There were 7 Hangzhou HZH3 members in attendence, including one baby who did the Hash walk strapped to his daddy’s chest. Plus about 30 runners and walkers from Shanghai. Hangzhou Hash members participating were: H.E.I.D.E., plus Mrs Heide and Baby Heide, Triple-X, “Elaine”, “Eva” and yours truly Sweet FA.
There was, of course, a perfect Hash trail laid by the hares from Shanghai (Stick Massage and Math Factor). In fact, as a measure of how good a trail was set, and of the synchronicity of Shanghai Taiping Hash runners, one Shanghai Taiping Hash runner even made it to HOME before the hares…
The trail began in the 6 Harmonies Pagoda carpark, then went up and down steep and not steep hills and through winding paths and forested trails, then entered and exited secretive mountain valley tea fields, and finally ended up at a superb NongJia Cai Guan Farmer’s Restaurant) just a few hundred metres west of the 9 Creeks track bus station.
Oh, and the Shanghai Taiping Hashers had a great and problem free bus trip to Hangzhou too. And, by “great and problem free”, I do of course mean they encountered endless roadblocks and traffic jams and it took them 5 hours!!! So, instead of the hares setting off at 1pm, it was actually after 3pm.
Luckily, everyone (Hash walkers (including 2 Hash babies) and Hash runners/joggers and several Hash virgins) made it HOME by late dusk and a fine circle and Bash ensued.
Thanks to Witch’s Tit (Jen, visiting from Idaho, USA) and Elaine for most of the photos!
Join us for the next official Hash run/walk on Sat, 22 Feb 2014. It will be the first homegrown HZH3 Hash event in about 3 years… We’re back!!!!
On! On!
Sweet FA
