New start time of 19:00; Dangleberry "fancy hat" memorial run

#2352 Red Lion, Lindfield - After Bouncer's autocorrect from the week before, the hash was glad to see Keeps It Up NOT in Lingerie for the first of a number of Dangleberry SASH trails using the Echoes app in conjunction with more traditional hash marking. As another nod to DB, hash 2352 was also a 'silly hat' hash, and boy did the hash deliver - a traffic cone, several pirates, a coloured squid, a cork hat (nearly taking out Mudlark's eye before leaving the pub), a sea captain, a frog, stuffed animals, a balloon crown, and too many more to mention here. For the uninitiated amongst us, Dangleberry developed the SASH as a Solo Hash during lockdown to enable hashers to still get out on trails, using the Echoes app as a way finder. Echoes would play sound files based on the user's location, but rather than give it 'On On' or 'Check', DB instead chose to use a clown horn sound followed by 'blob' (as in 'blob of flour')! And so, with the trail laid by KIU and Wildbush following DB's SASH, the pack turned S out of pub, E along Newton Rd then N on Barncroft Dr. The FRBs were to be found checking around The Wilderness (field), but true trail lay E along the footpath passing Hangmans Acre Farm to the stream and a fishhook. Running back to the tail end, fishhookers would encounter a sea of silly clown horn noises! Trail then continued on E to the River Ouse, following E to the bridge at E Mascalls Ln, continuing N (now Montes Hill) passing Lindfield Golf Club and then taking footpath E. Onward E, briefly joining Monteswood Ln before turning N towards Cockhaise Brook, turning NW shortly before the brook and on to Plummerden Ln / Montes Hill again. Footpath continued in W direction, around the field picking up the track W and all the way back to the B2028, with a long r*n On Inn S along B2028 / Buxshalls Hill / High St. Overheard on the hash tonight: Private Dancer exclaiming it was 'just too floppy'! His hat, that was... Back at the pub, it was noted that Bouncer's vast collection of hats seemed to change every 5 minutes once the trail had finished. Nasty Nips called hash hush, donning one of DB's hats created many years previously (consisting of a cycling helmet, green 1-inch flexible tubing, and LED lights), and called up the hares KIU and WB with DD to the tune of "Here's to the Hares". Next, returnees Ginger Nuts and his partner who, not knowing her name, NN elected to call Mrs Ginger Nuts or Minger Nuts for short (actually called Bare Bears) were called up for being absent for 18 months and noted that their hats were lone dangling berries, although BB had actually lost hers on trail; DD to "This Is Your Down Down song". On to Bouncer, and probably his fifth hat of the evening, for a birthday song, Bouncer took centre stage having donned a beer bottle hat with straw. After much fiddling with it (again, the hat that is...) and direction from One Erection, Bouncer and NN got the hat working and DD to "Hashy Beerday". Once Bouncer had sat back down, NN recalled that Bouncer shared his birthday with Harold Wilson and Douglas Adams, and that today was also Commonwealth Day. Then a race-ism charge to Wilds Thing for his 200th Marathon and DD to "10,9,8". Finally, WB was called up again for being overheard to use the C-word(!) on trail and ZZ Topless was called up for being used as a urinatory post by You Stupid Bastard! DD to the tune of "Little Flat Jessies". Then, handing over to ZZT, the Numpty mug was announced. Having seen this numerous times (and received it more than once) you'd think ZZT would know what to say, but with much flustering and hesitation, she called up 1E. The charge? Letting YSB pee on her in the first place. As an additional challenge, NN passed the DB alien rave hat (as it had become nicknamed) to 1E to wear whilst doing the DD! DD to, of course, " You're Stupid". And so endeth another great hash. - Nasty Nips
