A blue sky day looked warm but was cold in the shade after a frost that had
done for the runner beans. There was no doubt that this hash was going to be
pancake flat, what was unexpected was the popularity of the carpark with two
soccer matches taking place which caused a shortage of chariot space
The hares warned us of busy roads and mentioned something about prizes for those who might bother to collect little pictures that had been hidden near falsies, however since a sizeable minority of the pack did not know what “falsie” meant, Spiderman attempted a crash course in hash marks which was amusing but had little effect, ending with "don't worry, you will soon pick it up" Then we were off and straight away a bunch headed by John Nash and Cath were lured into
taking a long falsie north towards the lakes, the rest found true trail west on a long
busy main road pavement slog to the Hunston roundabout, with Brylcream and Jerry up front
Some easy checks then took us back over the main road and along the path to Church Farm where
we unexpectedly reached a dead end regroup in the garden of the Manor House for a photo call
for the pack posing amongst the wire meshed models of animals. An interesting collection that
would be worth a return visit for a more leisurely viewing
Eventually we emerged to a check at St Stephen's with Spiderwoman and Tigger delighted to be
amongst the first to arrive
Heading north we then crossed the main road again and soon found our way to the on-in through
the wood in the south eastern corner of the rec after one hour and thirtyone minutes
There were nominations for Tigger for being all too fit for a lady of a certain age, Spiderwoman for something, Mussolini for being absent , but the Hash-It was awarded yet again to Brylcream because it annoys him so much. Bambi. As Bambi did not go to the pub he failed to mention that we enjoyed a brew at the Walnut Tree where the Landlord made us most welcome even giving up a table which was set for the Sunday lunch.
