More Commune Hashing...

On April 19, it was Ashlynn’s turn to hare (her first time without one of her parents along) and devirginize Bjarne (as a hare for the first time, of course) for an Amsterdam H3 Virtual Hash. 

We started in a small park around the corner from our house, which was the perfect spot for some group photos.

It was nice that they had prelaid the trail so they could run with us. 

I was thoroughly impressed that they managed to not only find spots in Voorschoten that we hadn’t already hashed through, but spots that we’d never been to in the 7+ years that we’ve lived here including this wooded spot for the beer break. 

On May 3, Opee laid yet another Amsterdam H3 Virtual Hash. This time our beer break was in a parking lot behind an industrial area with a nice view of a canal and farm. 

I captured this group shot in a sideview mirror of a classic car. 

On May 7, Opee laid a FILTH H3 trail from our house towards De Vink train station. Along the way, the kids all tried the zipline. Bjarne and Ashlynn managed to stay dry, even though they were clearly over the weight limit, but Brett ended up dragging his feet through the water. 

We were quite excited when the Dutch government announced it was relaxing the “shelter-in-place” guidelines to include only those who were feeling ill starting on May 11. We decided to tempt fate four days early by meeting up with Reinhardt and Inga near the station for a beer break. Clearly this isn’t a usual pose for us; I think we were pretending to grab the full moon. 

The trail ended at our house, where we did a quick circle and then Reinhardt and Inga ran the first part of trail before continuing back to their house. It was so great they could join us.
