Trash display - The Safe Haven for Bergen Hash House Harriers

A more or less average sized pack travelled to Geilo by car and train to participate on the 14th BH3 Ski Hash. The wise hashers, made sure they had booked a seat in the gin carriage on the 7.57 a.m. train from Bergen, and had the pleasure of the first liquid refreshments at 7.59 a.m. At 10.52 a.m., the train reached Geilo and the transport committee, i.e. Abominator, met us at the station. After stocking up on refreshments, the pack set off for Flasher's cabin and the start of the run.

At the appointed time, a maxi-taxi transported most of the pack to the start of the run. That is to say, one Harriette headed directly to the after-ski, two other Harriettes set off for some lowland skiing whilst the rest were transported by ski lift up a mountain. After some serious off-piste skiing, two of the pack found a different trail to the official drink-stop whilst Muff Diver invited the remaining hashers to an impromptu mobile refreshment stop.

Mata Hari and Dancing Queen turned up at another mobile refreshment stop just short of the official drink-stop.

After enjoying some refreshments at the official drink-stop, most of the pack set off down the slopes in the direction of Dr. Holms and the after-ski. As always happens, some sad hashers took of their (cross-country) skis and walked down the last steep part of the trail, and again all made it safely to the after-ski without any broken limbs.

The after-ski was the normal boisterous affair, before the pack headed back to Flasher's cabin for the circle followed by an excellent deer casserole dinner, all washed down with wine and more beer.

At some point during the evening/night most of the pack headed for Dr Butt's cabin for a spot of midnight swimming and partying.
