Mad Dog's GPS recorded trail superimposed on a Google Earth satellite image of the area.
The GPS trail fits the roads & paths on the satellite map exactly.
The light-blue circle is the Merenda stables - the starting point & the on-in

Hashers gather outside the Merenda riding stables before the run


The hashers are on their way...

 



And you thought the stables were named after a hazelnut-chocolate spread!

Budwanker does the Hash Cash
(RA Fair cop was in hospital after trying to demolish a wall with his motor bike)

 


Coke Dealer gets the tankards ready for the circle

 



GM Budwanker opens the circle

 


The hares DIO


Meningitis (has grown!)


Mountain Goat gets punished for doing his own trail
up the mountain (where does he get the energy?)

 


Up the Bumper passes on the front runners helmet to Budwanker

 


And Budwanker gets a suitable (?) me-me-me song

 


Oxymoron with his TWO down-downs (latecoming & ?)


AND NOW FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL.....


Mountain Goat with his 700th run badge
(Our FIRST hasher to reach 700 runs)


A very proud moment!


And a quiet congratulatory kiss from Fiery Tw*t

 


Punishment for those hashers not wearing hash gear

 


Banger & Mash are recognised for running this year's
Athens Marathon (the whole 43 kilometres)

Christopher gets called into the circle as he is due for a hash naming

 


So what shall we call him?
(At this point he is feeling pain from the ice put in his shorts)

 


The consensus was "Maximus Pooh" & Budwanker named him


Well done MP!

 


Feeling the effects of the ice-cold beer poured into the funnel

 


Rim Job gets the fashion award DIO

 


The Sotiris souvlaki taverna in Markopoulo

After the salad & chips, FT takes the meat orders



Hungry hashers wait for more food & drink



After the meal the hashers chat and have fun
