Wednesday at the Berry Head Hotel with South Hams

An 'interesting' experience. An extremely rare excursion for your beloved Pillock to another hash. The effort was made, however, to support (My Local Sheriff) our raiding party to promote upcoming 1234 Weekend.

*NB Before I forget, the trail was very well laid indeed and I enjoyed what I did of it!

To spare you an extended essay, here are the bare elements of the exercise:

Arrived early.....'explored' (hash busting) 40 mins /loosened up achilles.....weather took turn for the worse......South Hams arrived......about 20 of them/a dozen of us......very strange being at a different circle/felt uneasy.....intended repairing directly to bar, but....Flowery good company and actually got me running for a change.....got out to nearly farthest point but forced to abort as achilles started to tighten.....legged it back down the tarmac lane, unaware that it was taking me away from the Berry Head....20 mins later, getting very wet/achilles locking up....getting worried...asked three different people how to get to the Berry Head Hotel, but every time it got farther away.....desperate now as I could hardly walk/dragging right leg along sideways.....
then...BEEP BEEP white van draws alongside and there's Cinderfella! He had just finished a job in Brixham and had spotted the Pillock weaving erratically along the road. Going way out of his way, Cinders gave me a lift back to the Hotel........and I was still a long way off, don't know how I would have got back without him, thanks 'ol son.

As I said...an 'interesting' evening, but one I won't be repeating......

Postscript: At the downdowns (half pints!) and though my disaster was well documented....not a sausage (or even a mention) ......and to add insult to injury, a spare half pint went to a hasher who had sat at the bar all evening......sigh Thanks again Cinderfella.
