Inter Bike Hash Mongolian Adventure
Preview
Editor’s Notes: Welcome to the November digital edition of Harrier Magazine. Chiang Mai approaches another hashing milestone, as bike hashers pump up for a regional Inter Bike Hash in Thailand. On the other side of the pond, the distinctive sound of Scottish bagpipes echo over hill and dale. A yard of ale and a dram of single malt may be just around the bend. Augusta makes its mark on the American hashing scene, while yet another beloved hashman joins our fallen brethren. Searching for the ultimate endurance challenge? Try Mongolia for a one of a kind adventure in the land of Genghis Khan. Check out the trove of exciting events on the horizon in the months to come. Its never too early to start planning for that next hashing holiday, or for that running event your boss is sure to OK for mixing business and pleasure, along with a little pain. Where are you headed in 2013? See you on trail, Jim Edens, Harrier Magazine Editor-in-Chief

inally! Now everyone knows... Chuck Wao hates water!!! Not that it was really a secret before, but... the only thing keeping him from finishing this run was the fact that it was an A to B... oh yeah, and then a C, but we’ll get to that in a mere moment.
Checkback Runs #1100 & 1101
Hares: Cool Balls & Redundant Seaman
To start, neither Hollow Legs or Skidmark realized that the bus left at 3pm. They had both overheard that the run started at 3.30pm, and weren’t privy to the exact details. Perhaps they were both distracted by our lengthy and drunken conversation from the night before? Blame it on Superbitch’s super laughing that kept them downing the Sangsom by the glassfull the night before. Anyhow, Skidmark popped out of his room right at 3pm, and was just barely able to hop into the back of the Wet family’s truck as it was leaving. First the truck went left, and then it turned around and went right where they waited for the co-hare to turn up though he also didn’t seem to know the start time of his
EDITOR’S NOTE: We normally feature more general articles about “Hashing in Chiang Mai” or hashing in any city around the world. BUT, in this case we have included write-ups on two regular weekly runs in Chiang Mai, as they portray the essence of hashing in this locale. If you like this sort of content, please let us know, or send us a story about hashing in your part of the world. You can email your HHH stories to: JimEdens@HarrierMagazine.com

fundraising events about town, on top of upfront donations. And yes, Daisy, our beloved GM, received a gong this year, receiving the Order of Australia in the Australia Day honours list “For service to the international community through humanitarian roles”. Although it didn’t say it, it is understood by all that by keeping wayward hashers under control each week, he is indeed providing a service to the community in Dili.

Dili, East Timor On the 8th of September our international pedigree came to the front when our beloved Brazilian ‘Beer Wench’, TONGUE JOB……. put on a Carnival style run from the “Ponto de Encontro” restaurant, celebrating Brazilian Independence Day from Portugal which was 190 years ago, in 1822. Green and yellow were the colours of the day and we were spurred on
BIG ONES, they are everywhere in Timor-Leste and Dili is surrounded by them! However it’s worth it!
by the thoughts of the impending nosh up of Feijoada (Pork and Beans to the uninitiated) lubricated by voluminous quantities of that Portuguese staple, Sangria…….but to earn that prize we had to get to the top of the hill first……. On Dili Hashes that’s what we do, climb hills………..

berdeen will host their 30th anniversary hash weekend on 25-27 January 2013. This pearl anniversary will be celebrated with a slant on Doric, the local dialect, with a theme of Pearly Loons and Quines, the names of local lads and lassies. It will be an Aberdeen hash weekend based on the old traditions of “Run with the Best, Hash with the Trash� our original hashing slogan, though Mud, Sweat and Beers is now used more regularly. In true Scottish form, the weekend will include a Hash Burns supper.

History of Hashing and Bike Hashing
P
retty much everyone who is reading this article is probably a confirmed dyed-in-the wool Hasher! We all know the history by now, what’s left to be said except‌any excuse to go out with likeminded individuals, have a great time and drink lots of beer, has to be a good thing and greatly encouraged! In recent Hash history, the last 25 years or so, has seen the rise of the Bike Hash or Bash as it is also commonly known. Though not all that widespread, Bike Hashing is a very popular spin-off (which sometimes happens) that embraces the finest traditions of Hashing. That is to say, following a trail that a Hare has laid, then drinking a beer or two in the company of fellow Hashers. The only difference between Hashing and Bike Hashing is really the distance covered. In all other respects Bike Hashers are the same as you. There are exceptions of course. I refer to those individuals who find it hard to stay on two wheels, imbibe copious amounts of anesthetics, and are thus rendered insensible. These Hashers should be encouraged as they are an endless source of amusement for the rest of us.
