Recent Run Reports

#1010 - (Probably) The Last Dong Nai Hookers Run
Hash Scribe:Basil Thrush

"Something was definitely wrong! Paddy Fag was on the bus at 1.58 asking "What are we waiting for???" Well, normally, we're waiting for Paddy Fag!!! It was a packed bus that headed for the golf course which is a favourite haunt of hare Lost Our Seoul....or should I say 'WAS'. The owners of the golf course have been clearing the land like there's no tomorrow. Gone are the forest and plantations, swapped for bare, scorched earth for future tennis and sports facilities and what appears to be a second golf course for the wealthy elite. Another good place for Hash runs has disappeared. The runners were dropped off first and then our friendly bus driver disappeared. Apparently the place was giving him the..."(read the rest).

#1009 - The Australia Day/AGPU Run
Hash Scribe:Basil Thrush

"It was bleedin' obvious by 1345 that we'd need more than one bus. The crowd outside the Caravelle was already big by the time those from the AGPU arrived. We all cambered on board at 1355 to see how many leftovers there were - about 13. Two maxi-taxis catered for them(cheaper than a second bus). We headed to Binh Duong and didn't get there until 1515....a marathon trip. The weather was warm and thankfully much of the trail was in the shade. It was a long run and walk too, and we didn't get back until just before 5. Paddy Fag and Pillowbyte were late returnees, but by this time the Hares were celebrating for losing Doggy Style. As it's a regular occurrence, nobody seemed too worried... "(read the rest).

#1008 - The Champagne Phu My Bridge Run
Hash Scribe:Basil Thrush

"A champagne run, if ever I saw one. Plenty of bubbly to go around before the circle and then Erectile Dysfunction trotted out the whites and reds from the renowned Barossa Valley. What the hell is this??? This is HASH, and we drink BEER! ....but on rare occasions it doesn't hurt to break with tradition. Break with tradition! What about the minibus to transport the aged and infirm Harriettes for the last part of the walk? Unprecedented, and not to be encouraged! And they escaped without penalty. Icing would have been too easy....a minibus! What next?? It won't be long before someone gets a chauffer-driven Mercedes to take them to and from the Hash??? It was a memorable run for other reasons too... "(read the rest).

#1007 - The Back To the Monkey Farm Run
Hash Scribe:Basil Thrush

"Barricades across the sidewalk in front of the Caravelle Hotel were not erected to keep the unruly Hashers away, although that was the first thought that crossed the mind. It was a bit of an obstacle course to get to the bus, but the barricades were explained by looking up where a window cleaning gantry was perched atop the front of the Hotel. There were tales aplenty of Christmas woes. Deaf Tea Pot spent a week in a pommy hospital when he went to the "mother country for Christmas. He ended up with Epstein Barr syndrome. This is a common disease among... "(read the rest).

#1006 - 'Without Question, The Best Run of the Year So Far
Hash Scribe:Basil Thrush

"With a name like that you could be forgiven for thinking it was perfect. Wrong! There were NO sandwiches after the run...an unmitigated disaster according to some! The hungry Hashers ate out the peanuts in quick time too. Funny isn't it, how we get so used to those little luxuries. A year ago we were lucky to get anyone's nuts to nibble on... "(read the rest).

- New to Hashing? -

If you've never hashed before, you'll find the Saigon Hash a great way to exercise, meet people and get out of the city. Each week, we offer a run or a power-walk in different locations in the countryside around Ho Chi Minh City. No booking is necessary. Just roll up on Sunday afternoon and hop on the bus.

You don't need to bring much. For runners, running gear is all you need. Walkers need, above all, comfortable walking shoes (High heels are NOT recommended). On hot days, you may wish to wear a hat and use sunscreen. In addition, you'll need your run fee (VND180,000 for expats, VND100,000 for locals, 10,000 for ankle-biters) and optionally a change of clothes. For more information e-mail us at the address above.

[Disclaimer: Hashing is not without its risks. Political incorrectness, snakes, feral buffalo, quicksand, tropical diseases, shiggy, monkey bridges, hostile natives, unexploded ordnance, incurable STDs, cirrhosis of the liver, irate villagers with pitchforks and burning torches and litigious lawyers are but a few of the hazards we intrepid Hashers face on a week-to-week basis. By participating in the Hash, you agree that you fully understand the risks involved. If you are injured, you agree that you will not sue the Saigon Hash House Harriers (The Hash) or hold anyone else responsible who is involved with The Hash. In other words, you take full responsibility for your own actions and will not try to legally screw anybody connected with The Hash; and maybe, for the first time in your life, you will be responsible for your actions and yourself.]

Hanoi Hash House Harriers 1,000th Run

The Hanoi Hash House Harriers will be celebrating their 1,000th Run on the weekend of April 17th-18th this year. Of course, Hanoi H3 are famous for not only being the second longest continuously running Hash in Vietnam, but also the second best Hash. There has long been a spirit of friendly rivalry between Saigon H3 and our sister Hash (or, as we fondly think of them, our idiot little brother Hash) in the north. A paltry few Hanoians ventured south to help us celebrate our own 1,000th run, and were heard to opine that come April they would show us how to really put on a 1,000th Hash Run.

Check out the Hanoi Hash web site for details and registration. If you book now, you can get a return flight for around USD100. So, who's coming to Hanoi in April? So far, current and former Saigon Hashers who have registered include:

• General Erection
• Porn Surfer
• Pencil Dick
• Arthole
• Head Mistress
• Suxit
• Insideher
• Lost Our Seoul
• Kim Trang
• Peckerhead

Not only that, but several other occasional visitors to SH3 have also signed up: E.T. and Bimbo

Angkor H3, Siem Reap

Occasional Saigon visitor Short Stump informs us that the Angkor Hash House Harriers is back after a long absence. He includes a run report about their Australia Day Run in which he makes a few snide comments about the quality of the SH3 water stops (something about the lack of beer. (Too true, sadly - perhaps the new MMC can address the issue?). Some of you may remember him from that excellent Mui Ne Away Run a couple of years ago. This is a definite contender for another outstation run.

Interhash 2010

The next Interhash in 2010 will be in our backyard - Kuching, Borneo in and around the Sarawak rainforest. Check out the Borneo Interhash web site for event details.
