2025 -Time Marches On On . . .

I get to cross another country off the list, ones that I have previously been to, but did not get to hash. Today I got a trail in here in Botswana, with the Kalahari H3.

I inquired in advance, to make sure I was here at the right time to catch a hash, and was informed that they hash every Sunday morning. So with that confirmed, I arrived after hashing in Mozambique. At first I was a bit concerned, as I was getting only short or even one word answers to my questions. But not to worry, once I arrived at the start, every hasher was more than kind to welcome visitors.

From the start, (meet time was 0830 on a Sunday morning) a quick circle was formed to explain the trail and then we were off. There were roughly 20 hashers on hand, and 4 of us did the runner's trail, which was a fun 7 km city trail, with a few bits of shiggy thrown in for fun.

At the end (we started at the hares home), there was a sophisticated selection of local and international beverages, of which I sampled a few (there was also some tasty snacks). We soon circled up after all had finished trail, and the revelry commenced. All the usual down downs were conducted, hares, virgins, visitors, accusations, etc. and they were so kind to gift me a hash T-shirt.

After the circle, a few of us sat around for another beverage, and a chit chat about hashing in Botswana. Then, even before noon, we were all off on to enjoy the rest of our day.

Many thanks to the Kalahari H3 for a most excellent trail and all the hashpatality. On On.Leggi altro
