On an A-to-B run, a truck (Sag Waggon) takes all the hashers kit bags (with their change of clothes, etc) to the end of the run.

Tender Vittles and Putin Pullout laid trail on Sunday morning. Mad Dog drove the Sag Waggon and provided support.

Parson's Nose and Juices Flowing arranged the food and beer for everyone - a big task with so many hashers attending.

Parson's Nose and Juice's Flowing are the haberdashers and were selling all sorts of Houston Hash items during the afternoon.

They had hung streams of Union Jack flags between the trees.

Some hashers wear Happy Coats embelished with hash patches (cloth badges).

 


The circle is ending and all the food and beer (bottles and cans) have been consumed (see empty coolers)
