Hashing is a world wide phenomenon,The Birmingham hash is a new hash group and is one of many hashes throughout the UK.
What is this all about?
Running walking socialising partying
The Hash House Harriers is called by some the drinking club with a running problem. This is not far from the truth! Once or twice a month on a Saturday a group of us get together to follow a trail laid out the day before by a fellow hasher known as a hare. The trail starts at a pub and finishes back at the same pub.
The trails are usually set in the countryside / more picturesque parts of the Greater Birmingham area. The run / jog is not competitive; the aim is for everyone to end up back at the pub together and have sociable fun.
Three white blobs in a row mean the trail goes in this direction; a call of ‘On! On!’ indicates the trail has been found. A circle indicates a check; these are located at junctions and mean that all of the directions should be checked out until three blobs of flour are found. A call of ‘On You!’ means ‘does the trail go this way?’
We now have a regular group of walkers who do a shorter course so that the ruuners and walkers all end up back at the pub at the same time
Cost is £2 per hash
