ZH3 Hash # 1658: Muddy Devils

This week's Hare is Saddam.

Where:
Hare's hutch in Hüntwangen. From Zürich take the S9 towards Schaffhausen / Rafz at 13:07, Hardbrücke 13:09, Oerlikon 13:15. Change at Hüntwangen-Wil to the 545 bus, take it 1 stop to Hüntwangen Dorf.
Look for English speakers wearing running gear.

When:
We'll meet at 13:50 pm to start at 14:00 pm.

What:
Long to very long trail(s) with short cuts for walkers. Expect lots of mud, if there has been some rain recently.
The annual Muddy Angel run is on the same day. The gravel pits of Hüntwangen are turned into a muddy obstacle course for women. https://www.muddyangelrun.com/events/zuerich-2025/.

Feel free to do Muddy Angel in the morning then clean up for the hash.
Bag drop and on after at the hare's house. Drop your bags at the house before Muddy Angel if you like.

Cost:
There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers almost unlimited beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards.

All Welcome:
If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know:
• Physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humor is useful.
• The aim is to find the 'Beer Stop' at the end of the 'trail' and have fun.
• 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km, longer at weekends. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running) and some over-achieving fast runners will go further.
• The 'Hare', which changes each event, cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time.
• There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change.
• After Trail, we group for ~30-45 minutes for drinks, snacks and some fun. This 'Circle' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark).

Why bother leaving your warm sofa?
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing.

'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (Hashs) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - or you can just come along and find out. See you there.

We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.
