This page is a tribute to the great friends we have made on the Abuja HHH and particularly the more informal Abuja mini-hash. Below are some pictures with a bit of explanations as far as that is possible.</div> <bR> <div> <I>Hash House Harriers er blevet en vigtig del af vores expat liv - det er underholdende og skørt, det er en supergod måde at møde nye venner på, og så er det da også en mulighed for at få lidt motion. Denne side er til ære for vores venner fra Abuja HHH og specielt fra den mere uformelle Abuja mini-hash. Nedenfor er der nogle billeder med forklaringer så vidt det er muligt.</I></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="761" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 257 WIDTH="491"><div> The hash run usually starts with the hares (those that have set the running route) giving some sort of explanation about the run - like how far the run is, how many water crossings, how many hills, the number of beer stops etc. It is usually pretty unreliable information that we get...especially when the hares are the two gentlemen to your right!</div> <bR> <div> <I>Hashløbet starter normalt med at harerne (dem der har lagt ruten) fortæller lidt om løbet  - sådan som hvor langt løbet er, hvor mange steder vi skal krydse vand, hvor mange bakker og ølstop der er osv.
