What have you done Mrs Robinson...?

A ginger-haired, cross-dressing Irishman. Perfect choice for the next GM.

Cambridge. A city where you can discuss the mysteries of the universe with the world's finest minds. Stroll down "the backs" and breathe in the history and architecture of one of the world's most famous seats of learning.

Alternatively, you could wander along to the

Cantabrigensis Hash House Harriers

This motley crew of "drinkers with a running problem" meets every Monday at 7pm at the St Radegund pub in Kings Street, Cambridge.We, too, discuss important mysteries of the universe such as Does Size Matter? We, too, meander down ancient alleyways that time has forgotten, as indeed have the local sanitation inspectors.

A typical Monday gathering will have a mix of Town, Gown, and Yanks (sorry, that should have read "Atlantically Challenged"). Professionally our numbers include students, lecturers, computer scientists, US air base staff, a condom tester, and others who actually work for a living. We have a large female contingent, who don't quite outnumber the men but make up for it by being far more rowdy. Fitness levels vary from the Seriously Athletic to those who are looking for a short cut home by the time they reach the end of the street.

In short, everyone is welcome - just turn up - and it's free* !

Cantab Hash Birthday etc (26 Oct 2009)

Party time!

Cantab Hash 8th 10th birthday
GM changeover
Landlord Bunter's retirement

Above: After much pontification someone finally gives Bunter a beer

Left: New GM Gus wears a nifty little thigh-length black number which accentuates his light blue top and mauve boa. New landlord James makes a valiant attempt at a welcoming smile.

Right: The ceremonial pants of power are handed over from the arse on the right to the arse on the left.

Below: Reactions to the new appointment are mixed.

River Run (12 Oct 2009)

The annual river run is from Grantchester to Cambridge (or vice versa, depending on the oddity of the year), with half-pint beer stops at 10 pubs along the way. Er, leakage of any sort is nor permitted.

This year the race saw a star performance from Gosia, who proved to have not only the speed but the drinking ability to fend off her male competitors. Never has the circle chant of "beaten by a woman" been so richly deserved.

Admittedly, her navigational system did break down after the race and her route home that night was somewhat unconventional. But that's another story...

Incidentally, there is of course a choice as to whether to race as fast as possible, or to take a more leisurely approach and savour the beer on offer. The photos above are of the first four home, the ones below took rather longer. As for who is having the most fun, judge for yourselves.

Chariots of Fire (20 Sept2009)

Ah, what an impressive collection of running and drinking talent!

Here are the stats for the Cantabrigensis Hash House Harriers:

Number of runners: 66

Number of teams: :11

Number of teams in the top 7 who finished in less than an hour: Two

Number of teams in the top 25 out of 363: Four

Money raised and handed over to Hewitsons: £1485

Money donated to charity as a result: Nil. Moral: never trust a lawyer with your money (apart from Abi, of course).

On the left, we have the fastest mixed team, a.k.a the Cantab Whippets. Unfortunately they didn't actually win, as Hewitsons decided at the last minute that having a fair mix of females and males wasn't a requirement for a mixed team (Duh?)

On the right, we have the speedy old gits of the Cantab Hash Old Masters team. They didn't win either, for the simple reason that another team of even speedier old gits did.

And so it was left to the senior ladies to show the club's running prowess and claim the "fastest old biddies" prize.

Well done to the team of Kate (Capt), Alison, Josie, Lemons, Cecile, and Beverly.

Two more of our esteemed entrants:

On the left, "Cantab Hash The Baron's Wieners"

On the right, "Cantab Hash Trailblazers"


Enough of the running...it is after all a "Running and Drinking" club...

Bad Hair Day at the Hash

The reasons and dates of this particular hash are lost in time...however the pictures live on...

After exhaustive searching, Dogsh*t eventually finds a hasher intelligent enough to interview.

Crushy however continues to prove Darwin wrong - he couldn't have evolved from anything as intelligent as an ape, surely?

OK male hashers, anyone *not* recognise the bum on the left? It's not like you've never noticed it before, is it...

Meanwhile, note to self: Wear black wig and dark glasses more often...

Jeremy's attempts to improvise after forgetting to wear a wig are not well received.

Beer stop on Underwear's trail (14 Sept 2009)

Well, there was all this beer left over from Grunty Fen...

Amazing how many people you can fit into a garden. Scared the crap out of the cat, though.

Grunty Fen (13 Sept 2009)

Once more the Cantabrigensis hashers dominated the Grunty Fen half marathon. Not that we actually won anything as such (other than Yorkshire Whippet winning his usual "fastest middle aged person" in some category or other). But we certainly dominated in numbers, drank more than the other teams, and anyway we had both a Gorilla and a Borat.


Obviously recently married, no-one else would willingly spend that long in the company of their spouse...	Six second swallower puts in a sterling perfomance considering she spent the previous night up to her armpits in a cow's rear end.	Jeremy manages an entire race without falling over, thanks to the attentions of his minder.


Once more many thanks to Jellybean and Yorshire Whippet for the organisation, training and post-race barbecue.	By general agreement, a mankini does not provide sufficient support for running. Or coverage, which given the cold weather is a tribute to Jack.	Oh, so it wasn't a real gorilla after all...	Ettles guards his afternoon's supply of energy drinks.

Trail to Barton July 2009

Ah, the glorious summer.. and the trail out to Barton where Tim (Rent boy), Kathy, and Alison kindly provided beer, wine, snacks, transport home, and paint.


Gemma gets to christen some new shoes...	Perry gets wood(any takers?)...	...and everyone gets a few pants in the country...


..then a few pints in the country...	....and a tractor ride back to the pub. What more can one ask?

The Vice House weekend (26 June 2009)

It's every hashers dream: A good looking harriette who not only owns her own pub, but has a mum who is willing to get up and cook everybody breakfast!

Many thanks to Emily (Rear Admiral) and her mum for hosting a weekend of peace, love, and music.Well, ok, it was more a weekend of drinking, hashing, and bashing, but there *was* music and a few suspicious noises from some of the tents...


Perry with a few dogs	The GM makes an appearance, looking surprisingly cheerful considering his mum is hogging the beer	Judging from the expression, Brian has been a Very Naughty Boy again...

The band played....


Now that's what I call a game of Jenga! Emily displays a remarkable stillness (a.k.a "hammered")	It all ends with a fine trail and beer stop, but why is it always the males who take their tops off?

The Cantabrigensis Black Tie run (8 June 2009)

An excellent event, and a big thanks to organisers William, Nick, and Jeremy.

Nearly everyone had a good time.

Gemma had a bad hair day. If fact, her hair was so bad it rebelled and tried to asphyxiate her.

Brian is still a Very Naughty Boy.

It was an early evening in summer, perfectly made for couples...

..though admittedly some couples were having their ups and downs...

..whilst others seemed to be disturbingly self-sufficient..

Prague marathon Spring 2009

Prague was the lucky city chosen by Cantab HHH to host its 2009 marathon expedition.

Best performance award goes to Jeremy, who managed to miss both the team photo and the trail, his final time of 6.5 hours including an unscheduled 3 hour trip around the local hospital.

Czech beer is legendary, but you do have to be careful about the after-effects!

The Inaugural Cantabrigensis Hash May Ball

OK, let's be honest, there were several of us who thought the Guildhall was a bit of a dump. But after the Cantab Hash facelift, under the creative eye of chief artist Ollie, it looked absolutely superb.

There was music..

There was food...

There were dancing girls...

...and dancing men (well, they jigged up an down a bit)

There was the smart crowd...

...and, well, the other crowd..

Out of curiosity, anyone recognise the nose?

The GM put in an appearance, and managed to pull several times during the evening

"Are these the biggest you've got?"	"Lower you silly cow, I can't reach them from here!"	"ARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!"

Ed demonstrates once again that no matter how well you are doing early in the evening, it's who you are with at the end of the evening that matters...

The St Radegund pub is in the Good Beer Guide, and was once voted Cambridge Pub of the Year. Bunter the landlord is convinced they were confusing the St Radegund with some other hostelry, and has promised to make amends by being even more rude to his clientele in the future.

Would you like to swap emails with intelligent, athletic, interesting people?

Pity, can't help you there. But if you'll settle for the odd incomprehensible junk mail from our Monday night crowd of drinkers with a running problem you may want to sign up on our mailing list.
