This was back to familiar territory with our second visit in 2 weeks to the Black Bull, Bentham - with good reason, as good value food and beers are to be found there.

Wears the Soap, a mere stone's throw from his home, was under the experienced tutelage of Sir Tom Tom for his inaugural hareing experience. He gained fine instruction in the art of plentiful flour and careful marshalling of hashers.

 In addition to clear instructions as to how we should cross the golf course and subsequent field, there were discrete appearances of hares eager to make sure we remained on track!

There was the luxury of a beer stop on a Full Mooner and further marshalling. Despite this extreme vigilance by our hares, Upperskirt passed chalk while chatting (surely not!) and the same was reported by Lurch to account for his going off course on the rambo loop, misleading Hash Flash in the process.

 Front runners Mike & Lynne K provided delicious home grown damsons but remained hash nameless after 4 runs.

A fine evening and a good run - thank you Wears the Soap, may there be many more!
