About the Hash:

A rural Hash just outside Kingston, which takes one along empty parochial paths and a short wade in/across the Hog Hole river and lovely forest in the river valley and mountain views across to Newcastle in the distance. A trail just between 4-5km, dependent on the easy, straightforward route, or the one involving a steep climb.

How to get there:

This is a straightforward drive and about 25 minutes beyond Papine. Go to Gordon Town and turn RIGHT over the bridge, at the police station, crossing the Hope river. Stay on the main driving road until you reach the Hash location, which is on the main road and will be sign posted. NB. The only parking is at the side of the main road (it is wide enough) but car sharing where possible is recommended. From Gordon Town it is a 20 min drive. You will reach a very sharp righthand hairpin bend at Craig End. This is where spring water is flowing out on your right side down short rockface. As you turn sharp right, you will see the same water flowing out on your left. Keep going another kilometers. NB. The road is narrow. Drive with care and slow speed.

Full Disclosure:

The A route is easy. It is forest pathways, crossing old footbridges and a short wading of the Hog Hole river. Water is low, unlikely to get wet feet. Route B is the same as route A, until the return, which includes a short cut, but involves a very steep ascent. Not for the faint hearted and will be further assessed on the day.

Haredashery:

Ok fellow hashers, we are in need of hares. Hash mis(s)-management encourages every (wannabe-) hasher to step forward and tell us about this special location that you know. If you have no experience, a more experienced hashers will be appointed to come with you and together with you do the scouting, provide paper shredding (bio-degradable, for the trail marking) and set the hash.

As a special incentive, the hare(s) (maximum of 3) do not pay the hash fee for that day.

Do you have a good idea for a hash, but no experience ? - come on a Friday evening to the Pinte where you will find hashers always willing to discuss your plan:
