If you've not heard of hashing before it's a drinking club with a running problem. There are hashes all over the world, many in the US, but the format is the same: a "hare" lays a trail in flour, chalk, sawdust or something for the rest of the pack to follow. There are "checks" where the trail goes off in various directions with false trails and one true trail that allow the slower runners to catch up with the faster ones, as well as allowing the hare, if it's a "live" hare run, to keep a head of the pack.
If the pack catches the hare then then the hare has to buy a jug of beer for them, but
I run with Oxford H3 on Wednesday nights and we've got a page on our website with a more complete explaination:
http://www.oxfordh3.org/oxfordh3.php
Our pack size is usually about 20 to 30 depending upon the time-of-year, temperature outside, etc. and we've got three American "visitors" that run with us as well as a couple of ex-members that have returned to the US in recent years.
"On On!"

________________________________
Well there was I thinking what a great week! I'd won the Technet Element of the Week quiz, my manager was on holiday, and I'd snagged pre-sale tickets to next year's Within Temptation concert at Wembley. Could it get any better?
Then I walked in to The White Hart at Eynsham, ordered Red Kite beers and sat down to savour the pint before the rest of the Oxford Hash House Harriers pack arrived.
The next thing I know a guilty and haggard looking "Mummies Boy" handed me a map and said, with an increasingly rasping voice, "I'm ill *cough* here's a map, *cough*, you're haring".
At least I had Kloumpios and Clumpy to help out (thanks lads). Apparently it was the best trail I'd never laid.
I sent them off to Pat Goodyear's whilst I still had some beers left.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element is found on the moon. If this element catches fire, water or
CO2 extinguishers will not put it out. This element's oxide is found in type M stars. What element is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Titanium (Ti)! Titanium oxide bands are a prominent in the spectra of M-type stars. These stars have a surface temperature of 3200C and are red in color. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust.
The winner of the weekly element quiz is James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited, and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys were quite excited to be heading over to his facility as they had a great time on their last visit. And to answer Bev Christian's question, yes, the FEQ clues are going to be more difficult this time around.
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:
Past Quiz winners/tasks:
Week 1 Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems
- Clumpy and Kloumpios arrived and were happy to get some warm weather.
Saturday they helped rake leaves (yes it's fall in Tampa) then went to the
Florida State Fair. They seemed most interested in some of the new tractors, muttering something about the closed cab would be a more comfortable ride, but they also took advantage of the opportunity for Fair
food. I couldn't believe how much deep fried food they ate - Snickers, butter, burgers, ..., you name it. Yesterday they didn't feel good so just sat around in the sun most of the day. This week I'm going to pick their brains on how to improve our ECN implementation process. If they can't contribute much I'll send them back to the fair as sort of a winter vacation.
Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC
- assisted with ????
Week 3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited
- assisted with ????
Everyone have a safe week!
