#2345 - The White Hart, Henfield - Burns Night Hash - Led out of the pub by the side door, the hash crossed over London Rd and down Church St, turning right (N) onto Martyn Cl, footpath to Parsonage Rd and around (N then W) to Charity Cl. N on Clarity Cl taking footpath by the play park N to Mallard Wy. Right (E) here and around to Deer Park. Proceeding E over London Rd onto Wantley Hill Estate and down the footpath by the garages, with trail indicated by an arrow with a Question Mark (we never got to the bottom of that mark). Continuing E and over Wantley Hill Estate (again) and off the tarmac into the fields. Trail continued E, following the footpath S to Furners Ln, turning E at Furners Ln then turning S at the footpath before the field and power pylons. Footpath / track / road followed S until just before A281 Brighton Rd, turning R (W) into the field and following the footpath 100m, curving S and over A281 at finger post. Continuing S between the houses and then R (W) before turning downhill (S) and onto A2037 Barrow Hill. Footpath followed to and onto Broadmere Common (SW), turning W at the end / Dagbrook Ln. Next footpath R (N) taken through shiggy all the way to King James's Ln, onto S View Terrace, N at the end following footpath bending W to Windmill Ln and N once more over Mill End and on to Broomfield Rd. The first public footpath taken R (E) on to The Hooks, crossing straight over and to Cagefoot Ln, then turning immediately N passing by Corpus Christi Catholic Church, on to Church Ln and then into and around St Peter's Church in a clockwise fashion, exiting via the NE entrance and on to Sip Stop at Casa de Crashpian.
Nasty Nips called circle at the Sip Stop once walkers had arrived, starting with the random fact of the day - January 22nd marks (US) National Polka Dot Day. It was noted that no-one had arrived in polka dots and instead seemed to be wearing tartan, although several hashers were heard to state they had polka dot underwear on (no proof of this was offered though). And then, some Burns Night facts - January 25th marked Burns' birth (in 1759), and the tradition of Burns' Night started when 9 of his close friends gathered (in 1801) to commemorate the death of their friend in 1795. And then the toast 'Slainte Mhath' - pronounced 'Slan-cha va' and meaning "Good Health" was held (with NN apologising in advance for any potential mispronunciation). DDs were then held with hares Prince Crashpian & Slash Gordon called up first and DD to "Here's to the Hares". Next up Bouncer, Bathe It Daily, Angel and Ride It Baby for their stellar outfits, with DD to something by Bouncer. Then another group of hashers were called up for their 'stupid' antics - Gomi for clear and obvious SCBing, On On Don (gone, so given to Wilbush) for completely not reading the map provided, Gromit (for his bicycle accident, which saw him in sling but otherwise relatively unharmed) and Rebel WHK for horn trouble - DDs to "You're Stupid". Then finally, with One Erection noting the hats in the circle (noted as a veritable sea of tartan), Bouncer was called to take one for the hash and DD to "10,9,8". Circle closed for a very short On Inn to pub E along Church St, and onto the evening's entertainment. Opening the evening Slash Gordon held the "Toast To Haggis", the haggis (and chef) steered to the front of the assembled mass. SG, reciting, called upon Bouncer as the 'Old head of the table, most like to burst', Shirker as the 'Poor Devil', and Knightrider as the 'Rustic, Haggis-fed', each bringing out a laugh or cheer from the crowd. And then, glasses were raised to the haggis (and the chef). Following on from the meal (where, it was noted, Shirker Ninezing and Tripsy Daisy has opted for, instead of Haggis (or Vegi Haggis)... Ham, egg and chips... at Burns Night!) OOD's Just Pat read out the poem "To A Mouse" by Burns, followed by Scud reading the poem "Tae a Fert", the true author unknown but definitely a take on "To A Mouse" and then regaled all with his harmonica skills. Fetherlite then stood, injecting humour with a Burns (Ward) joke and Bathe It Daily followed suit with another joke but proceeding to fluff up the punchline! And finally, SG called upon those seated to join in for the song "Wild Mountain Thyme", with the hash all joining in using the word sheets provided earlier. - Nasty Nips
