Halloween Hash
BH7 #2437 - The Watchmaker's Arms, Hove
The WITCHmakers. HAUNTED Hove. Yes, that's right readers - it's that time of year when we all dress up like we're 6 years old and out begging for chocolate! Welcome to another Haunted Hash House Harriers special...
38 ghastly hashers descended on the Watchmaker's Arms in Hove, generating many a look from passers-by as ghosts, witches, devils, skeletons and more would run through the streets of Hove (and a little of Brighton too). Turning left (N) out of the pub the trail would take us along Wilbury Avenue, Wilbury Crescent and the footpath through to Silverdale Rd before turning S over Lyndhurst Rd, along Holland Rd and Somerhill Avenue to St Ann's Well Gardens and the well itself, and Bouncer's first 'H' (Haunted) stop of the evening where the gathered would have a quick sip stop (with AAARGHricultural Rum and chocolate eyeballs amongst the offerings); Bouncer also repeated the story of St Ann's Well for all gathered, facts that most were unaware of. Moving on S out of the gardens and down Furze Hill, Lansdowne Rd and Cambridge Rd, trail continued on to the sea via Brunswick St East and a stop at Upper Market Street / the Old Market and another historical recounting. S on Waterloo Street via a 'mini-H' stop at the Southern Belle before continuing on to the Peace Statue, a quick hop between Brighton and Hop, and another spectral tale. Then W along the seafront a short distance before turning up into Brunswick Sq Gardens, another quick sip, a story about a 'strange brown mass' (!). Now proceeding N through the gardens and W along Western Rd, with a little divert via another quick H-stop at The Bow Street Runner (with a visiting hasher popping out to say hello and On On!), before turning S into Palmeira Square Gardens / Adelaide Crescent Gardens and down to the Flight of the Langoustine at Hove Plinth - not a scary story but a culture stop nonetheless. Then cutting up Third Avenue (noting the Blue Plaque for King Edward VII) before the final sip stop / H-stop at Hove Town Hall. On Inn up Norton Rd / Eaton Rd / Goldstone Villas.
With pizzas and fish & chips all delivered and being devoured, and with 6 thirds of what Just Rick (the Watchmaker's Arms owner) described as 'brown' laid out in front, hash hush was called and an eerie silence descended - it NEVER normally works that well. Perhaps people thought more food was being delivered?! Hares 'Beasty' Bouncer and Angel were called up for the first DD to the tune of "20 Toes". Next up, Half Moon (and Fred, the skeletal head) for a fabulous homemade costume and Tripsy Daisy as the Bride of Scooby Doo; it was noted (jokingly) that the wedding dress WASN'T covered in blood before TD had started the evening, with TD then noting that it was her actual wedding dress from her 'practice' marriage (her words, not mine!); DDs for both to "They're alright". Bonking Queen and Bobble Chopper were welcomed back, sorely missed, but no DDs as the third of their party - Just River - would receive her name tonight - 'Babble-On' (a variation of a previous suggestion of 'Babylon' from 'Rivers of Babylon'); DD (of water) to "Get A Life". And finally, two stupid hashers: Just Rick, for forgetting his headtorch - luckily for Rick I had one spare, unluckily for Rick I was RAing - and Little Swinger, for what could only be described as deep-throating a huge gherkin in front of Half Moon and myself! DDs to, of course, "You're Stupid". With Xmas hash details noted and next week tentatively confirmed, the evening was closed out with a toast to the hash. - Nasty Nips
