us and I answered (extremely irritably) ..."WHAT IS IT NOW!" Sorry, Miss Whiplash, didn't realise my love. Hope it's okay now.

Teapot susses out the newcomers..

...outside The Church House Inn. Seb (left) and Steve had reportedly encountered Archangel while he was laying the trail and were intrigued enough to come along for a try at the 'hashing game'. Good lads!

We'll be broadcasting 'live'...

...this evening...will post a time when we commence operations.....more pics from last night....

From rags to veritable riches....

Good afternoon campers. It was a good night, wasn't it? I'll get an abridged report posted later today. Just to tell you now that our pic vault is crammed with goodies, not only from last night but also some archive pics courtesy of Wigwam to be scanned.

Many thanks to Winfield, Cinderfella and Rambo for holding the Blog together with their brilliant contributions....without which we may well not have survived this far.....and also a huge thankyou to Flowery for his continuing hard work, behind the scenes, helping enormously with the Blog as well as rebuilding the www.tvh3.org.uk website from scratch....thanks lads, and thanks for everyone's support for a venture that really wasn't intended in the first place!

You've gotta be quick in this game..

...but your roving reporter got the shot you wanted......Deep Semen changes into the Hashit Shirt for his combined birthday/DD.....

Just one more.....

...and the girls will love this one......

It's all getting very technical....

Two Scoops negotiating a stile with muttley (forgotten his name!) and full equipment....military and survival....a girl's gotta be careful out there.... Oh, Karen - where's Mr Softie when you need him? (In the pub downing his second pint, actually....)

Poacher en routey...

Didn't realise it at the time, but was...

...this Bobby's stile stall? A down down just waiting to happen....

It's going to be a long night.....
