Ladies and "Gentlemen" of the Guangzhou Hash,

This Saturday's trail on the Guangzhou Hash is designed specifically for a certain type of hasher…a specific brand of young hariette, if you will:

You know the type. Wearing a smart jumper bought yesterday at Decathlon, her double-layered Nike socks chosen carefully to match her two-sizes-too-small leggings, she shoots a Douyin video at the A Point that will soon be posted under the title 'Walk With Foreigner Friend in the Fairy Land.' The video will attract a sensational 17 views. 14 of these views will come from her grandmother's phone after nai nai sets the phone down to wipe herself.

Most of all, our young, soon-to-be damsel-in-distress has worn the brightest of white shoes. Bedazzled with a Balenciaga logo, the synthetic leather shimmers with crystalline sequins, every swing of her foot a flourish with the confidence of a sandcastle at low tide.

She looks like a hiker. She looks the part.

She is Napoleon advancing upon the Russian winter.

This Saturday's trail embraces the oncumming Hash season of wet, heat, and thirst that we all love. While we wait for the creek beds to rise and the B point pools to fill, we get the next best options in the next best trail ever with MUD SWEAT & BEERS. We return to sweet Mother Maofeng to get a good dose of nature lathered all over the outside and cleanse the inner soul after it all with a beer(s).

On On! 🍻
