Maungawhai Anniversary Day run - Jan 27th

Mangawhai heads  h3 run
24 rather confused hashers/virgins and simply curious and one pressed German, rocked up to the meeting point to car share to Puffs next adventure. The trail was set on private land, and the owner came along to see what all this hashing business ,was all about and give a spiel and the history of the farm. I explained to the motley crowd, that this was not a run or a walk, rather a ramble, taking in the history as we meandered through the bush, admiring the ancient Puriri, Totora and hashers.

out of the bush  the climbed up the bank to admire an old Maori PA, kumara pits and  listen to our host tell the story of the day the northern visited.

The trail was about an hour long and we ended up in a shady hollow and his Sharkeyness gathered the troops (or should I say crew) to circle around , he welcomed our virgin runners, and especially Nick a German tourist who got out of his campervan to ask directions and was promptly bundled in a car, and taken on the hash walk, he wasnt dissapointed and Puff (thats me) named him 4 minute man, which was about the length of time it took us to press gang him into hashing. lots of fines , we welcomed Big horn ,now a whangarian.

tight nuts (aka mark) and Cory (who was a bit shy)  and Craig who wasn't and Charmaine. In all every one enjoyed the meander and seeing a bit of Mangawhai a bit off the beaten track.
