Outstation: Stogie's pub crawl

Stogie's leaving, if you hadn't heard the news. For this outstation you don't need your running shoes. We will take a jaunt, to some of my favorite beery haunts. Gather and start at the place of cheese, before walking toward the lair of sleaze. There is no trail, but you can follow clues, to arrive at the next house of booze. I'll update the location as we move from bar to bar, so you can stop in or leave wherever we are.

Where:
Start at British Cheese Deli. This is A to B and no bag drop.

When:
We'll meet at 1:50 pm to start at 2:00 pm.
No hash cash on this out station. You'll be paying for your own drinks and food.

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:
• We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour 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. 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 (along with location), 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 ~20-40 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). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards.

Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?
If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it.

'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (Hashes) 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.
