Checking out the hash trail walk...

Date: Sunday 29th April
Location: Lustleigh (in and around)

Without giving too much away, Dolittle or should that be DoDolittle, Four Sips, myself, Buster, Teasel, Sid, Tilly and two of Four Sips friends went on a pre-hash amble round Lustleigh to see where we are going to lay the trail in exactly one month's time.
We had a lovely walk, I was being a little bit brave in t-shirt and sandals but it did turn out to be nice and warm, if not a little wet in places for my little toes.
Teasel did her usual border terrier style obedience, the sort that goes, "Teasel come here and put your lead on" "ok" well i'll only come just close enough for you to bend down and touch my tail and then run out of the way several times!!!! GRRRRR Still she was reasonably well behaved considering...
Buster was well behaved but was sick on the way round probably due to eating plants that don't agree with dogs, that Four Sips assured me wouldn't be eaten by dogs because they are too sensible not to eat them. Four Sips meet Buster and Teasel the only two dogs on this planet who are too stupid not to know that they will be sick after eating Dog Worsel , or was it Dog Mango, or Dog Groundsel...whatever it was it didn't agree with the dogs!
Dolittle did manage to stand in some doggy doo doo's (not our dogs I hasten to add, ours was nicely picked up and disposed of in the bins provided) hence Four Sip then saying she should be called Doo Doolittle.....
We saw a beautiful wood full of bluebells which was truly a sight to behold and brought back happy memories of other woods I've known filled with bluebells. One of which was Bluebell woods where Farmer Goldstraw kept his pigs...(but that's another story for another day)
Dolittle agreed at the end to backchase or was it backtrail or was it follow the longs. (I was about to start drawing straws for that job, i've been given the job of providing treats for the regroup. Not going to say what just in case... and Four Sips has got the job of telling everyone about the hash and following the shorts...that's the plan at the moment anyway.
It was quite exciting thinking about laying a trail as this will be the first one we will have done, but thankfully with an expert like Four Sips for guidance we will be On On for a real treat.

So thankyou Four Sips for taking us out today, it really is a lovely trail, thank you Dolittle for volunteering to follow the longs around the hash and thank you to the kind people of Lustleigh for not yet knowing what you have let yourselves in for....
So till May 29th On On...
