Hashing It

Juicelog Sun 200408: Vexing up our hotel waitress with juicily hand squeezed orange-juice, we donned on some sports gear for our first ever hash.

A hash is a social come outdoor activity group with a lot of the focus being on fun/humour. The Fuengirola hash (we attended this afternoon) meets up every Sunday in the mountains and follows an outdoor trail/course that is laid on by the organisers. After completion of the trail, everybody gets together for what is known as the “circle of death”.

The circle of death is the fun part of the hash get together. Basically the hashers stand around in a circle. This human sphere is presided over by a raconteur, whose job is to amuse everybody with gossip (that s/he has picked up during the course of the trail) about the hashers in attendance as well as concocting comical reasons to punishing people (with beer drinking).
