After getting some culture on Sunday morning and having a nice lunch, we headed to the Brussels Manneke Piss Hash starting point under the iconic Atomium, which our family visited in 2008. We were late, which wasn’t ideal, but luckily managed to catch up.
It was a great 10K trail going through several parks, including one lovely wooded bit, and past some historic sites along the way.
Considering the massive size of the Atomium, we actually rarely spotted it from trail. This is the view heading down the last hill towards the beer break, which BMPH3 does within 1.5K of the end rather than around the midpoint like our Dutch hashes.
Unfortunately, we visited while many of our BMPH3 friends were on a ski week, but Chris did a good job keeping us entertained during the circle. No doubt the most unusual part were the crickets from a local farm served by a new hasher; there were several different spiced options to choose from and they were oddly tasty.
As this was my fifth BMPH3 hash, I went ahead and paid an extra fee to “join.” As the sun started to set, it was time to head back to Holland.
