Magnificent! Absolutely magnificent! This run proved that hashing in Bali must be the best in the world with wonderful trails through stunning country and a glorious sunny day to boot.

Disco Wanker took out 4 very enthusiastic virgin hares to show them the ropes. They all had a great time and set a great run. Sadly many of the ignorant bastards who set off at 4:30 didn't follow the paper taking a short cut across a rice field and missed the split which was marked very clearly with 16 foot high white letters on a grassy bank that you... Read the trash.

Without fanfare and with the full moon rising over the horizon we set off heading South. As we reached the top of a hill we realised we were off paper (no hills on Serangan). Back to the paper, large blobs dropped along the way. We headed South West eventually reaching a temple then the paper stopped. We checked back and the paper went East, on on as the diminished pack (the rest were out for an evening stroll) we headed east along a road then North but suddenly the paper crossed a ditch and headed East again turning the pack around... Read the trash.

BHH2 shows it's good side this saturday: 30 minutes before the run starts - please remember we have a full moon run: the run starts at 5:30) our RA Discowanker and a representative from "Bali Turtle Conservation and Education Center" will start a special BHH2-Turtle program ('releasing baby turtle through auction'). Each baby turtle is up for auction, starting at RP 50.000. You will get a triple deal for that: 1. support the yayasan 2. support our Hash and 3. most important: release a baby turtle.
COME  EARLY  so you can visit the conservation center to learn about how important the turtle for the ecosystem
STAY LATE so you can enjoy the BBQ afterwards!

It was a stunning day in paradise as the hounds gathered at the Margarana Heroes Cemetery. Our heroes of the day Oxzy and his team had organised a nice sunny day but it was a fairly subdued crowd who milled around awaiting start time. Some silly willys just couldn't restrain themselves and started before 4:30 again, we'll get to them later.

...It was splendid country and running was on good paths. Eventually we came out on an old forestry road but sadly it has been surfaced with bitumen over the last few years. We ran South following the road for miles and joining the short halfway along the way. Eventually we turned right along a subak through a village and back to the market.

….So now every April I sit on my porch.
And I watch the parade pass before me
I see my old comrades, how proudly they march
Renewing their dreams of past glory
The old men march slowly, bent stiff and sore
The weary old heroes of a forgotten war
And the young people ask what are they marching for

Read the trash.

Hares and hounds take to Bali’s hills

Whether high commissioner or hippie, Irish or Indonesian, characters and cultures are all as one in the global family that is Hash House Harriers.

On any Saturday you can find members of this family bounding up hill and down dale through the glades of English woodlands, the wild boar backblocks of Australia, the snowy slopes of the Himalayas and the terraced rice fields of Indonesia.

And they have been galloping these grounds since 1938... (click here toread the full article in the Jakarta-Post online)(here to open the PDF)
