Robbie Burns' 263rd Birthday Haggis Hash ~~ "It's what he would have wanted" ~~
For this year's Highland Fling, we'll be taking the first leg of one of "The" Great Railway Journeys, as described in Bradshaw's Guide. The railway line, as well as Temple Meads Station itself, was designed by the Great British engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel ("The Little Giant", to his friends).
From Temple Meads, we'll journey by GWR through the stunning and heather-covered highlands and glens of North Somerset until we arrive, several minutes later, at the heart of the Nailsea and Backwell railway station. At this charming station, which boasts two platforms and a footbridge, you'll be met by the porters who will unburden you of your luggage and convey it to the castle. The porters will, of course, guard your valued belongings with their lives!
Then we're off! OnOnOn! The Haggis-Hash pack will thunder from the station, horns a-blasting, and will end up, several miles and "stops" later, at the ancient castle, where you'll be greeted by the haunting sound of a lone piper high on the castle's ramparts.
The porters will reunite you with your hoard and the festivities will begin!
"Ach Aye The Noo!"
Your itinerary:
Saturday 22 Jannuary from Temple Meads Station
Meet TM at around 1115hours (train departs at 1155hours)

Friday 7th March 2014:
Following on from the success of the "Sodbury Six" and inspired by the great British explorers, such as David Livingstone, Ernest Shackleton and Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the BH3 Soc. Committee proudly present,
It was intended that our modern-day explorers would assemble, ready for inspection, at Base-camp (aka The Inn on The Green, Horfield) at 1900hrs sharp!
After taking on preparatory fluids, the party set off, on foot, in a southerly direction, following the route of Gloucester Road, with the intention of making it all the way to Stokes Croft by the time of Last Orders. The party was totally unsupported (except, latterly, by each other), i.e. no support vehicles nor Sherpas was used in this attempt!
By the use of money alone, the party managed to sustain themselves on this epic trek, by purchasing drinks and nutrients at hostelries along the way. Some pictures HERE.
25-26th January:
The Famous Bristol Haggis Bash. A classic event returned to a classic venue - Parkend in The Forest of Dean. Pictures HERE.
Run 1611, 19 January 2014. Hare: Soprano. Followed by The Still House News.
The memory of Sunday, 19 Jan is now a faint vision of blue sky and sunshine - we have hardly seen either since! (Apparently the sun shone somewhere on Skye today).
Massive, Clem, Gazza, Public Enemy, L/Escargot, Snails Nuts, Rentahash, Hot Fuzz, Sue You, Fruitcake, Spider, Wet Wipe, Sleepy, Dolly, DrW, Puki and virgin Hasher Sue all rushed quickly out into the sunshine. (Duracell turned up much later straight from a TACH race) plus Diane.
I decided to run the Hash down and alongside the almost flooded Brook for as short a time as possible - just in case a 'Hashing purist' relished trudging through just a bit more mud. I rather hoped though that Hashers would appreciate a bit of a (dry) climb up to, and then a bit of a trot over, Charmy Down - at least to remember what it was like to easily lift one leg in front of the other! I eventually made it to the top myself only to see L'Escargot and Snails Nuts confidently, but incorrectly, heading right down towards Stoney Lane! The continuance of the rain played havoc with the trail. A quick ON back shout and we made it to the regroup amazingly with the Hash patiently waiting for us. Did you know there are over 30 species of birds on the top of Charmy Down? It is truly an area of outstanding natural beauty - even with the now derelict world war 2 control tower and outbuildings complete with the lines of the flight paths still very evident. For me, it is a magical place, especially when jogging over the top at sunset after it has just snowed with Ringo zooming about doing twirly wirlies! Can you believe the powers that be in Bath are again considering turning the top of Charmy Down into the 'Park & Ride' to feed the east side of Bath. (Stick this with the other services down on the meadows with the train line, the canal, the river and the ugly overhead pylons I say). I feel an Emmeline Pankhurst moment coming on! Once in our stride and easily over the top we approached "the steps" leading down to Chilcombe Bottom. Yes, so called because Why? - chilly bottoms we all had! The precarious slippy, mud soaked descent must go down in hashing history at the sight of a lady in wellies, with a baby strapped in cloth to her back bent double with a hand on each step trying to keep control (yikes). This sight sent us all scurrying away as quickly as possible in abject horror - she wanted no help: why not change your route love? Another regroup at the bottom then Dolly, DrW and Gazza all assumed we were heading up Solsbury Hill. Ha Ha, this devious Hare had earlier abandoned that idea and we headed left through to Sevenacres Lane even missing out the right turn at the new gate again up towards Solsbury Hill (this was no valley of death Mark VI and this Hare is getting soft).
Anyway, back home, legs washed, indescribable muddy shoes and socks at the door - the real serious business commenced:
- The Distillation -
Cheese and biscuits to ease the hunger pangs, beer on tap. Seven nominations (Massive's ginger and raspberry vodkas, Gazza's second entry of an Aldi bought sloe gin and Soprano's other sloe gin) - all so wonderfully distilled that, according to one of our 'top' judges: yes, that Cider drinker extraordinaire, Public Enemy, all were regarded as Highly Commended. Other obvious choices for judges were that clean palated Clem - and a Northend resident and virgin Hasher Sue. The hot news was that, as two years in succession winner, Spider's Linda had not entered - the competition was wide open. The rest of us were salivating as the three judges enviously kept us all on tenterhooks right to the end - 3rd: Soprano's sloe gin - 2nd: Fruitcake's sloe gin: 1st and clear winner: (drum roll): Gazza's sloe gin. Once all were tasted (several times) and verified as worthy contenders, the genius for me in the winner and, as Gazza himself glassy eyed and chokingly explained to a clearly mesmerised audience - during the first week of his distilling ..... he put in a clove and a cinnamon stick! Of course, another round of tasting ensued just to verify the clove and cinnamon on our own palate: much debate and a few beers later, Hashers slowly departed, leaving a select few for possibly a first Hashing experience - afternoon tea and cakes.
On On
Soprano x
ICE SKATING IN BATH, Saturday, 4th December 2014.
Soprano reports: "Limpet, Rebore, Gazza, Public Enemy, Chilli Con Carne, Steve, Clem and I met at the Marlborough Tavern for our confidence booster then strolled down to the rink for our 4:15pm session. Once booted and suited we attacked the ice(?!!). Limpet and Public decided it was not for them but were really great supporters. The rink itself didn't appear to be bigger as reported but the food and champagne on offer in the cabins surrounding - and getting on the ice at dusk with all the twinkly lights an a busy rink made for a lovely atmosphere. We were convinced we were going to get a soaking but the huge black clouds circling overhead passed without incident (thankfully!)
Gazza clearly hadn't lost his skills from last year, Chilli took to it like a duck to water! Her partner Steve was the dark horse and just took off immediately. The ice is still recovering from the crashing fall of Clem (yikes). Rebore again was an absolute professional. For those of you who don't know, Rebore trained with Robin Cousins all those years ago and hasn't lost his marvellous skill. He has also played ice hockey. It was a joy to see Rebore traverse the ice so beautifully. Poor Clem really did struggle early on but Rebore really helped him to start to skate over the ice rather than walk on it! I asked the attendant if Rebore could stay on the ice a bit longer after our session so he could really show us all how to skate properly - just brilliant to watch!
Once we found our road legs we ambled down to the Salamander for a well-earned ReHash of our efforts and Puki joined us. Rebore was reliably informed that Bristol would have its own Ice Rink within 18 months. Can't wait!
Great Fun!
On On."

"Mr Gazza" from Bath, UK, says:
Excellent trail Lunchi,
About 20 of us in the end, with a few popping up to join us at various stages of the trail, and fruitcake getting her son to drive her to meet us for lunch!
The trail started from Warmley - would have been on time except from Waynetta arriving the standard 5-10 mins late with poor Sweaty guarding her bike til she arrived. And a surprise, Spider-Man on a bike. But his bottom didn't quite last the day......
Easy cycle for 15 mins in good weather - time for coffee/tea at Bitton.
More easy cycling thru to Bath, then a road crossing to the new Two Tunnels section of a cycle path leading south out of Bath. A first time thru there for most, experiencing the dimly lit narrow, atmospheric tunnels, then almost to Midford but then back on ourselves towards Limpley Stoke on quiet roads and tracks. Time for some rain, not too bad, but an excuse for refreshment at The Hop Pole. A bit of a cloud burst while we were in the garden but the smokers area was well sheltered.
Back to the canal path towards Avoncliffe for lunch. A mile short of there and another cloud burst. Some sheltered under trees, others made a dash for the pub. Once there more beer and food orders. We found sheltered areas in the garden but it brightened up in time for food. Then some down downs. Then the rain set in again, so more beer to pass the time!
Eventually off we set back along the cycle path to Bath. More rain as we approached The George at Bathampton. Funny how it set in near pubs. So another stop for some beer and a goodbye to Soprano and Puki as they were near home.
Then on to Bath itself. I had the honour of leading them off the tow path along roads to Great Pultney St, and as I looked around behind me I saw a long 'crocodile' of hashing cyclists that could have been a 'lead out train' from the Tour de France.
After leaving the town centre another pub stop, the Hop Pole on the Upper Bristol Rd. Another visit from Fruitcake via the son taxi service.
At this point various groups filtered off back towards the Bath Briatol cycle path with appointments to make. And it was over. it had been damp in places, sunny in others, boozy in yet others. All in all, an excellent day out.
Thanks Lunchi!
22nd June: The Famous Hotwells Twenty. Lunchi says "Excellent day. Enjoyed in part by 28 and in full (in every sense of the word) by 9? - Lunchi, Sweaty, Clem, Fruitcake, Wensleydale, Puki, Our Kid, TFC, Sleepy - Have I missed anyone off?" Pictures HERE.

Lost Clem after we decided to move on, leaving undrunk beer in pub 'cos it was off. He caught up with us half an hour later having decided that, even though the beer wasn't good, it would be a shame to waste it."
