What we do Every second Thursday night at 7 pm in summer and every second Saturday in winter at 11 am, a group of runners and walkers set off to follow a trail of flour across the countryside. We don't know where we are going but expect it to be wet & muddy and only hope that we will find our way back to the start after an hour or so. Where we do it Runs start and finish from different locations somewhere in the Mearns (unless it is an A -> B).  Places we have run are Stonehaven, Inverbervie, Montrose, Auchenblae, Drumlithie, Aberdeen, Strachan, Fettercairn, Banchory, Johnshaven, Portlethen, Braemar, Edzell, Drumtochty Glen, Glen Dye, Glen Clova, Glen Prosen, Cairn 'o' Mount and many more besides. Routes are nearly always off-road, follow footpaths, across fields, through woods, into streams and over distant hills. Who does it Young, old, fit, unfit, men, women, girls, boys, fat, thin, tall or short. They have all hashed with us. Can I do it too? Yes! Just turn up 15 minutes before the advertised time at any of our runs, which are always listed here. Wear off-road shoes or old trainers. The runs cost £2.50 each, however this includes a visit(s) to the refreshments wagon. More Info? More information about hashing can be found here.
