Wessex Hash House Harriers

The Wessex Hash House Harriers was established in 1979 and runs throughout Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and into Somerset.

The Wessex is a family Hash, running every Sunday morning at 11.00am sharp.

All runs are from pubs/clubs, providing some much-needed refreshment for those who survive!

Every week we provide two runs; the 'Mini' being between 4 and 5 miles of easy-going trails, and the 'Main' being a more demanding 6-8 miles over challenging terrain.

We attract a wide range of Hashers from all walks of life: judges, builders, housewives, children, Royal Marines and more than a few alcoholics (!)

After every run we get together over drinks to review the run and award suitable light-hearted punishments for misdemeanours made.

These usually take the form of the traditional Hash 'Down-Down' a ceremony where the offender is subjected to choral harrassment before their peers followed by enforced drinking of a suitable beverage.

It's all good, clean fun (well, not always clean!) with no politics or officialdom, so why not get out and join us this weekend?

Visitors (hashers and non-hashers) are charged £1.00.
