Doha H3 #1366 & Doha Nightcrawlers H3 #155

Back to back hash trails in Doha this week, running with the Doha H3 on Wednesday and the Nightcrawlers on Thursday. Ramadan begins on Saturday, so plans for each of the two trails got curtailed at the last moment, but we had a great time none the less. Trail on Wednesday had us running around Dildo Dan’s neighborhood, with the on-in and circle on his lanai, followed by dinner at a local Sri Lankan restaurant. For the Thursday Nightcrawler’s trail, Dildo offered me the opportunity to join him setting trail. Not often do I get the chance to just be a mule for another lead hare, and set falsies, so it was an easy effort. An excellent plan was executed to make it up as we go. We finished setting trail just in time to meet the pack of about 30. Sending them off on trail, we then ran along with them as they scurried along through the streets of central Doha. As with many big cities, there was lots of construction . . . and traffic. Trail was about 5 kms of pavement, but we did manage to find some alleyways, a parking garage, with a small park or two, and the on home through a massive construction site. We did not linger outside, but went straight up into the Red Lion Pub that serves a wide verity of international beers. Throw in a burger or a plate of nachos, and the entire pack was happy. A great night with great hashers, and fun times in Qatar.Weiterlesen
