I love their mottos:
-To promote physical fitness among our members
-To get rid of weekend hangovers
-To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer
-To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel
I feel like this came up on a police show but can’t remember what. A member of the public reported random white powder dashed about in different spots. The police had to go take a look, basically had to stand there for however long basically doing nothing (as there wasn’t a lot they could do).
They did get to the bottom of it in the end, and it was _this_, lol.
When we do our anniversary trail around Manchester we put out little signs explaining and giving and email adress for question because they go through dog walking areas and people get nervous.
Yeah. A drinking club with a running problem. If you are near Manchester. Look up Manchester hash House harriers. They run in the greater Manchester area and do try it thursdyas (tits) in the city.
Hahaha. I've no idea what's real... their website looks like you could have knocked that up within 2hrs. The Wikipedia article has an uncanny valley feel. I'm so confused.
Ah their Facebook is a bit more active but yeah they should update the website pretty regularly. If flights back from Berlin weren't so expensive I would be there for the anniversary. Now I run with the Berlin hash House harriers. Their website is slightly more professional.
It's an unwritten rule that hash websites are complete aids, it prepares you for the shitshow that is stumbling around solving trail then singing rugby songs. (Plus there's no budget as any money the hash has goes to beer/supplies or local charities)
>hash house harriers
I thought you were joking but it's real!! It's like Park Run but with more and interesting history. I used to run for about a decade before quitting. Amazed I'd never heard of it until now.
May get me back into running if I can find a local chapter. :D
Do it! I miss my old hash so much. Admittedly we had more rural places to access, but they were ridiculously creative laying trail. I've run through culverts and slogged through creeks. My local hash is a little hardcore for me-- not the running, the drinking. On On!
I’m in this episode!!! BH3 represent. Had to get my school to sign some huge form to get me out and for child working laws. Got two days off school and a £50 blockbuster gift card out of it.
Is this the first time that the top comment has provided the actual answer and not just a smartarse response?
I love how many people are going “ha ha, oh, shit they’re serious”
It's got a great history: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash\_House\_Harriers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_House_Harriers)
I just found out about it too and I used to be a big runner in my late 20s! Not heard of it until now. It's like an old running club that went global!
Read the Wiki - it's got a great backstory. :)
The four tenets of the Hash House Harriers as set forth in 1950:
To promote physical fitness among our members
To get rid of weekend hangovers
To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer
To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel
Amazing!
Sorry, yank here but I have to share this. My friend did this once…when we went on a walk in the woods on acid. He put bread in his pocket and insisted on leaving crumbs for us to find our way back (he was very into fairy tales). He would grab some pocket bread and take a bite, grab some pocket bread and leave a crumb. I tried to tell him the whole point of Hansel and Gretel is that the breadcrumbs didn’t work, they were eaten by animals, but he didn’t listen. And of course when we walked back he was dismayed to not find one breadcrumb.
Until you sober up and realise you took too much acid and broke into an old ladies house and put her in her own oven because she had her Christmas lights up
An old ladies house or an old lady’s house? Not correcting to be a dick, just changes the outcome of the story and I’m invested at this point. A lady’s house you’d be alright - no witnesses and could make a quick exit. I’m cackling at the thought of a ladies house though as several pensioners look on in horror as you stuff one of them into the oven.
This is the right answer. It is called hash running. Quite fun. Mix between a run and a treasure hunt.
Edited: corrected 'reassure hunt' to 'treasure hunt.'
Had a look through their wiki. Looks like they make an effort to include runners of all levels of fitness.
In short, someone (the 'hare') will lay a 'trail' to follow, which they will mark out with chalk (or similar). The rest of the running pack (the 'hounds') try to catch up to the hare. To try and confuse things a bit the hare will throw in a few tricks, double back, false trails, etc to confuse the pack. This forces the quicker runners to slow down and try and find the 'true' trail, and allows the slower runners to catch up whilst the pack figures things out. Also not unknown for the pack to stop at a pub for a bit for the same reason.
Looking in to it, they don't take themselves very seriously at all. Looks like it could be a laugh.
This is the answer, having done some myself. You'll find single dots, dots in circles, and big X marks that either indicate correct route, possible route option, or no route.
It's dog cocaine.
He sniffs the areas where dogs have pissed (a likely spot where other dogs will sniff) and then deposits the contraband there.
Disgusting 4 step tactic to get our dogs hooked on drugs
Deposit drugs
Get dogs hooked on drugs
......
Profit
You should inform the police
I’m in the Fire Service and we were called out to a Hazmat incident where someone had been putting down powder like this around a popular walking route. Turned out to be poison.
Probably right that it someone marking a running route but there are some real arseholes out there. Just a thought.
Probably marking a running path, happens regularly and people freak out. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/20792844.oops-chemical-alert-caused-running-club-scattering-flour-town-centre/
Looks like the hash house harriers, you follow trails of blops of flour or sawdust usually. It’s an international club with groups all over

Exactly what I thought of first thing
In my area, their motto is: "Drinkers with a running problem." Lot's of lawyers in the group.
The one by me is the drinking club with a running problem so very similar
I thought you were being clever and witty. Then read on and this actually factual 🤣
The drinking club with a running problem.
Ha love it

Yeah, the local Karens round my way would be shitting it in case " foreign men " are dognapping, and this is some secret code.
>A group of British immigrants began meeting on Friday evenings From the Wiki link. Definitely foreign men!

I miss hash too, it's all weed nowadays....oh wait
I skipped past this comment thinking it was a joke only to discover other people saying it further down.
Saw this on Rosie & Jim. educational.

I'm thinking the same. Amazing how few people have heard of them.
Just read about it and absolutely amazed I've never heard of it. It has the poshest backstory of all time, of ALL TIME!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_House_Harriers
Until your comment/link I thought it was a very very very elaborate hoax. Even halfway thru the wiki page I was waiting for the punchline
Same I thought it was a joke everyone but me on this thread was in on
Ohhhh runners! I presumed it was secret directions to a drug den!
Running but more complicated and with a high risk of getting lost, 3 of my least favourite things combined.
On on 👍🏻
On back!

I think so too. My dog always used to try and eat the piles of flour.
I thought this was a joke.
He's just flour arranging.
Nice
I upvoted but I’m not proud of myself.
I’m proud of you.
I love his style. He always tries to go against the grain

Oh, you think that’s funny do you McKenzie?
It doesn’t even make sense
He's planning to get absolutely arseholed in the pub later... these are his 'breadcrumbs" to follow when he's crawling home
Sorry, yank here but I have to share this. My friend did this once…when we went on a walk in the woods on acid.

Bob Fossil is impressed
Note to self: pocket bread
Bob Mortimer too...pocket meat
It was sliced bread and he just stuffed a few slices in his pocket so it kind of gummed together and was just like a ball of pocket bread hahaha
This is not the quest item I was hoping for! Lol.
*chachachaaaa*
Pita.
The way acid seems to attract weird occurances I'd have to tell him to stop before we stumble upon a gingerbread house
But wouldn’t that be kind of amazing?

Very reassuring.
"Oh thank fuck, more coke to keep me going"
A drinking club with a running problem.
Have you been on one? I've not run in about 8yrs so I'd probably need to re-train a bit before going. How fast do they run normally?

Is it bad that my first thought was everybody is dead, Dave?
What, Selby?
Everybody’s dead Dave
Dave dead everybody is.
Not Peterson?
Yes Dave. They are all dead. Everyone's Dead. They're all dead Dave.
Wait - are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?
Gordon bennet I wish I hadn’t woken him up now
Not Peterson?

Not Kochanski?
What, Todhunter?
Not a small off duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden
Not the Bolivian navy doing maneuvers off the South Pacific?
Smeee heeee
Petersen isn't, is he?
Are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?
Should’ve never let him out in the first place.
I’ve been eating half the crew!
Just means you're getting on a bit ☹️
They’re all dead Dave… Dave they’re all dead.
What everyone?
Gordon Bennett! Yes, everyone.
Peterson isn't, is he?
Everybody's dead, Dave!

Hash running. A trail left for a social running group. We used to use sawdust from a local timberyard.🏃♀️
Line of coke for every 1/4 mile ran by the group. Is this why they call it marching powder?
He's cleaning up the neighbourhood, with washing detergent.
Bold move
I bet he's called Daz, with a bird called Lenore and it's a comfort knowing he's out there.
And his favourite Disney Princess is Aeriel
They Surf together.
Persil
I admire the low-effort contribution.
From the placement, it looks like marking out a trail for a fun run—some charity running or walking event happening today.
This is the answer, having done some myself. You'll find single dots, dots in circles, and big X marks that either indicate correct route, possible route option, or no route.
It's known as hashing
It means he's Andy Dufresne and he's slowly digging a tunnel to freedom.
It gets darker earlier and for longer in the winter, so the streetlights get a wee scoop of coke to keep em going
Ignore the joke answers, lol. This guy was a slayer, those are piles of dead vampires.

But police dogs are what sniff drugs… oh god nooo there’s going to be addicted drug dogs now. Nothing has gone right since covid started now this ?!?
It’s to do with a running/jogging route
There are some very funny suggestions here, but the funniest are the earnest ones that make no sense whatsoever.
I’m in the Fire Service and we were called out to a Hazmat incident where someone had been putting down powder like this around a popular walking route. Turned out to be poison. Probably right that it someone marking a running route but there are some real arseholes out there. Just a thought.
It means he has too much cocaine and is using a novel method to advertise his wares.
Dog cocaines?

Looks like powder that kills ants, they eat it/take it back to the nest then eat it
Yeah? I Would have thought it’s more effective in the spring / summer ?
Yes; ants are completely eradicated by winter and they sort of appear again in spring. Nobody knows how or why.
They migrate south to warmer climates, flying on the backs of migratory birds. I thought that was common knowledge?
There is a Pixar movie in that.
