MKH3 Bash

I thought it was time to resurrect the MKH3 Bash. I believe there have been some(well, one) in the past many moons ago when King and One Loos organised one from the Greyhound Aldbury in May 2000, which I discovered when hacking my way into the MKH3 website. Does anybody remember this, does anybody actually care?

Anyway we will be holding a double bash, one for the knitting circle and hash kids, and a slightly longer trail.

Hash Kids Treasure Hunt

The intention is for this to be part bash/part treasure hunt. The prizes will be the choice of either drinking or wearing some of our positively famous MKH3 down down beer. Good Head will be your hare for this one and it will cover around 4-5 miles.

BASH

For those FRB's in our little pack of merry drinkers, there will be a slightly longer trail. I promise this will be completely flat, except for the hilly bits. I wouldn't bother doing this route on a racing bike though, it is mountain bike territory. The usual MKH3 markings will apply. We will hold each check so if you are really really slow, there's a good chance that if we like you we will wait for you. If you have a whistle, please bring it, it's sometimes difficult to hear you shout On-On when you're 1/2 a mile down a false trail. Bring a puncture repair kit and a pump. Whilst the hashers are a freindly lot in general and will try and help out should you get a puncture, you could end up at the back and need to fix it yourself. If you do get a puncture and you can't fix it yourself, I recommend finding the nearest pub, locking your bike and asking the landlord if you can phone for a taxi whilst sampling some of his fine ales.

Transport to/from Pub

Anybody requiring transport to the pub who doesn't have a car bike rack/estate available to them, I can pick up your bike for you and take it to and return it from the pub. Bikes won't be returned to those who just decide they're going to get pissed and can't be ars*d cycling home. If you do need help with transporting your bike, then let me know your house number and postcode before Friday 23rd Sept. You can mail me on b a s h AT s h o w p i e c e DOT co DOT uk (Remove the spaces, change the AT to @ and DOT to . ) Any other questions feel free to give me a shout.

On-On
