#2337 - The Red Lion, Lindfield - With everyone gathered, Keeps It Up gave the chalk talk; or at least, he attempted to, instead drowned out by the booming voice of Hash Gomi talking over him and apparently eager to get going. So, with no idea of the length, number of fishhooks, or anything else, the hash set forth S out of pub along the B2028 / High St before crossing onto the footpath at the W edge of Lindfield Common. The Common was kept to the left as the footpath skirted the edge in SE direction and on to / crossing Meadow Dr. Trail continued on footpath between allotments and Croxton Ln before turning S on Gravelye Ln, then turning onto the footpath just before Rustlings Cl, SE then S to Langmore Ln and onto Chilton Grove. Another footpath found trail continuing S onto Lyoth Ln where the first fishhook would be encountered. Trail to end of Lyoth Ln and then N/NE on Snowdrop Ln and another fishhook at the end of the lane. Footpath taken E between Walstead Manor Lodge and Walstead Stud and towards the woods. Trail turned sharply from E to NNW and towards E Mascalls Ln and onto Snowflakes Ln where the footpath was taken before the righthand turn / Walstead Forge. Trail followed footpath NNW until Hangman's Acre Farm where it then turned W and on to Wilderness Field. Trail continued W on N edge of Wilderness Field, on to Francis Rd, through All Saints Church and then S on 2028 / High St. On to the circle, and first up the hares KIU and Wildbush and the usual remarks for the route shouted out to them. DD to "Here's to the hare". Next up Mudlark and Amanda, spotted hanging around at the fishhook after the cornfield rather than running straight back. However, both were driving and so nominated Hash Gomi and James respectively. Nonetheless, Bouncer insisted that "20 Toes" be sung for the DD, even though arms were refused to be interlinked (although they got close enough for us to hear James exclaim "He's too hairy"!). HG, having just sat down from the nominated DD was then called straight back up for his own DD. When asked what for and then continuing to talk over NN anyway, he was told it was because "he didn't shut the f*** up" and had talked over the hare in the circle at the start. Ant B was also called up for suffering from verbal diarrhoea on a recent hash. DD to "Little Willies". Psyclepath and KIU were then both called up, PsyP for trying to avoid shiggy on the trail and ending up tangled in brambles, and KIU for having to consult his own map at one point on the trail. DD to "Stupid". Finally, KIU was called back up again, and a list of all the other charge levied against him that evening read out: (1) at one check KIU stated that there was a mark in every direction, (2) KIU was heard to say that when he recce'd the trail the day before it was even shiggier, (3) KIU stated that due to the weather the marks were low. Or high. And finally (4) KIU also stated that marks were on the right. Or the left. Or, in fact, in the middle! DD to "10, 9, 8". Details for next week's hash were confirmed but it was noted that the hare (Spreadsheet) is currently unwell - ML and others offered to assist if need be. Circle was closed with a toast to the hash. - Nasty Nips
