Bahrain H3 Trail #2552
April 6, 2020 in Bahrain ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Life in Bahrain is not to bad, I am enjoying the warm sunshine on a daily basis. Life in the current COVID-19 lockdown is certainly difficult for everyone, so I am counting my blessings that I am not quarantined. This trail was a fast city run, and probably the fastest I have run since my surgery. 4.2 miles in 45 minutes is sub 11 minute miles, considering crossing streets with traffic, and looking for trail, that is close to sub 10 minutes miles. If I can get back down to sub 9, that's getting back down close to where I was in late 2018 before the murmur. Anyway, just have to keep looking for the silver lining in all this mess. Life is a blessing, let's all make the most of it. https://www.relive.cc/view/vNOPnejJK2qRead more

Bahrain Black H3 Trail #1848
April 4, 2020 in Bahrain ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Yet another foray into physical fitness and sanity enhancement, all while practicing good social distancing skills. No other hashers in sight throughout, except for Saigon Sally, who I could barely keep up with . . . that dude is FAST. But I guess that means I am well on the road to recovery, able to run again. This was a good city trail, with lots of alleyways and side streets, and an occasional dirt lot. Life is pretty wonderful, despite the current world lockdown. Things will get better y'all, life will eventually return to normal. Stay strong. https://www.relive.cc/view/vPv4Jo28B36Read more

More social distancing, but still good fun. Best guess is we had about 15 hashers get out there and do some form of trail. All headed out solo or in small groups, we still found lots of dirt between the buildings. Good fun in these troubled times. https://www.relive.cc/view/vXOnE2V8dBvRead more
Traveler Easy enough to get them started. My first solo hare here in Bahrain.

Bahrain Black H3 Trail #1847
March 28, 2020 in Bahrain ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
In this new era of social distance hashing, Saigon Sally and I set trail early this morning. Start location was posted, and hashers were allowed to show up and follow trail anytime they wanted during the day. According to the reports and check ins, looks like we had about a half dozen hashers follow trail, last one finishing right at dusk (so roughly 9 hours from start of setting trail, to last one in). Had plenty of desert shiggy, ups and downs, and even a water crossing. No circle, only texting about it on WhatsApp. Good fun just the same, the best we can do it these unusual times. On On. https://www.relive.cc/view/vZqNNdzAA3qRead more

INTERGULF 2020 Recovery Run
March 21, 2020 in Bahrain ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
A hearty pack of 4 gathered for the Black Hash Recovery Run today. Keeping our 2 meter distance throughout, our small gang skulked around the back alleyways in search of the perfect trail. Well we didn't find it, but we had a damn good time. Another INTERGULF officially in the books, and I have just enough details to write an article on Bahrain. Did we have a good time? You bet your ass we did!!! https://www.relive.cc/view/vdvmBpB28NORead more

INTERGULF 2020 Main Event
March 20, 2020 in Bahrain ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Just two weeks ago 40 International, and over 60 total hashers were signed up to attend INTERGULF 2020 in Bahrain. Then the bottom fell out last weekend, and COVID-19 curtailed all travel. Only one of those 40 made it into country before the travel restrictions kicked in (yea, that would be me). Due to ever increasing restriction, the Thursday evening pub crawl was cancelled, and only 11 hashers turned up today for the main event trail out in the desert. One hare (Saigon Sally - who set an amazing trail) and two hounds took to the hills for the runners trail, and one hare and seven walkers set out to beat the runners back into the finish. The walkers achieved their goal finishing in under an hour, as the runners popped up over the final dune about 20 minutes later, just as dark was settling over the site. Keeping our social distance, we conducted a circle and even managed to name one hasher . . . SLITHER. I'll save the naming details for another time. Great day of minimum 2 meters between hashers, and fun . . . FUN I tell you, was had by all. https://www.relive.cc/view/vKv24KZDr46Read more
Traveler At the start, practicing our social distancing.

Bahrain H3 Trail #2550
March 16, 2020 in Bahrain ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
A rolling stone gathers no moss . . . so this rolling stone keeps on hashing. I had the opportunity to join the Bahrain H3 for their weekly evening hash tonight. This time of year, it is dark for the whole trail, but being mostly a street run there was plenty of lights. It was the annual St. Paddy's day hash, and the pack dressed in their best (yea, right) green attire. Trail was pretty much a street run, but the circle was a rousing good time with plenty of hash songs and cheer. A solid pack of 25+ enjoyed this gaggle of brilliant jokes, songs, and even came with a pot of Irish stew. Ok, maybe it was just boiled potatoes with some beef cubes, but it was surely tasty to the half drunken pack after an hour circle. This was the final local hash before the hoard of visitors (or maybe the one dude that got in) roll in for INTERGULF this weekend. And FUN, FUN I tell you, was had by all. https://www.relive.cc/view/vNOPn5WP3YqRead more

Zwischenstop in Bahrain
February 19 in Bahrain ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Hier war ich auch noch nie... Nach einem ruhigen Flug mit Gulf Air bin ich pünktlich in Bahrain gelandet. Der Flieger war ziemlich leer und so hatte ich eine ganze Reihe für mich allein. Vorher haben mich ja schon alle gefragt, was das denn für eine Airline sei. Kennt man einfach nicht so unbedingt, aber Service, Essen, Entertainment und Komfort waren gut. Und auch der Flughafen hier ist sauber und alles ging total schnell. Auch hier ist es sehr leer und so habe ich für die nächsten Stunden einen gemütlichen Platz zum Füße hochlegen gefunden. Hab ich echt schon deutlich schlechter erlebt. Hoffentlich geht es so weiter 😉Read more

Bab el-Bahrain Souk
December 28, 2023 in Bahrain ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
During our short layover in Bahrain we had breakfast at Haji's Cafe (Haji Gahwa). It was opened in 1950 and definitely worth a visit while in the souk. The cafe is full of locals enjoying a traditional leisurely breakfast, I really enjoyed the Special Omelette.

BITCH3 Trail #32 (2nd Anny)
April 3, 2020 in Bahrain ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
The Bahrain Independent Trail Chasers H3 (BITCH3) is a fairly new club here in Bahrain, hence the second anniversary. You can read about their exploits (and rules) at http://bitch3.com - I volunteered to set another trail while I am in a holding pattern waiting for the COVID 19 to run its course, and get back to travelling. This was another social distancing success. After a good scouting hike on Wednesday, Saigon Sally and I set trail in the morning, and let the pack loose to run it anytime they wanted in the afternoon. There were many accounts posted of finding dead things (bones, skulls, and whole skeletons of various animals) out in the desert. The pack also had to dodge a few horses, and at least one motorcycle. Trail turned out a bit shorter than planned, but anyone who has hared knows, the trail sort of works itself out in its own way. Spring is fading here in Bahrain, and summer is coming . . . so hydrating is getting more important. But until the COVID era is over, y'all have to bring your own beer, and enjoy it in your own time. 2 meters distance, and no groups larger than 5. Get some. https://www.relive.cc/view/v7O9w1GM7LqRead more
