There's a saying
that a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet. And what better way to meet
friends than at a weekly gathering lubricated by beer? Well, there is that
small matter of running before the beer, I suppose.
The Nicosia Hash
House Harriers is one of many 'kennels' around the world dedicated to running
and drinking. Due to the affectionate abbreviation of the hash, one can see how
they might be confused as indulging in the hash of the other kind though such
an assumption would be wrong.
Unofficially
dubbed as “the drinking club with a running problem”, they meet every Tuesday
evening, rain or shine, for about an hour's run/jog/walk around town before
meeting back at the starting point for beer, the ritualistic circle, and last
but not least, food. There is plenty of opportunity to talk to others as well
as to see more of the town that you're living in.
Info on every
week's starting point can be found on the website: http://www.nh4.com.cy//. Truthfully, the only way to truly understand what they're
about is to come out for a run with them!
