    Bangkok Monday H3 #2164

    June 18, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 34 °C

    So great to be back in Bangkok, where I can get a serious sweat going on trail. I have very much enjoyed the past month in Europe (with a couple stopovers in Asia), but it was cooler there. Speaking of the past month, actually the past 2 weeks . . . I was fortunate enough to hash in 4 different countries already, in June . . . Germany, India, Indonesia, and now Thailand. Happy Days!!

    Tonight's trail was an excellent 8+ kms out near the airport, with tons of great twists and turns, alleyways, and khlong paths. Looking forward to the next month in Thailand.    Read more

    Bangkok Thursday H3 #486

    June 19, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C

    It was a warm, but humid evening here in Bangkok, and rain clouds were gathering. The RA waved her arms and the rain held off until well into dinner time, so no worries.

    We had an excellent 6.5 km trail, but when you are out checking and breaking checks, you often get a bit extra. I got 8,1 this evening, but it was an awesome trail, with tons of great khlong paths and alley ways. Hats off to the hares, Gung and Boobalube, for this fun trail.Read more

    Bangkok H3 #2464

    June 21, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C

    It has taken me 23 years to get to 33 trails with the Bangkok H3. Most of them have been superb trails, with plenty of shiggy . . . today was not one of them. 🙂 As you can see from the map, it was a lot of boxing in and out, but mostly along linear elements. Despite all that, of course we had a great time. You know the rest. On On.Read more

    Siam Sunday H3 #634

    June 22, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    Trail started very near to the same start point we had yesterday on the Bangkok H3 . . . but what a difference a day makes. Yesterday, it was a very boxing sort of effort of trail . . . but today, it was completely AWESOME. We actually overlapped yesterday's trail for about 500 meters, but no harm no foul. Well done to Eton for setting this super shigafied trail.Read more

    Bangkok Monday H3 #2165

    June 23, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C

    Our hare today has been hashing for a while, but has not received a hash name yet . . . so, just NHN Dave. He also hared for the first time here in Bangkok today, so cheers to that. Always a daunting task to hare in a new place for the first time. It also didn't help, that we had a bit of a drizzle an hour before go time. Anyway, I say all that to say this . . . although it was well marked, considering the rain, it was not a stellar trail today, but giving our new friend Dave all the credit he deserves for setting trail for the first time in Bangkok. Well done for that, and I am sure his future efforts will be better.Read more

    Memorial Fiertel Walk

    June 29, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    No hashing today, but we did gather for a 32 km hike up north of Bangkok for a special event, as follows from our organizer.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++

    Occasion: Memorial Fiertel Walk.
    History: In the beginning, there was darkness…

    LadyBoy (aka me), as you are well aware, was born in Ronse, Belgium (Google it). Ronse is an OLD city, on the southern border of Flanders. It is supposed to have Roman roots. It certainly has Spanish influence, as they have tortillas! But we digress.

    The patron Saint (Flanders is Catholic) of the city is St. Hermes (also the patron saint of the mentally challenged, aka possessed by the devil). It is his bones that are being carried around the city every year, in a shrine, on a tour around the city. This tour goes from chapel to chapel and is followed by thousands of people. This route is on the hilltops that surround the city.

    LadyBoy’s grandfather carried the shrine (bones) for over 60 years. His uncle (who is now 95 years old - and passed away last year) has beaten the record of his father and was still doing some of the carrying till 2 years ago.

    The route around the city is 32 km. The city is situated in a valley, where the procession starts and stops. The procession ends with the shrine being carried into the city, accompanied by a group of people re-enacting some historical scenes. The high point is when the devil himself is being led down the hill into the city, guarded by a Roman soldier!

    Oh … I did forget the “belleman”. He walks the funny walk and rings the bells in front of the shrine.

    LadyBoy has done quite a few of these strolls, when he was younger, usually with his family.

    Now the history lesson ends, with this last bit of information.
    Five years ago, the father of LadyBoy passed away, a few days before the Fiertel was scheduled. That was somehow for the Vandenhoucke family a sign that we had to do the 32 km Fiertel in honor of his passing away. That is how another tradition started.

    In Conclusion. You are all invited to join me on the walk. Date and time in the header. Hope to see you all.
    LadyBoy - Aka Peter.

    ++++++++++++++++++

    And so we did, about a dozen of us joined Peter for what took us about 7 hours to complete. We started in the blazing sun, along with a couple hours of overcast . . . then the last hour or so was in the rain. But there was plenty of beer to keep our throats from getting too dry.    Read more

    Bangkok Monday H3 #2166

    June 30, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    After yesterday's 32 km hike, I was not sure how well the old pegs were going to hold up today. I did take a leisurely day of laying in bed, with only a short trip to the laundromat and lunch to venture out today. At the last minute, I jumped in a taxi and headed out to the run site. Of the dozen or so on the hike yesterday, only 4 of us turned up today.

    With a pack of about 15, we set off on the Checkless trail. Checkless was the hare, not the content of the trail. Anyway, trail was a most excellent mixture of khlong paths, dirt tracks, and alleyways, and was very well marked (and the last 100 meters was in ankle deep water). An awesome day on the hash.

    Bangkok Harriettes #2220

    July 2, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Paying my annual dues, setting trail for the Ladies Hash. I always try to find an area that has not been done recently, and this is what I came up with. An interesting 7.5 kms of titillating fun, with plenty of twists and turns. One fine hasher, Tokoro Ten, went off with the pack, but 25 minutes later called me in a panic, saying he has scoured the area around the (VERY FIRST) check, and cannot find trail. I was already into my second. maybe even third, large beer, but I said hang tight, I will walk around the corner and get you set. So I did, just 3 minutes from the start, he said he had already run 4 kms, but was lost. I showed him the pack arrows, that took him less than 30 meters away, and up an alley, with 3 pack arrows prominently on display, and hanging his head low . . . he scampered off in chase of the pack.

    Circle was a wild and crazy buckfest of accusations and fun, and it spilled over into dinner, where almost the entire pack of about 20 hashers turned up. All in all, a fun day on the hash.    Read more

    Bangkok Thursday H3 #488

    July 3, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    We had a solid pack of 20-25 hashers, and we also had another first time hare (Just Jess), setting trail in Bangkok for the first time. Despite a few rookie mistakes, she did quite well. Trail meandered up and down various streets, then crossed a major bridge on one side, then looped back down the other side. By this point it was getting dark. Most of the markings were pretty good, but the pack hit one check near a cemetery, and things got wonky. A few stalwart hounds eventually found the actual trail, but some of us wandered around until we found trail some distance from that point . . . and some just aborted trail altogether and ran to the end by any means available.

    Anyway, the pack trickled in to the finish over 45 min to an hour and enjoyed a some cold adult beverages while the last few made their way in. We then circled up for a few down downs, and one naming. Our hare, Just Jess, was brought in for examination. Many names were suggested, but in the end it was her courage of haring alone, for the first time in Bangkok, and the thought that she must have some big testicles (figuratively). So a fitting name eventually prevailed, so hence forth and forever more, she will be known as Jessticles.

    Welcome to the hash family Jessticales, and thanks for setting trail for us.    Read more

    Bangkok H3 #2466

    July 5, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    It was a beautiful day for a hash, and our hare TINKER set a splendid 9 km shiggy trail. Some of the boys had gone up north to run with the Lana Bush Hash, but we still had a good pack of about 20 on hand to enjoy this one. Another great day on the hash.Read more

    Bangkok Monday H3 #2167

    July 7, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C

    We met deep in the local village outside Chang Erawan, for a rare Hazukashii & Virginia Slim tag team haring effort. As you can see from the first picture, VS is as happy as a pig in sh*t as he brandishes his favorite garden utensil, with delusions of Crocodile Dundee.

    To kick things off, we got a call days after all the arrangements had been made, that the chef got COVID, so the restaurant was closed. Further coordination ensured we could still park there and hold the run (so we arranged for pizza to be delivered).

    The pack assembled on schedule, and after the customary introductions and chalk talk . . . away they go (with the knowledge of virgin territory to come). Of course, Boob and Incomplete Erection started early to accommodate walking, and despite the knowledge of virgin territory, they thought they knew better and departed from trail only to end of way off track, and way DFL.

    FRB, Hand Cream, had no issues with trail, and finished in just over an hour on this 7.5 km adventure, even stopping to enjoy a very rare beer check on a Haz trail. Most of the rest of the pack came in at a bit over 90 minutes, while Boob & IE came in at over 2 hours.

    With the GM out of town, former GM Maverick entertained the pack with a few down downs, ensuring to recognize our 3 visitors, and then the pizza arrived. Chow down hogs, and grab a beer.    Read more

    Bangkok Harriettes #2221

    July 9, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    It was a somewhat short but entertaining trail. We had lots of zigging and zagging down back alleys and khlong paths, a beer stop and a prosecco stop (our hare was obviously sucking up to the harriettes). 🙂

    The circle was fun, with plenty of barbs thrown back and forth, but we got turned away from the planned restaurant . . . so we just wandered back towards the MRT station and found another. Just another great day on the hash.    Read more

    Sumo H3 #1000

    July 12, 2025 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Just a quick fly in from Bangkok to Tokyo to enjoy a great hash weekend with my friends of the Sumo H3. I had the good fortune to bring this hash to life back in 2002, and they are still going strong.

    We had an awesome 8 Km trail on Saturday, followed by a beer soaked amazing dinner with so much good food to eat. On Sunday, we had another most excellent trail to sooth our hangovers.

    Well done to the Sumo H3 for 23 years of hashing. Next year will mark the 50th Anniversary of the Tokyo H3 and 50 years of Hashing in Japan. That will be taking place in July 2026.    Read more

    Sumo H3 #1000.1

    July 13, 2025 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Sunday hangover trail after a great day of hashing and partying yesterday. We had a nice calm 5 kms of fun, and an interesting circle with live music. We followed that up with gyoza, since Utsunomiya is the Japanese capital of gyoza, if not the world.

    This was a super fast trip. I landed at Haneda Airport at 0600 Saturday morning, and departed at midnight on Sunday. 42 hours on the ground in Japan.    Read more

    Bangkok Monday H3 #2168

    July 14, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Just back from a whirlwind trip up to Japan to celebrate the 1000th running of the Sumo H3, and lacking sleep . . . but it was a hashing day! So off I go . . .

    Drunken Donut (with a little help from Sexy Lashes) set an awesome 9 km A to B trail out in Chinatown. As we assembled at the start, the skies looked a bit daunting, and then the wind kicked up with sh*t blowing around everywhere. Looked like rain . . . but fortunately we only got a couple drops. Good thing too, as most of the trail was marked in chalk. Could have been a disaster if it rained.

    The pack was held together pretty well, with numerous FT and back checks, through the maze of tiny alleyways and khlong paths we enjoyed in search of the ever awaiting beer cooler at the end.

    As the pack reassembled at the end, for Bastille Day, our hares arranged for some French treats of bread, cheese, pate, and wine as we waited for circle to kick off . . . very tasty. Circle was the usual, and then we ended with a fine dinner. Great day on the hash, but a good night's sleep sure made it even better. On On!    Read more

    Bangkok Harriettes #2222

    July 17, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    It was a landmark occasion for the harriettes as they reached their 2222nd hash trail in Bangkok (second only to Bangkok H3 founded in 1977). Founded on 17 March 1982 (one week after the Bangkok Monday H3, but have completed more trails), by Janet Baker, with the assistance of Christine Morf.

    Often referred to as the ‘Friendliest Hash in Bangkok, Janet Baker explained the founding like this . . .

    “Tony ‘Godfather’ Erswell (a.k.a. Ambrose) urged Christine Morf and me to start the Bangkok Harriettes, as he felt there were a number spouses of active Members of the All Male Bangkok H3 who would like to run and who would enjoy the spirit of the hash. We talked it over and deigned to give it a try. However, we really didn’t think it would fly. We decided to lay the first five runs in Lumpini Park until we got the hang of the whole thing. We had quite a group for our first run, but it was padded with female staffers of the Bangkok Post! Well, we got some good publicity out of it!”
    Although the Bangkok Harriettes started out as a women’s only club, eventually men were allowed and it became a mixed hash. Christine Morf was a regular in the beginning, but departed Thailand after the 50th run, she commented that “After 2-3 months we had trumped up a pack of around 20 harriettes, but I don’t really remember when we allowed men to join. Maybe it was after I left?”

    Congratulations to the Bangkok Harriettes for over 40 years of great hashing.

    Now back to today's trail . . . the highlight was the fashionable T-shirts provided by The Senator, our hare for the day.    Read more

    Bangkok Thursday H3 #489

    July 17, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    It was one of those days. We had a fairly rookie hare, and he made the critical mistake of marking trail with chalk, on the ground. The mistake was, that it is the rainy season, and a half hour before the start, it rained. Marks became faded, if not completely washed away.

    In a way, it was kind of fun treating it like an Easter Egg hunt, dashing around from street to street, alleyway to alleyway, khlong to khlong, looking for marks. After about the first 2 kms, the pack got all separated, and many punted and just went back to the start. Some of us had fun just running around errantly, enjoying the evening.

    Eventually, one of the long time local hashers took over and marked the last 3-4 kms on back to the finish, that some of us found. In the end, all good. Another fun evening.    Read more

    Bangkok H3 #2468

    July 19, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 29 °C

    We had rain for about 30 minutes, prior to starting trail, but it stopped about 20 min before we ran and all was well. Other than some wet feet, we managed to make our way around. BUT, our hares had left the paper sooooooo far apart, we ended up finding trail off a check that was headed back rather than out. Problem was, we ended up following it backwards because we did not know, until we circled back to the original check. Then we went back to the paper in question, and found the way out. The map shows the confusion vs what the actual trail was. The hares got a couple extra down downs, and all was well.

    It was also my 4000th lifetime hash trail, but whatever. 🙂    Read more

    Bangkok Monday H3 #2169

    July 21, 2025 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Another excellent 4x2 trail. It was a B-A adventure starting with a 30 min shuttle to the start. It was only about 4 kms away, but took half an hour due to traffic. 🙂 Once we arrived, it was a quick chalk talk and off we go.
    Mostly back and forth on various khlong paths, with plenty of checks to keep the front runners together. After all had returned, we had a fun circle then dinner.

    It has been awesome hashing in Thailand for the past few weeks, now off to Europe for a few more.    Read more

    Bayern Nash Hash 2025

    July 26, 2025 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

    The jet lag has been a bit rough this week, after an 11 hour flight from Bangkok to Frankfurt (but slowly catching up on sleep). Had a good trail today with our host Nuremberg H3.

    The forecast had lots of rain for today, but after sacrificing two goats and a parakeet, we ended up with fair skies all day. Trail was mostly through local parks and various streets, and we even ran through a parkrun site (which a handful of hashers took part in earlier this morning).

    Dinner was excellent, with some of the local Nuremberg bratwurst, and beer of course. Yet again, sleep is calling, so maybe will eventually catch up. 🙂    Read more

    Stuttgart H3 #861

    July 27, 2025 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    I skipped the hangover trail at Bayern Nash Hash, in hopes of getting a more substantial trail down in Stuttgart. Good choice . . . got a fun shiggy 12.5 km trail, and that's all she wrote.

    We had about 15 hashers on hand, for this flatlander's trail. We had a bit of rain before we set off, so some of the marks took extra effort to find, but we made it all the way around, all good. This should help me sleep.Read more

    Dienstag Schnitzeljagd Trupp H3 #826

    July 29, 2025 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    For the hash history buffs, you are aware that hashing has its roots in the kids game of hare & hounds. This fun is not limited to the children of England, but has also made its way to Germany. German kids play Schnitzeljagd (Google it), but they most often use sawdust . . . but they also use chalk in the school yard and other paved areas. Check out the name of this hash club above (I founded this hash back in 2009).

    I have run across a few trails while out in the wooded area, but today we had a check not too far into trail, and I ran into the school yard to find an arrow, then a check, then even more. And they just so happened to be using the same colored chalk our hare used today. Check out the video below.

    Trail today was an excellent 7.5 kms that ended at a free rock concert in town, an AC/DC tribute band. The band was pretty good, but the lead singer was lacking. Check out those videos attached as well. Another great day on the hash.    Read more

    Frankfurt H3 #2078

    July 31, 2025 in Germany ⋅ 🌩️ 22 °C

    We had rain off and on all day, and when we met up at the start, our hare informed us that the trail was set yesterday . . . so good luck. Fortunately, we were able to find most of the marks and managed to complete the trail in good form.

    Circle was hilarious, with plenty of barbs getting thrown around . . . and since this is our founder's birthday, we assembled the hash choir and sang a fine tune. Great times on the hash here in Germany.    Read more
