Welcome...The Seven Hills Hash House Harriers (7H4)
Hash facts...

|||||||||||
“Hashing” began
in 1938 in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) where a group of British expatriates
enjoyed playing “paper chase” or the “hounds and hares” game. Each week a
couple of blokes acted as “hares” and were given a short head start. The
hares left a “scent” of shredded paper. The “pack” (of “hounds”) then
proceeded to try and catch the hares, following their trail over hill and
dell, barking “on” or “on-there” as they found trail. The chase typically
concluded at a local pub, or “hash house” (named for their lackluster food),
where the traditions of the Hash House Harriers began. Today there are more
than 1,500 hashes throughout the world. 
The
traditions of the Seven Hills Hash House Harriers began in Lynchburg,
Virginia on June 21st, 1992. The 7H4 meets every Wednesday evening pretty
much year around and often on Sunday afternoons during the winter. But
anyone can call a hash anytime. For up-to-the-minute hash locations and
times, call the 7H4 Hash Hotline at 434-582-8076 or check this website.
The
hares of the 7H4 use white flour and chalk to mark trail and the pack blows
whistles and shouts “on-on” to simulate the baying of the hounds. The trails
are 3-5 miles in length and conclude with a “circle” during which the hares
and hounds drink “down-downs” of the beverage of their choice. There is
always plenty of beer and soda for everyone.
After
the circle and the down-downs, the pack often continues the festivities by
going on-on to a local pub. But since hashers are known as beer drinkers
with a running problem and since the first (and only) rule of hashing is:
THERE ARE NO RULES! You just never know; you have to be there to find out.
See you Wednesday and/or Sunday!
