Well, what a grand turn out of hashers for my eagerly awaited return to hashing after an 18 month AWOL stint...actually i don't think my absence had been noted, but what a good turn out anyway for probably our last full mooner pre head torch season!

Hares Cyber and Anti septics gathered us in the car park of the Kings Arms, scooped up a few extras from the bowling club match who were also gathering in the car park, we were debriefed (knickers remained on!) and then On-on on our way we went. A bit of road and then the off roading began. Rolling pastures, limestone pavements, woodland tracks, sedate river banks, turnip fields...beautiful scenery to enjoy the fine evening amongst, whilst the clear moon slowly rose above Farleton Knot...quite frankly it was a hideous evening r*n!

3 main injuries were sustained during the course of the hash. Upper Skirt took a skid down the river bank narrowly missing a soaking in the river Beeth. Little Smarty was pushed in a nettle patch by the hash-hound 'Monkey'...it was the only way I could guarantee that I wasn't out r*n by a 6 year old!!! and Smarties grandad (sorry I missed ya name) lacerated his arm whilst fighting...with a hawthorn hedge, the surgeon on hand considered amputation but opted for cleaning and dressing the wound with cow bandages instead! We wish them all a speedy recovery.

We would also like to welcome Mandy, who after her official naming ceremony shall from this day forth be known as 'Tongue in Cheek'. Congratulations and welcome...I hear beer shampoo is very good for your hair.

Till next time, hopefully it wont be another 18m!

On-on
