JAH3 Kingston, Jamaica

RUN 244 - Sligoville, St. Catherine

Another Hash in Sligoville, this time set by Peesingh who loves to organise the food, to deal with the cooks , to spend long hours of reccying with supporting hares Rice'n'Peas, BMW and Maniac and St. Patty's Revenge - all of this weeks in advance and up until the very last minute to ensure the pack will experience a great hash!

 What a different site and sight this was from when I ran my first hash here in 2004! Where we used to cross rolling hills, earth had been (re-)moved, reportedly by Peesingh himself, to make room for 3 big sports fields, an athletic and football field, a cricket and a basketball field, all suitable for serious competitions with hundreds, maybe thousands of spectators in this rural area!

The Chinese manage the construction site and were contributing the vegetable dish to our traditional Jamaican feast, which also featured a Dashin soup, created by a young aspirational woman, who is planning to attend the Caribbean cooking contest in the Bahamas in July, and Mrs. Bairds' delicious corn meal pudding.  

I counted 33 cars in the parking lot. So we had a good turn out of about 66 plus the odd hasher, on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. The Sligoville cool breeze made this challenging walk pleasant. Most of us shivered from the cold and moist air, while waiting for everyone to come back ON IN from the longer trail. All in all a most enjoyable hash! Great views of St. Cathrine and Kingston's coastline when the clouds allowed.

Thanks to Peesingh and fellow hares!
Yours truly, BMW
