    Thai Nash Hash 2025 - Hangover Trail

    October 12 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Sunday morning and we are dressed and ready for the Hangover Trail. It was a casual stroll through central Pattaya, and out onto the beach. A short circle closed out the weekend. It was a great event.

    Thai Nash Hash 2025 - BB Trail

    October 11 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    It has been a whirlwind of activity the past few days. I was already in Pattaya for several trails last weekend, so was ready to go. They actually opened rego for the Nash Hash on Tuesday, so was first in line to collect my goodie bag, which was full of . . . well, goodies (see the photo).

    I was asked to co-hare the BB trail, so on Thursday morning our hare team of three hares set off into the jungle to set trail. Eight hours later, we emerged from the jungle having covered 24 kms of what would turn out to be (20-21 Kms of) an AWESOME trail.

    Saturday morning rolled around early, and due to all the rain on Friday, our BB trail needed some touch up, so I was nominated to go out and check up / reset the first half (10 kms worth) on my own. Now, I had only seen this trail once, while we were setting it, so there were a few gaps that I had to reconnect, and it left me guessing in a few instances, but in the end all was well. Only a few of the FRBs passed me just before pulling in to the drink stop. One of the other hares was remarking the second half, and we all met up at the end. The circle was a hoot, with tons of down downs and they were all enjoyed ON THE ICE. We eventually made it back to town for a quick shower and return for the party and dinner. It all was great, EXCEPT . . . they had hired a band that only played Irish Ballads, so while the first couple of songs were interesting, it got old quick and I bolted for the door. Good time to get some extra sleep.    Read more

    Pattaya H3 #2119

    October 6 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    I have had the good fortune to run with the hash club a few times now, and today was yet another awesome adventure through the local countryside. This hash was originally founded as the Pattaya Mixed H3. Trail today was yet another great shiggy trail, with plenty of dirt tracks through farmer’s fields, water crossings, and lots of just general shiggy. Another great day of hashing in Pattaya. (One quick note . . . it was 41 years ago today, that I ran my first hash trail, in Japan.)

    Hashing spread to Pattaya, with the establishment of the Pattaya Mixed H3 on 7 Jan 1984. Founded by Molly Kirgis who had just been exposed to the Bangkok H3 on an outstation run, she was assisted by Bill 'BJ' Jones and her husband Hans. The written description of hash number one stated that the trail would start from Jomtien Beach, and included waterways, bushy nature, ponds covered with water lilies, and buffalos who fortunately were far enough away that they did not interfere with pursuit of the finish. After creating their thirst, they proceeded to the home of the GM to quench it with beer . . . and thus inaugurated the Pattaya Mixed H3.

    Hashing biweekly for the first year, they celebrated their first anniversary in conjunction with the 25th run. One hundred hashers gathered in Rio Park for the event, and it was at this point that founder and GM at that time suggested that Frank ‘Whorerator’ Benfield become the next GM. Years later, assistant founder Bill 'BJ' Jones is quoted as saying “It was after that the hash began to change from the mixed hash, that had originated a year earlier, into a more macho type atmosphere.” This probably saw the elimination of ‘mixed’ from the name, resulting in simply the Pattaya H3 as they are known today.

    Pattaya Jungle Harriettes #2

    October 5 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    In a joint celebration with the Pattaya Jungle H3 #551, the ladies have established themselves to reign supreme for total harriettes organized run. They organized their first run 6 months ago, and plan to do again every 6 months.

    Today we had two trails, one for the walkers at about 5 kms . . . and a 10 Km trail for the runners. The runner's trail reminded me of all the primary reasons I love to hash. That is . . . I LOVE THE TRAIL more than anything else, and the trail today was absolutely fantastic. No pavement, all shiggy tracks through the jungle, palm trees, and pineapple fields. Trail included a few water crossings, and was so good. At one point for about 10 minutes, I was all by myself as I faded back towards the back of the main pack. It was quiet and peaceful, hardly a sound coming from any direction, felt like nirvana.

    Back at the finish, we all had the opportunity to rehydrate before dinner was served, followed by the circle. The circle includes a raffle of various donated items, including hash haberdashery, alcohol, and other things big and small. (I managed to win a nice bottle of Scotch.) This is how the keep the prices down for the wide array of offerings they provide at their biweekly trails. Normally they run on Saturday, but moved to Sunday this weekend to accommodate the 20th Anniversary of the Pattaya Monkey H3 yesterday.

    If you love shiggy trails, then make sure to visit Pattaya if you ever come to Thailand. You will not be disappointed.    Read more

    Pattaya Monkey H3 #120 -20th Anniversary

    October 4 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Another first for me, running this hash. They treat everyone as a virgin on their first run, so there was a bit of hazing, but all in good fun. Trail was an awesome near 13 km shiggy fest through assorted terrain, with hills, fields, streams, and a couple other water crossings.

    The main pack finished in just over 2 hours, but the back half of the pack streamed in over the next 2 hours, while the DFL was out for over 5 hours before opting for a ride, coming in at 6 hours. What a ride that must have been.

    This club only runs every other month, so have only accumulated 120 trails over the past 20 years . . . but quality over quantity is not a bad thing. Will have to come back for more.    Read more

    Bangkok Thursday H3 #498

    October 2 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Lady Boy comes through with flying colors. Capitalizing on his excellent trail last night, he nailed it again with another awesome trail . . . and this one was fully in the dark from start to finish. Have I mentioned I love hashing in the dark.

    With numerous alleyways and khlong paths, this trail tonight was nonstop fun. Circle was fun, and then we moved on for an excellent Thai dinner. Great times in Bangkok. Next I am headed to Pattaya tomorrow for a week of hashing and the Thai Nash Hash next weekend, Non-stop FUN!!    Read more

    Bangkok Harriettes #2233

    October 1 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Another excellent 8 km trail in the heart of Bangkok. We had a lot of rain today, but the skies cleared early enough for the hash to go on. Our hare, Lady Boy, set an excellent trail with plenty of tricky checks to keep us guessing. He is haring again tomorrow, so let's see if he can follow up with another great trail.Read more

    Bangkok Monday H3 #2179

    September 29 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    It was one of those . . . it might rain, it won't rain . . . kind of days. In the end . . . it DID NOT rain.

    It was an A to B run, starting in the fading light of the afternoon, and finishing in the twilight evening hour. We had about 20 on trail this evening, and all seemed to have a splendid time.
    A little background story . . . I used an old bandana that I was handed in Fiji back in 2018, for Trinidad & Tobago. Seems I had not had the opportunity to wash it over the past 7 years. I did not notice until I finished trail today, that my sweat had fostered the drool of red dye all down my face, from the bandana. 🤪

    With a ton of awesome twists and turns, the pack managed to navigate this 8 + Km trail through China Town. A great day to be on the hash here in Bangkok. (waiting to see the other photos taken on trail, and will update this post later).    Read more

    Siam Sunday H3 #640

    September 28 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Back out in the shiggy . . . this is my favorite kind of trail. Lots of small dirt trails, with great checks to break. Wide open spaces! So awesome. This 8+ km scamper was up north of Bangkok, and it was a beautiful sunny day . . . a perfect day for a hash. On On.Read more

    Bangkok Harriettes #2232
    Bangkok Thursday H3 #497
    Bangkok H3 #2478

    After wrapping up Pan Africa Hash in Ghana last weekend, I made my way over to Bangkok for some more warm weather hashing. Flying on Monday night, arriving Tuesday afternoon, and kicked off another week of hashing on Wednesday with the Harriettes . . . a fun 8 km trail. Then the Bangkok Thursday H3, another excellent all in the dark 8 kms of joy. Then followed those two up with the Bangkok H3 on Saturday. Getting lots of distance again, with about 25 kms for all three. More to follow . . .Read more

    Pan Africa Hash 2025 - Accra, Ghana

    September 20 in Ghana ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    This was the main event. It was initially explained as . . .

    "The trail is set up in 4 sections, you can run them all or choose what you want to run. The first section in 5 kms for the runners, and 1 km for the walkers, others just stay on the bus to the first beer check. Section 2 is set up the same way, runners will go about 5 kms, the walkers will be dropped off about 1 km away from the second stop. The third leg will be about 3 kms, and the last leg will be about 2.5 kms."

    So, what we got was . . .

    The first leg was about 5 kms, down the sidewalk to the first beer stop of about 30 min. Runners took off from there for another 4 kms, and the bus took the rest. At the second stop, we were told we ALL had to get on the bus to ride to the next stop. After boarding the bus, we ended up in a traffic jam for 30 minutes, and then the lead bus broke down. Eventually arriving at the third stop, we exited the busses and walked about 2.5 kms to the next beer stop. From there, it was all back on the buses to the venue.

    Overall, a fairly long day of bus rides and standing around, with 9 kms of running and 2.5 of walking. The party, dinner, and dancing back at the venue was excellent. Food was tasty and plentiful, the beer was on tap, cold and plentiful, The music was fun, and all around a fine day. I give it 9 out of 10 👍😀 for all aspects other than the trail, which was more like a 4 out of 10. 🫤    Read more

    Hash Founders' Hash #17

    September 18 in Ghana ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    After 41 years of hashing, I had my first actual run in with the law. On my 752nd lifetime hare, while hashing in Ghana on our way from Nigeria to Accra, Ghana, we stopped for an overnight in Keta, Ghana. Two weeks ago I was asked to hare a trail here, and it ended up being a Hash Founders Hash. Totally in the dark, I-feel Tower and I set off to set a short trail at about 2130. It all worked out well last night, but this morning on our way out of town, we were told the police wanted us to come in for questioning. The people of the town thought I was spreading Jaz, a voodoo poison. 90 minutes of waiting ended with an... OK, we understand and let us go.Read more

    Lomé H3 - Special Trail in Togo

    September 17 in Togo ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    As with everything on this prelube bus excursion, everything has been behind schedule. We spent 3 hours at the border crossing, and along with other delays, once again it was well after dark when we finally reached the hash site. The Lomé H3 was very kind to wait for us, and very welcoming once we arrived.

    Trail was a well organized concentric circle of backchecks and twists. The on in had plenty of cold beer, and the circle was short but high energy. Another great day on the hash.    Read more

    Cotonou H3 - Special Trail

    September 16 in Benin ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    It was a brilliant week in Lagos, but it was time to start moving towards Ghana for Pan Africa Hash 2025. We started loading the bus at 0730, but a few hashers decided they were going to breakfast at that time, and kept us waiting. Once we were all loaded, we stopped at a store for beer, that took another hour.

    Finally hitting the road, we then stopped to fuel the bus, that took another 45 minutes. So you can see this trip was going to be special. Once we got to the border of Benin, it took us over 4 hours to process, holy crap. We were so late, that once we finally arrived at the special hash site the Cotonou H3 had setup for us, we were at least 3 hours overdue.

    Since we were late, and it was drizzling rain, the hares decided to cut our trail short and just run up the beach. Not to be deterred, Dildo and I decided we were going to take over and run a real trail. Zigging and zagging along the beach front, Dildo got us started. Then he called a checkpoint, and as the pack waited, I ran out into the distance waving my phone light to signal the pack to come. I then led them over the highway to the village for a bit, and then did the same, turning it over to the original hare who said we had made it to his trail anyway, so in the end, we still had a real hash trail, albeit a bit improvised.

    We then had a nice circle with the local hashers, all in French (with a little translation mixed in). Next we still had another hour plus drive to our hotel, so it was midnight by the time we arrived. What a day, 17 hours of transport with a hash in the middle, and all was well.

    Next we have a similar encounter with the border to Togo. Let's see if things go a bit smoother today. 🙂    Read more

    Lagos H3 #2532

    September 15 in Nigeria ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    This is our final hash trail here in Nigeria as we prepare to set off on our land excursion headed towards Ghana for Pan Africa 2025 in Accra. The history of hashing in Nigeria is as follows . . .

    Hashing is more popular in Nigeria per capita, than most any other country in Africa. I cannot be totally sure, but it appears there are over 30 hash clubs here, more than the rest of Africa combined. The first hash club to form was the Lagos H3, founded by Albert Withnall on 5 Mar 1979. Albert had come to Nigeria from Singapore, where he was a legend, being appointed as the very first Grand Master of the HHH Singapore in 1974. Albert was assisted by Robin Jackson, Andrew Wilson, Angus Robertson, Bob Ashman, and Peter Taylor.

    Today, we had a city trail of about 6 kms starting and ending at Fiki Marina on the inland waterway. We had about 50 hashers on trail, as we dodged the traffic in search of the three beer stops offered up by the hares. Now I don't care about beer stops, but the pack did, and they had a great time.    Read more

    Surulere H3 - Beerathon 4.0

    September 14 in Nigeria ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    It has become an annual tradition with the SH3 to have the beerathon. It is basically a day of games and fun, then a hash trail with numerous beer checks . . . today we had 6, over a 6 km trail (as you know I don't drink on trail, and decided to score a few extra kms. Tweaked it out to 10).

    As the pack got farther into trail, and pumped in more beer, they become more hilarious. It actually was a great day on trail. Circle was the usual antics, plus a couple of namings. Then we had some snacks and relaxed a bit before heading back into the city.

    Back at the hotel, our prelube gang had a meet&greet to get things started, and pass out our goodie bags (two shirts and a Happi Coat). Tomorrow is a new day, and some of the pack will head out for a tour. For me, it is laundry day, to reduce the smell of four days of hashing.

    Tomorrow we have one final hash in Nigeria, with the Lagos H3. Tuesday it is time to board the bus and head to Benin. Wooo Hooo, more adventures.    Read more

    Ikeja H3 #1713 Yet another new adventure

    September 13 in Nigeria ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Yet another new adventure. Trail was back up near the airport, about a 40 min ride from the hotel. Bigger pack today, with nearly 50 hashers on hand.

    Trail took us through some sketchy looking areas, including an active construction site. See the photos. Overall, another great day on the hash here in Nigeria.Read more

    Apapa H3 #440

    September 12 in Nigeria ⋅ 🌧 25 °C

    Another adventure here in Lagos, this time with the Apapa H3. From chatting with the other hashers, this club always runs near the water, so today we met at the Naval Dockyards. Trail overlapped with the Thursaday Boys trail from last night, but we figured it out. Good thing they put a date on their trail marks.Read more

    Thursaday Boys H3 #1639

    September 11 in Nigeria ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    I finally made it to Nigeria, and the first hash trail was with the Boys on Thursday in Lagos. Trail was short, and all streets, with 3 beer stops . . . but had a great time chatting and SINGING with this most excellent hash club. Looking forward to several more trails this weekend here in Lagos.Read more

    Dienstag Schnitzeljagd Trupp H3 #832

    September 9 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    I strapped on the flour bag one more time, for my last hash trail in Europe for 2025. Was great to see Weenie Woman & The Saint out for a DSTH3 once again. We had about 15 on trail today, and it was a fun 8 km trail. After a morning of rain and grey skies, all cleared up by trail time, so we had lovely sunny skies in all directions.

    I am off to Nigeria tomorrow, for some new adventures.    Read more

    Stuttgart H3 #865

    September 7 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Since I had only covered 35 kms of the total 42 of Hashathon, being one of the hares, I figured one more trail was in order. I drove 2 hours from Lemberg to Stuttgart, and arrived in time to join in on the regular Sunday trail.

    I was not expecting another 11+ kms, but here we are. Nearly 47 kms for the weekend.    Read more

    German Hashathon - 2025

    September 6 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Note: this was the 750th trail I have hared over the past 40+ years of hashing.

    Getting caught up after a long weekend. I rolled into the campsite on Friday afternoon in order to scout my trail for the weekend. Hashathon is a one day, (usually) 4 trail day, with all 4 trails combined achieving the distance of a marathon. This year, due to small numbers, we did it all in 3 trails.

    My Friday afternoon scout covered 18 kms of scenic joy, trying to figure out a fun and interesting path to lead the pack on. There were a couple spots of NO JOY, that I was able to bypass on Saturday.

    After a fun Friday night around the campfire (and I made sure not to drink toooo much), I tried to get a good night's sleep so I was ready to go Saturday morning . . . BUT, elsewhere in the tent was a snorer (name redacted to be fair, not his fault he is a f*cking human lawnmower when sleeping). I got a solid 4 hours of sleep, but awoke to the old John Deere revving up. You can have a listen in the photos section.

    Anyway, as the sun broke on a new day, the pack gathered for trail 1, and off they go . . . at this time, I set off to set my trail. With a few edits along the way, and eliminating some of the worst bits, it came in at 16.5 kms. When I asked the pack if they preferred me to run it with them . . . OR . . . provide drink stops, for some reason they unanimously chose drink stops. So I got a break there, but most of the pictures I have were from the scouting, or a few from other hashers on trail.    Read more

    Frankfurt H3 - Unofficial

    September 4 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    So there I was, minding my own business, and flying from the UK to Germany. I thought since I was arriving in Frankfurt on a Thursday, I could catch the weekly hash. BUT, they had already moved to their winter schedule (back on Sunday).

    I offered to set an in-betweener, and 6 hashers turned up for some fun. It was a 7+ km offroad affair, with wild animals on display. Good times, just for the heck of it. We got lucky with the weather, as it was supposed to rain, but it held off . . . just for us. 🙂    Read more
