'the drinking club with a running problem'

Hashing is fun, non-competitive running, following a trail laid by the 'hares'. After the run, which lasts about an hour, we 'on-down' to the local pub. L2H3 is a friendly, all-age and all-ability hash; new hashers and visitors are always welcome.

Where and When

We are lucky to have wonderful countryside and many kind farmers and landowners allowing us to run off-road.
We run mainly cross-country, through fields, lanes, streams, marshes, on the cliff paths and on Bodmin Moor.

We meet on Monday evenings April to October and then change to Sunday mornings for the winter months.

The Trail

The trail is laid in flour or sawdust by the hares, who will have devised a circular route incorporating checks, false trails, loops designed to keep the front runners busy and to keep the pack together. We often incorporate a long/short split with the aim that everyone finishes together - well more or less... if we're lucky!

The On-Down

After the run we 'on-down' at the nearest pub for a few beers, for hashers to sign in, for the On Sec to give out 'The Word' and 'down downs' for the hares.

If you haven't been hashing before then come along and find out what its all about. Be prepared to get a bit wet and mud-splashed, so bring a change of clothes for in the the pub afterwards.

Mismanagement

The Hash is organized by the On-Sec and team of Mismanagement. The venue for the following week or two is given out in The Word. The Run always starts on time, latecomers may be able to pick up the trail, but there's no knowing what devious plot the hares have laid. So its better to arrive in good time and hear the briefing by the hare before the run begins.

Hashing isn't free, we don't have a subscription but we all contribute a small amount for each Hash you run. This is collected by Hash Cash in the pub after the run. If you are unable to join us in the pub please pay before you depart.

Hares

Hashes don't lay themselves. We encourage all hashers take their turn as hare, so that every week we can enjoy a different venue. If you Hash regularly you will no doubt volunteer to lay a run! Plenty of help and advice is available and if you haven't laid a run before you can set one jointly with another more experienced Hasher.

Down-Downs and Hash Raffle in the pub after the run; the hare provides the raffle prizes.
