NZ Nash Hash and related Road Trips 2021 - 30 January to 7th February

A fantastic week long celebration of Hashing in New Zealand. Nearly 200 hashers attended the main Nash Hash event hosted by Pania Hash at the Hastings showground over Friday to Sunday 5 to 7 Feb.

But many of these hashers also took in various road trip Hash events leading to NH21. For those coming up from the South Island the start was Takaka HHH 50th run on Sat 30th with around 30 hashers. Next day was Nelson HHH and then across the ditch to Wellington hosting over 60 hashers on the Monday. Then up to Energy HHH in New Plymouth for the Tuesday run and Taupo for Wednesday. Thursday was the every popular Fat Catz run from Tikotino. Friday afternoon was the Red Dress run at Clive raising money for a local special needs school.

For those coming FROM the North, there was the 100th run at Maungawhai, followed by runs hosted by Woeful and Mooloo hashes. Many of these attendees then joined the main road trip at Taupo or Fat Catz

Friday evening kicked off the main event. Saturday heralded the main runs around the iconic Te Mata Peak. Spectacular views as well as lovely bush tracks. Head hare Likka had been planning this for years. Back to the showgrounds in the afternoon for the drinking competitions and games. A top local band has hashers dancing into the night. Sunday was recovery run and meetings to elect the next NH venue (Takaka) and incoming NZGM - Birdtable. The official close down was followed by the unofficial cocktail party for the stayers. Well done Pania Hash, especially Likka, Metal, Petal, Shunter, 2 Jugs and MB.
