BOF's boring bit number 974. 

The raised embankment that we all went along, and where Sweet Pea was photographed, is the remains of the Roman Road which ran from Dorchester to Old Sarum near Salisbury. It is claimed that the ghost of a Roman soldier can still be seen trudging sadly along this path.

BOF's boring bit number 975.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, smugglers drove wagons up this track from the coast. It is known as "Snail's Creep". At the top is the dew pond where the horses rested and drank after the long haul from Osmington and Fleet with contraband. The pond used to be full of newts, toads, frogs, snakes (BOF has seen an adder swimming here). In the 1980s, someone put goldfish in the pond. These are savage predators and they wiped out the natural pond life. All attempts to catch the goldfish (electrocution, netting, draining, etc) have failed.

One reason not to wear new trainers on a hash. "What's your name?"

"Don't tell him Pike!"

At right - the pike in all his glory.

 

Well Caught! Kipper

IMG_1390.JPG (51983 bytes) The Down! Downs! were slop tray leftovers from the Beer Festival so Kipper sniffed - it smelled worse than the pike! Sprout recoiled - it smelt worse than Doggy! Wellie W (celebrating 450 hashes) just got on and drank it because Lagerlout was within attacking range and he was terrified of complaining!
