Surprises galore tonight, runners appeared from every nook and
cranny tonight to join us! Honourable
Horn. Piercey, aka Tequil’Over appeared
miraculously with Horn in hand, and Roman sandals too. Andy arrived with tanned Debbie and kids
Ben and Will, gamely climbing every hilltop, even on one foot for poor Ben!
On , on up, it certainly was through the woods of the famous Norbury Park Estate
which was formed in 1475, and even dates back to 1086 when the ‘”Druids
Grove” of yew trees was mentioned in The Doomsday Book! Steeped in history indeed, as we gasped our
way over logs, and tree stumps and past saw mills. Ships in the night joined
us in the form of Belgrano, and poor Fish and Chips even turned up without
her socks! Marco Van Basten aka |

Well, yet more new Hashers arriving, the word is spreading;
happiness starts with Weybridge Hash House Harriers! Tent Tester aka Sarah created a lovely
meandering route round Walton Heath, and surrounding woodlands, skirting the
famous Walton Heath Golf Club which hosted the Ryder Cup in 1981 with Jack
Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin. Her friendly son James was very helpful to the pack as they
careered here and there, these rugby players at 11 you know, Capt Smash’em I
am going to call him, good lad. Fish
and Chips brought Felicity to the party, Gary and Charlie brought young Ben
for his first Hash with us, he did well, if a bit tired. It was great to see Colin back with us, not
seen for a year, he does live almost 100 miles away and we welcome you back
anytime. More surprises after we finished, into the car park strolls
Lunchbox, a little late but just finished the run, looking super fit these
days, and three stone lighter, hey, hey, it’s a good look. Chips on wooden platters with ketchup did
follow, eagerly munched up by most.
Let’s keep this lovely Summer rolling for another couple of months, it
has been good eh? |

A wet night in Henry
the Eighth’s back garden, numbers swelled again, as a chattering pack set off
looking for the off towards Bushy Park. A side entrance was found, and into
the ferns we went. Many checks were used
to keep the pack together, the wildlife of 2 hours before had all but gone to
sleep, but we were treated to a Heron by a stream, and a few deer still
sipping their cocoa, before bed! The
Diana Fountain is now all restored, resplendent in gold, and the circular
pond now suitably full of water again. The Statue originally stood in the
grounds of Somerset House, and was designed for King Charles the First in
1630, before being moved to |

Another merry band of intrepid hashers gathered eagerly , high
on Newlands Corner, near Guildford for quite a tortuous up and downer, ideal
work out for many overlooking the North Downs, and part of the Pilgrim’s Way
from Winchester to Canterbury.
Visitors included dear John, school friend of Mother Brown, the lovely
‘ The sandy terrain sucked our limbs dry, but the interesting
route kept our spirits high. Gary and
Ben continued their adventures with us, the father at some risk to his
undercarriage jumping onto roads from 6 feet up at least! Morris is to be congratulated on a Robin
Hood of a trail, saving his good fortune by not getting lost whilst setting
it! He was rewarded with a pint of
Shere Drop from Surrey Hills Brewery…On On… as the darkness enveloped us for
the first time……. |

24.08.10 |
Another hearty gathering of intrepid souls turned up for our
latest root jumping run through the woods either side of the A3. We set off over the railway bridge and straight into familiar
territory weaving between farmland and nice pockets of forest, which we
love. Visitors tonight, well Fish and
Chips brought ‘Lord Lucan’ sorry
Lorcan, all the way from Fat Bastard arrived too, but I was unable to listen to any of
his usual sharp humour. Wazzer was
good to see with us again, back from The Foley afterwards, we turned into our lounge, it looks
unchanged. Determined Agent
Provocateur arrived in the pub, regaling us with tales of adventure from
Oxshott Station, perhaps a little far from the run, unfortunately for him,
Claygate station was not possible. |
