2026 Past Runs

This hash will be on the shortlist for the wettest of the year. Up until 10.50 most Hashers hadn’t arrived. We thought they had had a fit of common sense but most were lost.
Three long short splits with the shorts and walkers heading down the lane and the longs headed down the field and into very boggy terrain. Both longs and shorts picked up the flour before heading across the railway for the second long short. Very wet and slippery fields were then crossed before emerging at the egg stop before heading back across fields to North Boduel Farm. 
Back at the farm there were down downs for the hares Get One Free, Godmother and Mystic Meg, and also for All Shook Up for a spectacular fall and to Ketchup Kisses for 25 runs.
Camping stoves were set up and ingredients mixed and pancakes enjoyed. No pancakes were dropped and probably good news as the 3 second rule would not apply. Brown Nose took a fall with frying pan in hand but managed to save the pancake. There was a lot of shivering going on in the barn with some hasers too cold to get changed. Here’s looking forward to warmer drier hashes. Thanks to all involved for a great hash.

29 Hashers turned out for Hornby and Sniffer’s run on a very rare dry spell in Cornwall. Apparently it has rained every day for 36 days!
3 long/short splits, a virtual back check, a treasure stop, lots of mud and electric fences was the pre run briefing.
The long was quite Rambo in places with low, barbed wire fences and low branches to navigate, all whilst trying to keep your footing on the slippery mud on a steep bank. Think Hornby is forgetting how old some of us Hashers are! Luckily the longs had Pedigree Chum to do a lot of the checking. Lovely to see signs of spring breaking through: catkins and snowdrops everywhere. There was also a lot of wild garlic starting to peep through the sodden soil.
The shorts was also long, finishing at a similar time around 12.30. 
Sniffer did an excellent job helping the youngest Hashers across the raging streams. 
Back at the on down at The Red Lion, down downs given to the hares, Hornby and Sniffer, Rubber Legs for traffic management, Alfie for 25 runs and given the hash name ‘Mr Chatterbox’ and Pedigree Chum for front running.
Must say that although The Red Lion may not be the most salubrious of establishments, the beer is excellent and, at £3 a pint, a good choice of venue. Keeps Hash Cash happy too!
A great run. A big thanks to the hares.

Waterproofs were the attire or the day with the visibility at the start limited and rain with warnings of the two marked viewpoints may be a little optimistic. You could tell it was bad because Hornby was wearing a jacket and long pants and Godmother in a fleece. B&M probably regretted wearing shorts after taking a tumble at the start resulting in cut knees and hand and also a broken phone.
Fortunately the poor visibility improved to be able to witness both viewpoints over the spectacular Delabole quarry. Underfoot most of the footpaths resembled streams and where there wasn’t flowing water there was mud. The longs had a photo opportunity at a waterfall (see photos from Cyril the Squirrel). Great run despite the weather. 
A warm fire greeted us at The White Hart Inn and the number of diners assembled for the roast surely was greater than those on the run. Probably the sensible choice.
Down downs were awarded to the hares B&M and Shake em Up. Scarlet Moggie for 1750 runs. Spin the Wheel for having to go back to retrieve her socks that were left on the car roof, and the return of Invisible Man from his travels.
Thanks for a great run laid and hared in challenging conditions.

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
