Lunchbox @ The Wheatsheaf
|
20.09.11
|
Darker nights are looming fast, means Hashers not turning out in
big numbers. Just a smattering of ten hardy souls tonight, nine of them
men……surprise surprise even though a lovely clear night for running. Great to
see Daffy & Little Bear back with us again this week cheery as always,
bless them. Lunchbox did his job well, tricking us when we thought we were
going into Nonsuch Park, and on virtually every other clever check too, the
pesky varmint! Much checking by all, otherwise, here till next Tuesday! Did you know ?......The Little Park of Nonsuch as Henry VIII used to call it, in the
1540’s, was his personal deer hunting park. The Wheatsheaf pub has stood on
this site, opposite the Hogs Mill river since….wait for it……..1456……only 555
years ago!! On on, till our next visit to this cosy little nook. |

Tight
Git @ The Monkey Puzzle |
27.09.11 |
12 good men turned up for this one, plus 2 ladies Spanish
Mistress & Naked Chef. Our hare sent us up into the woods alongside the
perimeter fences of Chessington World of Adventures, no Dale Farm travellers
in sight! We moved on, ever upwards,
up market in fact, landing in Claygate where the door knockers say hello to
you, and electric garage doors wave at you! Farmers calling the police, not withstanding, we continued our
journey torches a plenty, through clever winding footpaths, after Tight Git
had tricked us again and again, clever hare this one. Proud Spanish Mistress, told a tale, she
said she has run so hard, that she had grown BALLS on her metatarsals…what a
man!...woman I mean! Our adventures took us through Churchfields Rec (Anna B,
please note) and Crayke Hill, no viewpoint was missed. Our reward for our very good checking, was
platefuls of chips, from our generous hare, which were gobbled up eagerly.
Great Bear Rupert, we are pleased to hear is recovering from a muscle tear
and was able to run freely tonight, good news indeed. See you next week! Don't miss out on the fun! |

Spanish
Mistress and Mark @ The Jolly Farmer |
4.10.11 |
A good group of nearly twenty runners arrived for our latest
evening adventure, into the woods of Whitmoor Common and surrounds. A site of
specific scientific interest, must be the rare sight of Weybridge Hashers
sprinting to and fro, amongst the trees, in this nature reserve. Poor Ding a Ling got lost ….a lot on the
way to the run, but redeemed himself by finding quite a few checks. Guests
tonight were Mary from North Hants, a daytime runner mainly on account he
cannot see in the dark! Proving the
point whilst falling headlong into a little stream and ditch near the on in.
Also a keen runner from South Korea , Hanmin joined us and enjoyed it a lot ! Point to note……checking has improved, more people are helping
find our trail…….GOOD ! Mark and Spanish Mistress provided us with a
delightful run, going everywhere with forests and heath land, even getting a
herd of cows to stampede for our enjoyment…..Lucky Sarah wasn’t here. Pub
grub was …..well…..mountains of yummy chips…..THANKS Hares…most generous of
you both. Lets come here in the Spring too… |

Naked
Chef @ The Rose of York |
11.10.11 |
A goodly gathering in the high class surroundings of The Rose of
York half way up Richmond Hill. Hare sent us straight up a steep incline
towards Star & Garter home for injured servicemen. Then off we go into
Richmond Park...yippee! Lots of green bracken and ferns springing up, some
with deer sleeping inside them. We got
a bit lost here and there, but the Full Moon welcomed us at every turn. Over
to Sheen gate, even before tracking back, and then alongside the
millionaire’s houses outside the park. Naked Chef found a very clever trail through some woods, we have
not used before, excellent even though someone had tried to rub out even
grain of flour she laid on the public footpaths! Winding through the back streets
of Richmond , up to the top of the Hill again, passed through the gardens and
naked statue of the infamous Aphrodite or ‘Bulbous Betty’ as she was known in
the 1950’s apparently, and a quick nod to Mick Jagger & his ex Jerry
Hall’s house before descending down the many steps to the pub. Poor Triple
Pixie Trace, got lost coming home, and Louise kindly went to find her, and
one was going up the hill, while the other came down…..hey ho….everyone made
it in the end. |

Hands
on@ The Red Lion |
18.10.11 |
Dark nights and lower temperatures should not in any way deter
hardy Hashers from the delights of Weybridge Hash on a Tuesday night! Hands
On created a delightful run, taking in Cheam Park and Nonsuch Park to great
effect, even though the pack numbered just SEVEN, come on, where are you?!
Daffy, Naked Chef, Cathy, Dingaling, Agent Provocateur, Great Bear & our
Hare, that was it. Twenty to twenty seven, each week in the Summer, was more
like it! Get in your cars and DRIVE Hashers, you missed out here! Sausage had the cheek to stroll up, only
for drinkies in the pub, what a nerve. Only his sense of humour saved him
from the stocks. Suitable financial bonuses were paid out, as appearance
money for these hardy Hashers turning up tonight Ho ho………could be YOU next
time. Don’t miss out on your Winter Fitness campaign with Weybridge
Hashers! Forget the gym, it’s boring indoors, so come and join us next week. |
