Lining up the beers in the pub
The pub menu. Note the good prices. And this pub is popular.
A good meal and a pint of beer cost about 11 pounds or 12 euros (at present exchange rates)
Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with gravy and lots of potatoes & vegetables -
almost too much to eat!

Yum yum!

& clotted cream with a coffee as well
The tray of down-down beers.

Signpost giving an idea of the pub location.

A very nice old pub
Mad Dog's sister Teresa, nephew Christopher & brother-in-law Simon -
were visiting and joined Mad Dog and Mauricio on the hash.
The huge pre-run circle
The Wessex GM Mr Beaky
(The Wessex hash strangely don't have an RA but they have a GM and 6 JM's)
Note the frosty grass.
The hasher in the costume apparently does it for fun.
He walked the trail in the costume too.
Would be a great outfit for Carnival!
The Wessex hash sign-in board
Visitors pay a pound each.
They have to check when they leave to do the run and when they return -
so everyone is accounted for.
Before the run ....
A hasher reaching a set number of runs has to drink beer from the piss pot.
The hares are given a down-down.
The trail is laid in sawdust (which is actually quite difficult to see)
Chalk powder was used for the walkers trail on this occasion.
Mud, glorious (frozen) mud! Note the frost on the grass.
Navigating an icy bog
Wild New Forest ponies
The walkers wind their way through the bracken
