Dear HHHashers,

Bringing you the postponed, rescheduled and much anticipated Mt. Kenya Oxygen Run, now taking place on 25th and 26th Feb halfway up the southern slopes in Kirinyaga District, less than 2 hours from town.

Here's the full info from CradleSnatcher:

Welcome once again to Castle Forest Lodge for our Power Walk (??surely that should be "arduous mountain HASH" [ed.]??) through the scenic flora, fauna and wildlife of Mt. Kenya, home to buffalo, elephant and the elusive Giant Forest Hog (aka Freddy Queen). The route will take you right up to the edge of the bamboo forest. The slow walkers will this time have a marked route, which will naturally be shorter.

The following accommodation is available:

- 4 cottages each with 2 single beds;

- 4 cottages each with a double bed;

- 2 bungalows with 2 bedrooms each with a double bed in each bedroom;

- 3 rooms in the main house with twin beds in each room; or...

- camping (bring your own gear).

Prices:

KSH 2,200 FB per person sharing per night.

KSH 1,900 HB per person sharing per night.

KSH 1,000 single supplement per night.

Camping: KSH 300. Add KSH 500 for breakfast and lunch (err, not sure about dinner; C'snatcher better clarify).

DRINKS ARE ON THE HASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the Programme

(Optional) 10:00 Meet at Nakumatt on Thika Road to drive in convoy. Otherwise get yourself straight to the lodge (map to be handed out at upcoming Hash runs).

Before 13:00: Arrive and pitch tents (or get settled into your palaces).

14:00 The Walk (?!) starts. Short walk led by Freddy Queen and the normal one for the rest.

18:00  Clean up (for those of you who don't know what this is , just get yourself in the shower).

19:00-19:30: Circle up, Down Downs, jokes and all that come with it................

20:00-20:30 Dinner for those who have booked it (or fry up your 2 meagre sausages in your tent).

Thereafter you will be able to commune with nature, sit by the fireplace, talk to the moon (if it's there), party while drinking your own poison. And lastly... Total Collapse. Do not disturb the animals

with your snoring, please.

There's no set programme for this day, so you can………….

Sit by your tent and gaze………………

Continue from where you left off yesterday.
