Lilongwe Hash

There is a Hash House Harriers Group in Lilongwe and we finally were able to join them, as this Monday the meeting point was less than 10 minutes walk from our house…and walk is what you do when you don’t have a car!  It was quite different from the Riyadh Hash, that’s for sure.  No need for sponsor, no cryptic map, no circle before the run, no Allen ;-( as RA…  The people we met were rather nice and welcomed us openly.  It just was so different!  We walked along the river in fields and then along the Lilongwe Golf Course, at a rapid pace. Could hardly keep up!  The Runs take place on Monday early evening and start at one person’s house, taking the group through various areas of town.  Therefore after the run, we all gathered at one house, were served pizza and could purchase soft drinks and beer.  After some socializing, the circle was called;  returning members and visitors were recognized and had a down-down.  Two were punished, one for getting his car stuck and one for driving to the hash, when her house was 3 houses down!  Overall an interesting way to spend a Monday evening…
