INTERSCANDI 2026 – Hangover Trail
June 14 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We had a great night of partying last night (yes, I eventually did leave the comfort of my bed to return), and the beer and wine was flowing . . . along with the live music. We had a fine breakfast this morning, before boarding the busses back into downtown.

Trail started in the very famous Frogner Park, in central Oslo. Mother Nature was spitting rain down on us for a bit, but it eventually cleared off about 10 minutes into trail, and from then on we enjoyed a lovely afternoon. We passed by many interesting statues, buildings, and parks, along the way to the ? Mark Bar for lunch, circle, and social drinking for an additional hour or two. My knee felt pretty good this morning, but I thought it was still the pain killer I took yesterday afternoon . . . but even now, 24 hours later, my knee still feels quite good . . . It must be a Christmas Miracle. Time will tell, let’s see how it feels tomorrow morning. 😊

Overall, the Oslo H3 has done a magnificent job hosting us this weekend. What a treat . . . great venue, excellent trails, and plenty of cold beverages.

Looking forward to Oslo H3’s regular hash tomorrow, which is . . . Run 2001: A Hash OdysseyRead more

INTERSCANDI 2026 – Main Event
June 13 in Norway ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
In my ever expanding effort to “act my age” . . . or back off and not be crippled for the rest of the day, I opted for the long trail at 14 kms, vice my usual attempt at the Ball Buster Trail, which was 25 kms. We were executing a B to A movement, getting to the train station and out to the start, when we ended up arriving at the train station about 45 minutes early, and standing around in the rain. We did have a 10 minute game of Rock/Paper/Scissors that distracted us for a bit, but dodging the rain was the main effort.

The train finally arrived, and took us up the mountain where we jumped out and took off. First we climbed to the top of the first mountain, which was fine. My knee was feeling pretty good for the first 7 kms, but just as we were descending down a steep section for the mid trail aquavit stop, I slipped on a wet rock and wrenched my knee again and that was it. I was walking from there on in, and took a short cut. That only cut off about 2 kms, but was happy to be done. From there it was a hot shower and dry clothes, and partaking of a few local adult beverages.

Once all of the pack got in and sorted, we circled up for down downs, which were entertaining with all the various hashers from around Europe. Then it was more rehydrating while we waited for dinner to be served. I am now back in my room, deciding if I want to roll over and go to sleep (Yay!!!), or rally for another hour or two of dancing and frivolity. My knee is screaming go to bed, but my party animal side is tapping me on the shoulder, and whispering in my ear that . . . you flew all the damn way to Norway for this event, GO PARTY!!

Which one will win . . . let's see how long it takes up upload these photos.Read more

Thirsty Thursday H3 - Oslo
June 11 in Norway ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
I hashed last night in Bangkok, straight back for a shower and grab my backpack, and off to the airport. Fly all night, via Dubai, and arrive here in Oslo around noon. Bus to the hotel, and just about an hour to relax before heading off to the hash here in Oslo.

It was an excellent prelube to the weekend INTERSCANDI events. But I am so tired, all I could do is run the trail, grab a burger and a couple beers, and chat up a few hashers, then right back to the hotel for hopefully a good night's sleep.

My Garmin watch must have been tired as well, as it did not want to sync up until the first km complete of this 5.5 km hilly trail through downtown Oslo. I think we had about 30 hashers in all, about half walkers and half runners. Good to see friends, but getting a good sleep tonight will make the rest of the weekend more enjoyable. On On.Read more

June 10 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 29 °C
Unlike last week, when it rained like hell the day before . . . today, it rained 15 minutes before trail, washing away all the chalk marks, and leaving the paper droopy.
Just as we set off running, the rain stopped and all was well. We still managed to find most of the trail, and worked our way around the local neighborhood to find our way back to the beer. And as they say . . . another great day on the hash.

I could not stay for dinner this time, as I am now at the airport . . . on my way to Oslo, Norway for INTERSCANDI 2026. On-On.Read more

Bangkok Monday H3 #2215
June 8 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C
Oh boy . . . I had the most passive GRAB driver ever. This drive took nearly 30 minutes longer than it should have, albeit the traffic was horrendous partially due to the rain.
Anyway, I ended up being 15 minutes late to Tinker's run by the river.

So took off and tried to catch up by cutting a few corners ZENNING. But it was fruitless, was by myself the whole time. It reminded me of my early days of hashing back in 1984 in Japan. Back then, the Okinawa H3 was always live hared, and snaring the hare was the highest objective. So there were times the hares took off in one direction, and I went the opposite, hoping to find them. I was successful a few times, but more often than not, just ended up towards the end of the pack . . . BUT, always found the end. They were also always A to B trails, by the way.

Again, on this one, I did get back to the start since it was A to A, and was not even DFL. 🙂

Had to grab a few photos from other hashers.Read more

Bangkok H3 #2514 – AGM
June 6 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
Another year has come and gone, and a new committee has been formed for the next year. After nearly 7 years of vagabond living, I have semi, sort of, pounded a stake in the ground and will call Bangkok home for a while, as I have been appointed the new HonSec for the Bangkok H3. This should be fun.

Trail was an excellent 7+ kms of dirt and mud . . . set by Kamikaze-Ali and Horny Viking, out past Don Mueang Airport. Plenty of excellent checks, and dashing along on the rice paddies. Circle was all the usual stuff, and then dinner that included the announcement of the new committee. All to be revealed in an upcoming hash trash.Read more

June 4 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
It almost looked like rain at the start, but all was well and although we (make that me) were still covered in sweat, it did not rain. It was an excellent trail though, hared by Hotlips, Pom, and one other harriette . . . the all-girl super hare team. Trail was about 7.5 kms of twists and turns in the dark. I am still nursing a messed up knee, but was able to do some running. But was at the back of the pack the whole time, so mostly by myself. Good thing the pack was marking the checks. Yes, yes . . . another great day on the hash.

We had one naming, but hell if I can remember what it was. He recently moved here from Trinidad, and he had a shirt on, with FP on the front. His name is something F**** P****, very original.Read more

Bangkok Harriettes #2266
June 3 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C
It was another last minute fill in for another hasher that could not set trail, so I volunteered. I looked around and found an area that I had sort of half scouted on previous adventures, and cobbled it all together. Turned out pretty good, but not without some drama. I went out the day before to get a solid scouting effort in, but about ¾ of the way through, it started to rain . . . and rain hard. Abort that, but had to go out early on the day to finish up scouting before setting trail. Thank goodness it all worked as planned.

The pictures tell the story of the rain, and I made a couple minor adjustments to work around flooded areas but still got plenty of shiggy, grassy, dirty, options included, for a fine 7 km excursion. I had a good time, so I am sure the pack did as well. After a good dinner, rode back into town, and while walking home got caught in the rain again. But was only 5 min away, so just walked it, arriving soaking wet, and straight into the shower, so no worries. Another great day on the hash.

Thanks to the pack, for all the great photos.Read more

Having a little knee trouble this week, so had to walk trail. The Nigerian hared this one from the Hidden Lighthouse, and it was an excellent trail. Really good turnout as well, with nearly 40 hashers on hand. Several returners, and a couple visitors from Tampa, Florida. Those two could not stop talking in circle, so called themselves out several times. Dinner was excellent as well, so another great day on the hash.Read more

May 30 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C
Another excellent trail on the outskirts of Bangkok. We ventured way out to the east, to Nong Chok for this 7 km romp through green rice fields and dirt tracks of shiggy. It was a rather humid day, but the temps were cooler with an overcast sky. Other than running into the hares a couple times, mocking us on trail as we ran by, it was an great day out in the fresh air.

Circle was well timed, not too long. Dinner was excellent . . . and then the long drive back to town . . . but WELL worth it. Good job to Krinkle Kut and Ladyboy for another great day on the hash.Read more

It was our AGM tonight, and the outgoing GM pulled out all the stops. Trail was excellent, dinner was free, and fun was had by all. We had a pretty good turnout on a Friday night, lots of good energy. The new committee was announced, so we are set up for another great year of hashing.

So we'll leave it at another great time on the hash here in Bangkok.Read more

Chiang Mai H3 #1640
May 25 in Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
One more trail in Chiang Mai before heading back to Bangkok. We had the 45th Anniversary celebration on Sunday, and this one was the AGPU. Smaller pack, but just as much fun.

The hare stated trail would be shorter, something like 4 kms . . . wrong. With checking, I got 6 kms . . . but still rather short. Had some good shiggy, and the checks were tough, so kept the pack together as most were walking anyway.

Congrats to the CH3 for 45 years of success, and here's to the next 45 years. On On.Read more

Chiang Mai H3 #1639 (45th Anniversary Run)
May 24 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C
The Chiang Mai H3 was founded on 21 May 1981 by Charlie 'Radar' Graham, who had previously hashed in Bangkok, and he was assisted by Ian 'Calves' Law. This club runs on Monday evenings, and is still very active. If you would like to read more of the history of hashing in Thailand, check it out at https://www.gotothehash.net/history/ItS-Thailan…

The trail on Sunday was excellent, with plenty of shiggy (and two water crossings). At nearly 9 kms, we got in a bit of everything you can imagine. Rice Paddies, streams, walls, fields of green, farmers out tending their crops . . . you name it (check out the photos).
Now, the circle . . . all the usual down downs were doled out, and some remembrances for the older chaps that have been around here for a long time. BUT, as the world's foremost historian on HHH history, there were a few things I just could not let slide (all in fun that is). First, when I got the email for the event, they included a claim of being the second oldest hash club in Thailand . . . so had to inform them they are actually the third hash club. So then they changed it to the Oldest Male Hash in Thailand . . . had to correct them on that as well, as the Bangkok H3 is older (and still active) male hash here, and it is quite likely the first one (Ubon Ratchathani H3 founded in 1966, but defunct), was probably male only as well. To top it all off, Superman, who was on run number 1 (and was wearing the shirt from that run - which I just noticed has the wrong date on it 🙂 ), showed that they had actually lifted the Bangkok H3 logo for their first shirt . . . see the evidence in the photos. After mentioning all that, for a good laugh, my hash buddy who shall remain names (ibo ibo) played sea lawyer, and refuted the claim and treated me to a down down as well. All in fun.

It was an awesome day on the hash, and today is the actual AGPU, so more fun to be had this afternoon.Read more

Chiang Mai Saturday H3 #1813
May 23 in Thailand ⋅ 🌧 30 °C
It was an excellent 8 kms of shiggy trail, with just enough hills to make it interesting, but not toooooo much to kill me. 🙂 It was only a 35 min ride out of town to the run site, and well worth it. We had about 25 hashers on hand, and they all were quite lively.
Circle was energetic, with ice, and lots of down downs. Dinner followed, and that was crazier than the circle. I thought we'd have a few beers with dinner, but the food kept coming . . . and so did the beer. These guys can party. 🙂Read more

Another humid evening, with hazy gray skies that looked like potential rain . . . but it held off. It was a shorter than usual trail, only about 5.5 kms. First half had many fun and interesting twists and turns, but then the second half was pretty much long straightaways on residential streets . . . but we still had fun.Read more

May 20 in Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C
This was an "interesting" trail, the marks kept us guessing throughout. The pack ended up all spread out in the park, so ended up doing much of the check breaking, but always a good time even if a bit frustrating.

As the pack drifted in to the finish, we had good conversation (about the trail). Once we were all assembled, and the down downs were starting to be poured . . . the wind picked up quickly, and we could see the down pour about to happen. So we grabbed our stuff and headed for shelter. Got doused a bit just before reaching cover, but fortunately still had the wet hash clothes on, so all good.

We are entering the rainy season, so this is probably not the last time this will happen in the coming months. As always, another great day on the hash.Read more

The ladies hared this one, and one may be taken by the shape of trail, and the associated marks. You can decide . . . 🙂 Looks a little like a phallus.

Anyway, despite the comparison, it was a good run surrounded by many unhappy dogs. Some of us had a find canine adjustment tools to ward off the little buggers. All in all, we had a pretty good sized pack, and we all enjoyed trail and circle, followed by a tasty dinner of Thai cuisine. Another great day on the hash.

We did, however, have a gang of three gents that needed a taxi to extract themselves from trail, and ended up taking a bit of a joy ride before carefully jumping out a few hundred meters from the end. Unfortunately for them, another hasher witnessed the return to trail, and called them out. Down downs for the three of them. 🙂Read more

It was a slightly overcast day, which helped keep the temps down a bit for this excellent 8 km trail out on the western side of town. Hares Bullet and No Good Boyo kept us guessing all day. Well, they kept me guessing, as I seemed to get every check wrong today. Fortunately my toe is not holding me back anymore . . . it is still a bit mangled, but on the mend.

It was a city run for sure, but dashing through all the little alleyways in the dark was a blast. So much fun. We had several visitors on hand, that were taking advantage of being in SE Asia after Interhash. Two notable guests were Bruce Almighty and Hugheee Blarrrrrhh from Scotland. Pound for pound, the happiest hashers around. 🙂

I took a few pics, but they all looked like crap, so had to poach a few from my friends. Another great trail, and a good run. Good times in Bangkok.Read more

I had a great three weeks in Turkey and Indonesia, but it's good to be back in Bangkok. Also, I was able to run for the first time in 10 days, and that was so good that I forgot to take any pictures . . . so had to snag a few from fellow hashers (thanks Pom).

Trail was in a popular, often used location. Codpiece and No Boyfriend put their own twist on the area for a fun run on a warm but comfortable evening. Hopeless from Hong Kong is in town for a few day as well. Good times on the hash.Read more

INTERHASH 2026 – Sunday Funday
May 10 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Another round of trails, followed by a big closing ceremony and party. We got the results of the vote for IH 2028 . . . It was a close split between Korea and Kuching, but Kuching got the nod in the end. I was an observer for the vote counting, and will be publishing a clear analysis of how the process worked (transparency).

A hearty WELL DONE to the IH 2026 Committee for organizing and hosting a great weekend event. Once the beer issue got sorted on the second day, all was well . . . and the closing party on Sunday was the best part of the whole weekend.

This wraps up 3 weeks of craziness, with the first week in Istanbul for the Solstice Hash On Tour (SHOT). That was followed by a week in Jakarta for their 3000th hash weekend. And finally the past week in Yogyakarta for Interhash. 3 weeks, 11 hash runs (hared 3 times), and now ready for a break. Well, at least until the Bangkok Harriettes trail on Wednesday. 😊Read more

INTERHASH 2026 - Main Event
May 9 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
We had the Red Dress Run yesterday, and the opening ceremony celebration . . . but this is what we have all been waiting for . . . the Main Event. Indonesia is such a beautiful country, and the hash trails are always amazing. I am still recovering from my little foot accident last weekend, so opted for the medium trail today, and even foolishly ran for awhile, but mostly walked.

Overall, this event has not been without a hiccup of two, but in general, the logistics have been amazing, with multiple locations, trail sites, and venue. The bus drivers are incredible, how they can maneuver these large commercial busses along all the tiny roads and back around in the parking lots. The food is exceptional for such a large event . . . the only real issue has been the beer. Last night the lines were nearly an hour long wait. Today at the trail sites, same problem. BUT, the committee has picked up on the issue, and for the dinner and celebration this evening, the beer lines were nearly non-existent. You could basically walk right up and grab a full beer already poured and waiting.

After several cultural and artistic acts provided by the local performers, there were three hash skits performed . . . and then the down down competition completed the stage action. Oily Mango from Japan won for the harriettes, and Messiah from Toronto (actually from Rochester) won for the harriers in a time of just over 40 seconds.
Finally, the dance music took over, and the field was hopping with hundreds of hashers shaking their booties.

Tomorrow morning, the votes will be counted, and we will know for sure where the next Interhash will be held. The bids came from Kenya, Korea, Kuching, and Kuala Lumpur. I am on the Kenya Committee, so you know where my vote was cast for. All the bids were good, so which ever one wins, it will surely be another great event. More to follow . . .Read more

Sad Cow H3 #10 (prelube to INTERHASH 2026)
May 6 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Several months ago, I was invited to hare this event here in Yogyakarta. Very rarely do I ever turn down an invitation like that. The day started out with many actions required. First, I had to change hotels, because the one I ended up in, was NOT the one that the pictures looked like. It was like Tinder, and the photos were all doctored up, but when I met it in person, it was uuuugly.

So I started the day by changing hotels, and now in a sweet room with a king sized bed, plenty of room to drop my stuff, and an awesome shower with hot water (nothing like the place I moved out of). With that done, it was a quick stop at the market for some flour, and meeting up with my co-hare Golden Showers. He was setting the long trail (7 kms), and due to my unfortunate accident, I set the walker's trail (4 Kms). There was some overlap, but my trail actually had more shiggy than the running trail . . . many were not surprised by this.

By the time we shouted ON ON . . . it was already dark, so torches were required for some areas of trail. The pack did very well to navigate it all, and we all came back together for dinner, drinks, and a robust circle with RA Cosmo and Sparerib.

I have not seen many pics yet from trail, but will add them when I can find them. Here are a few I took on the way back to my hotel after trail.Read more

Jakarta H3 #3001
You may have heard that old song about

"Why I can't go hashing today"

I was planning to take it easy today, just do the short trail, as I tweaked my knee yesterday. But then you just never know. While waiting for trail to start, I slipped on the wet tile floor and tried to take my toe off.

Nothing serious, but best not to go out on a muddy trail and make a mess of it.

So I just sat and waited until the pack returned. Then it started to rain.Read more

Jakarta H3 #3000 Well, we made it back. Meeting i
May 2 in Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
Well, we made it back. Meeting in town, we started with a 2 hour bus ride to the run site. The start was at a swanky hotel, we were out back somewhere. We set off at 1430 with three trail options, short, medium, and long. Fool that I am, it was off to the LONG trail.

On the bright side, it was absolutely one of the best trails I have ever run (which is saying a LOT). Shiggariffic and awesome dirt trail the whole way. The first 4kms, it was sunny and bright, then the sky clouded over for the next 4kms, then it rained for about half an hour and made the otherwise awesome dirt trail a muddy slippery mess. So that made the last 4 kms a slow go, as there were many steep downhill sections that muddied up many asses. Looking at the trail map, it appears my Garmin zoned out early on (when I fell on my ass), and lost track of the first 7 kms . . . but recorded the whole 13 kms of joy.

As the pack reassembled, we eventually circled up for a long ass down down session, followed up with a lite food serving . . . THEN, an even longer ride back into town, well over 2 hours coming back. Uggh, if the trail was not so damn good, I might think about taking the day off tomorrow . . . but we'll be back on the bus in the morning, for the same 2+ hour ride both ways to Jakarta H3 #3001. GET SOME!!!!Read more
