For those who are bored, want to do something a little different, and at the same time meet people of all ages, and all nationalities (well, OK, we don't have any Welsh! (yet!!!!)), then why not come along to the First Buenos Airies Hash House Harriers Event of Spring.
I regularly post the details of the Buenos Aires Hash House Harriers runs in the Events Forum on here, but in case you haven't checked out the regular posts there, I thought it would be useful to explain what Hashing is to newcomers and those looking for something fun to do on a Sunday morning.
If you are unsure what hashing is all about, it is known as "The Drinking Club with A Running problem". Basically we meet up, and some people (the hares) have run ahead and set a trail for the rest (the pack) to follow. Now, you can run hard, be athletic, or you can plod along, even walk, the trail caters for all sorts, and everyone is welcome, from 2 to 92. Its non-competitive, a fun way to see the place, and once the running/walking is over, we all settle down, enjoy a few beers, a bite to eat (hence the small charge), and swop tales and jokes, and make friends - some you will have for life! Here in Buenos Aires we have a good mix of ex-pats and locals alike. If you are not careful you might well get a down-down, but i won't explain that to the uninitiated, you will just have to come along to see for yourselves.
Seriously - it's not serious - It's fun, and as I say, a great way to meet people. If you are travelling around, you are likely to find Hash House Harriers in most major cities around the world, and even some very remote places have kennels (the name given to a local hash). So, come along, give it a try, you will return.....
We Hash every two weeks, and this weeks is Sunday, Sept 26th, in the City Centre, meeting at 11 am, for an 11.30 run, Corner of Esmeralda and Arenales (near the fountain on the corner), and just bring aloing a drinking vessel, a bowl, a fork, a few pesos ($20), yourselves, and dress for a little trot around the city....
What better way to welcome in Spring (or recover from that Saturday night hangover!).....
