229 H3 #35

It has been nearly 10 years since the first 229 Hash trail. Founded as a Leap Year event, to be held on 29 Feb . . . they have added a couple extra trails in there every year, and today was 1129 for Nov.

There were about 75 hashers that turned up. I had the option of a couple other hash clubs in Taipei today, but chose this one since it runs so seldomly. Good thing too, because it was an AWESOME trail, taking in a bit of everything . . . pavement, rice paddies, scrub brush, bridges, drainage ditches, forest, dirt tracks, the beach, and much more. This has been the very best trail I have run here in Taiwan over the past week or so.

Circle was all in Mandarin, so I only understood the hand and arm signals of what was going on, but got the meaning in most cases. After that, we made our way to dinner, with plenty of good food. An absolutely stellar day on the hash.Read more
