Hash Directions
This is a straight forward and easy journey. Ordinary roads throughout. Journey times is about 1hr 15mins. You are travelling in the direction of Mandeville. But destination is long before then. Leave Kingston and take the Toll Road towards Mandeville. Travel the whole length of the Toll Road – through two tolls (cost $440 and $110). Scott’s Pass is BEFORE Porus, (if you reach Porus, you’ve passed it) and about 2km past Murry’s Jerk Centre. As you enter Scott’s Pass you will see the white stone community sign, ‘Welcome to Scott’s Pass’. You have arrived. Parking. A little scattered!. Park about 300 yds further along form the community sign, on the left side, on the empty land behind the stalls. (Will be sign posted). See Google Map Reference: https://goo.gl/maps/abk7wT5zi332
After leaving the Toll Road continue on main road, in the direction of Mandeville. Scott’s Pass is on the main road.
Hash Extras
For the historian in you all: The railway line at Scott’s Pass is part of the Kingston to Montego Bay 113 mile railway line that was laid between 1845 and 1895. The 24 and half mile section from Old Harbour to Porus (of which Scott's Pass falls within) was added in 1885. The two tunnels you pass through on Hash 525 form part of thirteen tunnels that were built on this line. They are the first two tunnels on the line, and located at 44.25 and 44.50 miles from Kingston! For further information see The History of Railroads/ways in Jamaica. (online)
