The Patriot’s Arms, Chiseldon, Wiltshire   3 comments

With no hash to go to I left the house late for a leisurely run in the general direction I had planned had there been a hash.  There is an especially pleasant wood below the manor farm at Burderop Park with an intense little climb to do at a section called the ‘Ladder Hill.’  After this, I cut through the private park and hopped a wall to continue on to a bridleway just south of Hodson emerging from fields just a bit southwest of Chiseldon.  I made my way to the Patriot’s Arms only to find it stinking with hashers.  Poop…they said they would be at the Plough.

I took my Cornish Knockers out to the fortress and settled into siege mode; with provisions and a plan to make a cunning retreat, I refueled and made my way back through their midst and off to a more civilised venue the far side of Chiseldon.  The run would be interrupted by stops at the Plough, the Baker’s Arms, and a whisky salute to the Sun before I could pick up my order at Argos and drag my way back to the house.
