Trail: Another excellent turn out this evening for our army hash – around 30 adults, a couple of kids, all kitted out in camo gear, plus the usual pack of hounds – even Charlie had his warpaint on!  First up, the assault course in the field beyond the pub car park – the tyres, then the scramble net where Shag and Batman took no prisoners and superbly soaked all those going under!  We almost had a mishap when Babooshka managed to run free but Hot Lips caught her before she went AWOL.  Off down the road and into the boggy fields, just one hash halt this evening with a fine selection of sweets.  Down through the dense undergrowth, slip-sliding down and round to the next assault - the waterfall climb.  Half the hashers climbed it and came back down through the caves (Captain Caveman was in his element!), the rest of us just posed for photos at the bottom!  Winding back down through cornfields and road to the river Teme at Stanford Bridge where the final assault was to cross the river.  A few tried and (just about) succeeded, Captain Caveman almost got washed away but regailed this as the best fun ever!  We almost lost the virgins too, as the rope across the river gave way, but all were safe (thankfully).  Ironically, we did manage to lose 2 hashers who had broken free from the platoon.  The rest of us made the trip back up the hill on the tractor trailer with a bit of a sing-song along the way too!  A welcome warm up from the woodburning stove back at the Bait, some lovely food, lovely beer, lovely army hash cakes from Major Bills, presents for Luke and a heartfelt text from Crossdresser all the way from the Isle of Skye.  Truly a hash to remember!

Down downs: awarded by Doggy Fashion to Corporal Shag and Major Bills for their original hash; Virgins Rosie and Cliff (glad they weren’t washed away), visitor Dangerous Dave (very aptly named for tonight’s trail); Cyclopath and Get Down Shep for going AWOL; Hard On just for being himself and finally to Italian Job as it’s his leaving do.

Doggy Fashion’s Drill for Italian Job

I don’t know but I’ve been told

When Luke was born they broke the mould

Can he be Roberto’s son?

Maybe the wife was having some fun

He likes a game of towel flick

But don’t catch your dad on his dick

We will miss his buff torso

When he is a commando

They’ll be farting in the dorm

It will keep you really warm

But don’t bend over in the shower

Or you’ll be in there for an hour

He has even learnt to iron

He’ll be sharing a bunk with Private Ryan

Up all night rubbing his gun

There’s no time for girls or fun

He has been a superstar

In his career he will go far

We can’t wait ‘til he’s on leave
When he comes back we’ll be really pleased
