2026 Past Runs

After the terrible winds and rain this was the calm after the storm, nice to see the sun. But the legacy from that storm was the very high river levels which meant a hasty change to the route for safety reasons.
Godmother hared the shorts and Biscuits the longs. Three long short splits and a treasure stop where the reason for the diversion could be seen, a bridge overtopped by the river. Shoes and boots were lost in the mud before we ascended back to high ground and the route back to the farm.
Back at the On-Down at the Bowling Club a fine spread was laid out and a warm welcome from club members.
Down downs to the Hares Godmother and Biscuits. Also to Mandrake for loosing both shoes and completing 25 runs. Carnage for 1850 runs. Birthday wishes to Luv A Bull.
A grand day out!

We set off from the village hall with false trails in most directions before Mystic Meg eventually picked up the trail out of the village and into fields. Longs and shorts followed the same route looping around the cricket ground and back into the village. Lots of false trails again before picking up the trail up Minehill and back into fields across to Trewint Road where the majority of the shorts gave up the opportunity of a short cut to remain on the long. Mud this week was in short supply, though Hornby looked like he wasn’t taking any chances with hashing in wellies but admitted he had forgotten his trainers.
Back at the Legion bar in Liskeard. Down downs were given to the Hares Hide ‘n Seek and Sun Dodger for another great run. Also to Black Shadow and Cyril the Squirrel for too much loving up on the run. Black Shadow dug the hole she was in deeper by explaining she had goaded Cyril the Squirrel with “come and have a go if you think you are hard enough! “
Down downs for the On Sec for officially becoming a pensioner this week and Ketchup Kisses for stopping on route for a pee. It’s not just the older Hashers!

Scouted twice, laid twice. Even Mystic Meg knew the route. Wellies were the order of the day due to the mud and standing water with persistent drizzle. Short wellies seemed a good compromise until the water came over the top or got sucked of your feet. Three long short splits and a mix of woodland and fields. Everyone returned back at their cars within an hour and a half for a quick change and the comfort of the bar.
Down downs for the hares Godmother, Mystic Meg, Kiss Me, B&M and Falsie. Capt’n Oats for 1100 runs and Wigan Whippet for his birthday. 

The staff at Great Trethew did an excellent job of turning the venue around to accommodate 50 Hashers. Starters and mains were served before the raffle was drawn and finished off with sweet and coffees. The worst of the rain held off until we left.

Thanks to everyone for their help to make it a great day.

Despite the snow on Bodmin Moor there was a surprisingly good turnout. Only one challenging section on the road up to Long Tom before arriving to a winter wonderland at Minions.
After marking maps with all the control points five teams set out on time from The Hurlers and Hornby set off alone forty minutes later. There were wonderful views in all directions only spoiled by a naked photobomber at Gold Diggings. 
Back at Higher Gonamena we were greeted with mulled wine and mince pies and clotted cream. Also a home made Christmas cake from Sniffer. Down downs to the hares Rangi and Forest. A down down to Mystic Meg for 1050 runs. And to the winning team B&M, Little Bo Peep, Sniffer, Shake Em Up and All shook up. It was nice to see Midriff and Sky
