Event Description

The location is a working farm environment (arable), which is bounded by the sea to the east, the PGR to the south and the Blue Mountains a backdrop to the north and west.
NB: It is also a crocodile farm. There are crocodiles within enclosed pens, which you may be able to visit, and some maybe in the river!

Hash Directions
The journey time will be about 2 hours. LEAVE EARLY! Start time is 11.00am. Travel on the main south highway, through Albion, Yallahs, Morant Bay and on to Port Morant. This is the A4 route on Google maps. After Port Morant, and the bays on your left, just continue on the main road. Do not deviate. You will soon pass through Golden Grove community. The Johnson’s gas station is on your right, as you pass through. After you pass through Golden Grove, you enter on to a very long, dead straight road, which passes through the cane fields to your left and right. You cross over a flat bridge, which is crossing over the PGR. Just after you cross the bridge take RIGHT turn into the cane fields, on a marl track. NB. Look out for the JAH3 sign. Once on the plantation follow the JAH3 signs to the Hash circle. Try to car share. If road is flooded/impassable, the meeting point will still be at the right turn, but before the flooded track.
