Hashing Quick Version (by Administrator, published Wednesday, 07 January 2009 02:14)
The hash is a cross suburb trail set by one or two volunteers, known as the hares. The hares lay a 4-8 kilometre trail with biodegradable flour or chalk.
The runners/walkers, known as the hounds, follow this trail though the suburbs, across rivers, down streets, playgrounds and sometimes messy ("shiggy") areas, in search of the end, which is where lots of beer and food awaits the tired pack. "Hashing" is the act of participating in the hash.
A typical hash will cost you 10,000 Won for beer and munchies part is held back to donate to worthwhile causes, can cost more on special events.
Two things you can always count on at a Jeonju Hash - beer at the end of our runs, and plenty of FUN people to socialize with every other week.
As being the newest hash in the Jeonju area, we pride ourselves on having a party-like atmosphere at every hash.
Ist Hash February 28th 2009 (by Admin Team, published Sunday, 01 March 2009 00:06) We would like to thank the people who took time out of their busy schedules to attend the first Jeonju Hash Charity Event on Saturday. We would especially like to thank Louisa who traveled from Gunsan to participate in this event.
The Hash started at 12pm with our Hares (Darryl and Ian) setting out the trail through Cheonbukdae making a diverse and interesting trail through unknown areas of the University grounds. Everything went well setting the trail and we finished ahead of schedule.
The participants arrived on time at 3pm to start the walk and follow the trail. At the start of the trail they had two choices, unfortunately they took the shortest trail around the Lotus pond. It was amusing watching Barry finding and following the False trails and Nick finding the Live trails and still managed to get lost!
As we had limited numbers the trail took a little longer to traverse when we had exited Cheonbukdae University via the Old Gate we found that our marks had been erased or a stall had covered them! So we had to finish by cutting about 15 minutes off the Hash and headed to the End Point at Art and Travel.
We would to formally thank Art and Travel for hosting the first Hash even though we had limited numbers.
We have raised a total of 40,000Won on this occasion for the orphans in Jeonju. We can do with more support from our community. If anyone would like to be a Hare or see job descriptions on our website for the next Hash please leave a message on our forum or email us direct from the site.
Hash the Change (by The Hammer, published Monday, 30 March 2009 15:51) We have changed the homepage of website simplified it for those who are still confused, it is now user friendly.
Photos from the last Hash has been uploaded, so please check them out both on the homepage and in the picture gallery, we are looking for load speed and mistakes so let us know.
Even though the Hash is a drinking group with a running problem, we welcome everyone from any walk of life. Feel free to bring strollers, children and dogs to join in for FREE. Remember this is a light walk nothing too taxing for the unfit, that said if you want to run it then feel free to do so.
Children and non-drinkers are welcome let us know your tipple and we will supply for the ON-IN (end point).
Take a look at the Southside Hash Harriers based in Seoul, they are looking to come down to support us.
We would like to thank our current Hare who laid the Hash on Saturday 28th March, he is also responsilble for the wonderful pictures and his amazing eye for detail.
Again this a fun event much like a treasure hunt were everyone wins.
Finding ways to entertain myself in the middle of winter has become somewhat difficult. JH4 had decided to go down to Mokpo for a trail. NN Becca and NN Ian invited us to the area to walk/run trail with them. I was just excited to get out of the house again for the weekend. Mokpo had some promise to be a good trail. I arrived a bit earlier than expected; so I helped lay the trail. I expected the weather to be cold, but cold would have been welcomed with open arms. This day had no break or relief from the howling winds and bitter snap of the cold. Whilest we lay trail a combination of light rain and snow came into town. The hares (the people who lay trail) and I decided to make the trail relatively short because of the weather.
We made the trail a simple, straightforward, and short. We started ceremonies late because of our usual mismanagement. I had hoped that we would have many people from Jeonju come with us, but to my dismay only Hammer and Highly Strung showed. The hares were able to wrangle up more then enough virgins (first time hashers) for the hash. They were not the usual pack that I am used to dealing with, but they were a welcome change. They were funny and played along very well. As per our traditions we give balloons to the virgins; to my amusement they tried to sabotage each other. That gave me a laugh because I am usually the only one trying to do so. The trail was mostly flat land with a couple medium hills. It was marked very well and the pack didn’t get lost as much as I would have liked them to have been. As I walked trail the weather turned for the worse and it began to snow. So layers were something that needed to be worn or else you would be out of luck.
The end of the trail was nice. We devirginized the pack and it went well. Song was sung and dance was well danced. The on-after took place in many venues. We went from place to place looking for places to get drunk in. It was a very cold day and trail, but the booze made us warm. The trail was over and the vessels were empty, but our spirits were high.
So if by chance you hear a whistle or yelling of on-on; join the trail.
