We arrived in the car park to be met by Noddy, running towards us wiggling her chest.  She was wearing her bright orange Berkshire Hash top and had been going round the circle trying to light up everyone's face with an orange glow.  That was her story anyway.  A large crowd was gathered, including a few new people and a few returners.  Gnome Alone did some introductions including a chap called Keith - or was that Tim?  Epic Fail was even later than us and was obviously in a state of confusion as he got out of the car and locked it - with the driver's door still wide open!  Then he called The Slappers The Shaggers (could stick?).  Gnome said that the trail was quite obvious as "it always goes this way" so everyone set off left from the village store car park.  Everyone except Lemony and Scrubber, that is, who went right, met Henry V and ACJ who had arrived late and parked at the pub, and found the trail!  We wound our way through the countryside and, at some point on the trail, were caught up by Mismatch and Percy who were training for their Ridgeway Challenge and had parked a few miles away and run to the trail.  They kept drinking and eating.  Not sure this long distance running is good for you.    Mismatch is becoming quite a regular again!  It was at about this point that Baby Slapper announced that she felt it was a long one tonight - how nice of her to notice replied the RA! The tail had lots of interesting features such as a kissing gate, and a missing check - oh yes, and people racing!!!

The yellow vest went to Call Girl for preferring Rick Astley to ACDC, how rude!  Chips were a little bijoux tonight.  A long discussion ensued concerning the CAMRA and Ginger Rocket volunteered to help.  Not bad as it was her first hash.  She must be coming back again.  A great run, thanks, Gnome.
