Haunch of Venison Hash House Harriers

Hashing is an outdoor recreational sport with similarities to rambling and orienteering.  It’s a team activity involving a small group of runners and another of walkers who set off to find a pre-marked trail that uses public footpaths and open access areas.  A different trail is marked each week and the pre-marking avoids the use of a map.  So Hashers have to follow the trail but the trail-layer (known as the Hare) accompanies the Hash to ensure it does not go off course. The trail is marked with the aim of keeping those in a group in loose contact with each other as they seek it out.
