In Grenada a hash last a little over an hour, is about four miles and is followed by a party where hashers eat, drink and haze the new hashers, which are referred to as virgins. Grenada hash #661 was my virgin hash and I am now an official hasher, I got hazed (sprayed with beers) and I have a certificate to prove it!
We set off from St. George to the Sauteurs in St. Patrick at the north end of the island. Our hash was up Mt. Rodney and ended back on the beach of Sauteurs. This was 661st hash by the Grenada Hash House Harriers. The 25th anniversary of hashing in Grenada is coming up on the second weekend in October.
Misha and I on the bus to Sauteurs
The rest of the bus (it was very crowded)
The beach in Sauteurs, St. Patrick
The start of the hash
Our team of virgins...all first time hashers
It really isn't a "trail", just a way of getting through the jungle, slightly chopped by machetes
A mound of paper marks the way
A glimpse of the "trail" conditions
A Grenadian millipede
We started off on the beach, at sea level and went straight up
Jungle view
The ocean on the horizon
What goes up, must come down
Starting down the steep, slippery, muddy hill
Coming back down to sea level
A really cool tree
A local cow
"Bad dog" warning
The house that the "bad dog" was guarding
The "trail" came out on a cement road which led us the rest of the way down to the beach
Grenadian dirt crabs
Back down at sea level
After completing our virgin hash
I tried some oil-down (the national dish of Grenada), with callaloo, carrots and breadfruit
I am officially not a virgin anymore!
